What's your grade on Coach O based on season/recruiting so far?

Prior to Florida game, I would have given Coach O a D at best. However, beating a talented and sixth-ranked Florida team on the road with the extremely young team we had, IMO bumped him up to a C. Add on this amazing recruiting class - and it's not done yet - I have to give him a C-plus. If he can beat Ole Miss this weekend and sign some quality OL with our remaining spots, I would bump him up to a B-.

I thought other teams would raid our recruits, but I have to give O credit for keeping the recruits we had committed and pulling off a few surprises in the process. Considering how our season has gone, a Top 5 recruiting class is borderline miraculous!

On the flipside, I still have to knock him for hiring BP and for failing to convince kids from opting out before and during the season.

Still, the last 7 days have been heaven compared to the previous weeks when it seemed like the sky was falling.

So what's your grade?

D-
Since the title game we lost two great coaches, over 30 players, the bad hire of Pelini, cared more about his relationship with his young girlfriend. He lost his fire in my eyes. He didn't please the BLM crowd like other coaches, but I don't blame him for that. Only reason why I don't give him an F is because we didn't have as bad of a class as I thought we would

D+

The defense is simply inexcusable, and the O line sill has major issues. Couple that with some truly horrid game results, and well here we are. Even if we win Saturday, 5-5 isn't worth of any kind of C grade IMO. Pelini and Linehan hires were total flops.

Now I will be optimistic going into next year if we get this win, get some more big guys, and keep our key draft eligible players.

Recruiting: A, especially considering the most recent recruits.

Season performance: C, which seems generous until you factor in player and coach attrition, COVID, etc.

INCOMPLETE! This season has been a total sh*tshow. No Spring, Summer, and then COVID! Not to mention the losses to the NFL and opt outs. Then a whole new Defensive scheme. The most successful teams are the ones who have older guys who have been in their systems.

Bash Bash Bash...... but I agree that he has done crap this year....... until last Saturday. He somehow found a way to get his team fired up to beat A very good FLA team. But I don’t think you have given him credit for this.

He can knock that up to a C+ this weekend, hopefully.

It wasn't, like it always isn't. You are a fricking clown and exhibit A of why this site could use an ignore feature. You bring nothing to the table.

Recruiting B+ - will go up if he can add to the O line

Coaching B. Gotta hit on those coordinator hires and Pelini has been god awful. Linehan has been bad everywhere he’s been. Need to upgrade those hires

You can't go 4-5 at LSU while losing to the likes of Missouri.

This shite is so overplayed and stupid. He has a girlfriend. No one on this website has any insight on Ed's personal Life or how much time he spent with his girlfriend. Like 2 total pictures exist. Somehow that = he doesn't care about football and only cares about pussy.

We will finish with the #3 overall recruiting class behind the literal best two recruiting classes of all time, While we are dealing with NCAA allegations.

For the season: D. The defense is inexcusable. The Florida win was great, no doubt, but it doesn’t erase how we started the season.

Recruiting: B+
