I'm not sure everyone agrees that rebuilding most the offensive line in year 4 with inexperienced transfers is "going about it the right way", nor do they think another rebuild in year 4 should be warranted. That is the crux of the argument and why some disagree with the message of the video. If discussion of the contents of the video and dissenting opinions bother you then just ignore the thread.
It's not year 4 for the OL. Collins first OL recruits were signed in the 2020 class.
yeah talking about what we were doing as a pregame warmup 3 seasons ago totally has everything to do with the context of the thread lol please explain what that had to do with the thread aside from a select few group of guys continuing to just create new things to moan and whine about
Sir, this is a Wendy’s. Seriously lighten up. It’s a Cfb message board for a program that’s gone 9-25 in three years. This HC either makes the turn or hes gone. He’s been a solid disappointment for 3 years for a myriad of reasons.
That's a low bar to clear. Let's hope it's a LOT better than the last three years.
It's de facto year 1 and I don't mean that as an excuse for CGC. It is sad that we have had so much turnover with so little to show for it. We keep inserting transfer portal guys instead of developing talent that we recruit. O-line is a group that is heavily dependent on chemistry and knowing the guy(s) next to you. We have not had that in quite some time and I don't expect it next year. I do think we will see an improvement because, like bobongo said, the bar is just set so low.
so.... year 3. and we spent the last 2 years filling the OL with transfers (and losing) instead of getting our actual recruits playing time (and still losing).
So, if you were coaching, we would've played a weaker freshman line. No thanks. Keep your current job.
I don't blame Collins and the staff for the transfers they've brought in. There were some very promising guys who looked like they could have helped us out on the OL. I blame the OL coach for the performance of transfers who went downhill after they got here, and the performance in general of the whole sorry offensive line for the last three years. If Brent Key can't cobble together something decent this year, he's got to go. He should have been gone already.
I'm definitely not qualified to be a coach, but what did we really gain playing all the transfers over our recruits? I'm all for winning, but we haven't been winning.
Several years of strength and experience. We just were not deep enough for our schedules. Just a bit edgy lately. Sorry if I got you off center.
Every team has injuries. Too many missed assignments, too many whiffed blocks, too many years, and too many excuses.
Kind of like this year…..smh
Dang haha
Thanks MikeBack to the video by Bryce, just watched it. I think it was really well done. He doesn't try to sell that this OL is going to be a complete answer this year, but gives reasons why it could finally be the solid base from which to build, that multiple players have years of eligibility to play and grow together. He mentions 'runway', which is basically asking is the current coaching staff going to be here to see it through, without making that the premise of the video. He doesn't go into any kind of detail about each player really, but does a good job of setting the table at a high level.
I do wonder if he's been listening to Kele Eveland thoughthe 'Jor Tech' team
Yea not quite. This OLine will be better, because last year was bad...like really bad
