Well our last two head coaches got fired for a reason. Roster management was one of them.

Absolutely, they can pay someone a lot less to figure O line NEED

Look at the O Line class we just brought in. It was the best one we’ve had in years and one of them is already starting. Look at the commits we currently have. This staff is actively working to fix the problem you are talking about.

Didn’t Kelly’s Oline coach from ND follow him down here? I’m assuming Davis will probably be out end of contract

I’m excited to see Emery Jones out there. It’d be nice to see him take the RT spot

Our OL talent is not bad and rarely has been bad. If you survey NFL rosters we are probably top-10 in OL in the league over the past 20 seasons

Rather, our offense schemes are too predictable or narrow.

Kelly hasn’t even had a full recruiting class yet to fix the issue. Can we please give him some time.

We have a low IQ fan base, so who cares what they discuss? They were bad-mouthing the offensive line when we had NFL studs all across the line and won the award for best line in college ball.

LA is not a hotbed for OL.

We need to recruit better out of state.

That will take a year or two

Roster mismanagement the previous 10 seasons caught up to the offensive line in 2020. This year's recruiting and transfer portal haul looks to be a step in the right direction toward alleviating that discrepancy. It will probably take another year or two to work itself out. Kelly's track record of having good o-line play is encouraging and should be a staple here in the future. Patience, while being in short supply on this board, would be advised in this situation.

Why don't you compare how many OL under Kelly ND sent to the NFL vs how many we did in the same time period?

We've had good OL talent through the years. Hasn't been the main problem for sluggishness.
