[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 907535, member: 265"] 1. I agree that the OL that Collins inherited was not recruited for his idea of what an OL should do. This does not mean that they were complete stiffs; most of the performance issues in 2019 were due to not being able to put the same 5 on the field for more then a game or two. But … they weren't optional for a pro spread (or whatever it was we were trying to run). 2. The answer to this was to "recruit length"; i.e. big OLs with long arms and height. And high ratings too! We can see how well that has worked by sitting in the stands and looking. Turning to the portal has been similarly fruitless. By now we should be seeing results in the form of an OL that a) has played together for at least 2 years and b) is at least average in performance. That we don't see either one is a result of head coaching that chased recruiting ratings instead of players who fit what we wanted to do (that we didn't know what that was was obvious by year 2). I don't blame Key; he was doing what the boss wanted. It is obvious that hasn't worked. Our highest rated recruits look slightly below average, to be frank. 3. How well our OL fits any coach we hire is due to the coach. When Paul took over he got an OL that was definitely [I]not[/I] what he was looking for. And he proceeded to win 9 games when expert opinion said we'd be lucky to win 3. Why? Well, because the O wouldn't work in a P5 conference and [I]the OL wasn't suited to his offense.[/I] I agree that if we hire coach that knows how to win and build a program (*cough* Chadwell *cough*) then the OL performance will improve because they will know what they are doing and why.
