Robinson didn't make a single pre-season All-SEC team by Phil Steele (4 teams) or the Coaches (3 teams) this past year. Now he is fist team all-SEC tackle in the AP (3rd team tackle in the country) and considered a top 10 pick by some. Which coach do you think was responsible for his meteoric rise this year?


Maybe it just clicked...it happens. Also because Auburn had a great season, it helps as far as getting noticed. Those same preseason polls you speak of didn't include Auburn in anything. Look he may be a great coach, but to say it was all him is a little ridiculous imo.

Also, are JB and Jeff Grimes related?

Sounds like it's a done deal...

I say robinson is. He's always been a talent, he was in his third year where the mental part of the game starts to meche with the physical. I think he turns out the way he did no matter who the coach is.

I've seen a lot of players have break out years in their third year. A lot were coached by the same coach the prior year and a lot were with different coaches.

The consistant thing with AU's two n.c. runs was an experienced offensive line. something both coaches get credit for. Grimes when they won the n.c. and the guy this year.

I've always said, it's amazing how smart and dumb a coach becomes based on a player gained or a player lost. Grimes became average after the offensive line graduated. Gene was genius when cam played. Gene gets fired when cam leaves.

I can say the same about myer and tebow. we'll see a lot this year with gus. I think it was telling gus got the hell out two years after the n.c., he was average the next year, and his stock was trending down. why? lack of players. If it was the coach, vandy would have a n.c. by now.
