Good or Bad Impression from Denbrock?

I was high on him before the game, but walked away not feeling great about it. Regardless of talent level, it didn’t seem like that creative of playcalling throughout the whole game.
How do you feel about him as OC at this point?

Simply out manned tonight IMO

Fine. He runs alot of different concepts and incorporates lots of play action on early downs, which is a huge indicator of offensive success

He walked into an unfair fight today. Having said that, I have some questions about the scheme he and BK will employ. Seems like they like a lot of ball control, safe throws using RPO and play action.

I'm not going to freak out about one game against Alabama.
Cincy's O-line simply got their arse whipped, and the talent disparity mattered. We should know as well as anybody that it's hard to get into any rhythm on offense when you can't run, and the QB has no time.

He didn't wow me but maybe it was the talent disparity. Jury still out

yeah I'm not sure how you can feel great about him after that performance
I also didn't know Ridder sucked that much. He's a 3rd round talent at best.

Judging on the playoff game, I feel ok, actually. Cincy dropped TDs on 2 separate drives. This wasn't against a disinterested P5 team in a random bowl, it was Bama in the playoffs.

If the TD throws were caught y'all would be saying totally different things now.

His QB was the 1,657 ranked HS player . How do you get to the semis with that?
Posted on 1/1/22 at 9:23 am to jp90
Feel fine with him! The offensive line got blown up. It will be night and day calling offense plays with the skill level LSU has.
Posted on 1/1/22 at 9:40 am to jp90
I’m cool with him. I don’t judge someone by one game... especially when his players are outmanned at every position.
Posted on 1/1/22 at 9:43 am to jp90
Opening drive was good...he adjusted to try and hide line disadvantage. Made more adjustments at halftime and had a good drive. Oline could not compete with Bamas strengtg ot quickness
Posted on 1/1/22 at 9:44 am to jp90
He is much better than the unqualified Orgeron and Peetz.
Posted on 1/1/22 at 9:58 am to jp90
He helped get them there, which is pretty huge. I’ve never judged a team by the way they play Bama.

This game had no effect on my opinion of him. There was a thread a couple days ago suggesting yesterday’s melt would be epic. Several of us warned you guys not to let it sway your opinion. What happened yesterday was somewhat predictable.
A program like Cincinnati can attract a few top-notch players here and there. But Alabama has top-notch players EVERYWHERE. And when they rotate out, the fresh guys coming in are just as good. The talent gap is very difficult to overcome, but possible. But when you give a great coach like Nick Saban several weeks to prepare, he will find your weakness and exploit it.
There’s very little you can take away from that game in terms of how good those Cindy coaches unless you focus on two things. The first is that they simply made it to that stage. I have a friend who is only a casual college football fan ask me “Who did Bama beat.” When I told him it was Cincinnati, his response was “CINCINNATI? Who the heck is Cincinnati?” They are not even on most people’s radar. So for them to make it to the CFP is a big deal and a testament to great coaching.
The other thing I’d look at is their scripted plays. We’re they able to scheme their way into mismatches? They were. They drove down the field with relative ease. Nick Saban calls a timeout, makes an adjustment, and is able to hold them to a FG. That’s what Nick Saban does. But the Bearcat coaches were able to have success in small spurts.
Their downfall was their OL. On the second series, Beas DL began to Tee-off on the lesser talented Cindy OL, and ultimately rattle their QB. Later in the game, when Cindy had WRs open, he was so rattled, he had a hard time getting the ball to them. Again, that’s what Bama does. That is where talent level comes makes a difference. That is why CBK has been working diligently to fix our OL issues. But understand this, you won’t completely fix it in one recruiting class. I expect us to get better, especially with the addition of veteran OL transfers. But it will take another year or two to completely overhaul it.

I don’t think some understand that when your oline gets dominated it doesn’t what you call.

Brennan and Boutte were probably the two biggest guys we needed for 2022 and they’re obviously sold on what CBK wants to do on offense, not to mention Miles Frazier who immediately shows OL will be a priority and strength again, finally.
I can see the lack of enthusiasm for a hire like Denbrock as opposed to the excitement generated by the hires on defense, but I’m firmly in the trust CBK camp and believe he’ll be quick to move on if Denbrock can’t provide the support for the offense that will mostly be Kelly’s baby anyway.
And having a dedicated QB coach in Sloan is important imo, not to mention the North LA recruiting boost he brings.
Bottom line is that this is a grown up staff, assembled and run by a professional. Exactly what this program needs right now.
So, I’ll start 2022 in the same mindset that 2021 ended.....

Not impressed at all but have confidence in Kelly making the right decision
