Well then I guess Bama left their horses in the stables for the Ole Miss and Arkansas games, because they got beat pretty bad in that department.

Wut? EVERYONE who was pro O did.

I agree that Etling looked and played like shite, but we can't sit there and say we had a great offensive plan against Bama. If you want to blame everything on the QB and oline, then I see no reason why O could come in and develop that stuff in the future. The question is, why keep him around as a head coach? For his game planning that you think he did so great at Saturday? Maybe for his history of QB and oline development? No. He'll have to rely on his assistance for that stuff.

Don't you think relying on assistants for recruiting is better than relying on assistants to win games for you on both sides of the ball and developing your players? My god, how much are we going to have to rely on our coordinators for? Are we basically going to have three head coaches? But why?

Recruiting is essential. That much is obvious.

However, no matter who is the next coach, he will not outrecruit Saban. No one does. Saban will have the number 1 class nearly every year and will rarely, if ever, be outside the top 5.

As such, we have to have an innovative scheme to help mitigate and/or overcome the talent difference. Miles never offered that. Orgeron doesn't offer it either. We can't keep trying the same approach.

In dealing with the reality of Saban at Bama, a top 15-20 recruiting class with an elite scheme is superior to a top 5 recruiting class with a motivator who can't play chess. Hopefully we can combine the two, but to hire the latter at the expense of the former is the definition of crazy at this point.

Then why did Cutcliffe, Nutt, and Freeze all have better overall classes at Ole Miss than O did? I thought he was a master recruiter?


Is the OP going to address this?
