Not debating the talent, and agree. But more bodies, for the interim, couldn't have hurt.

But depth is not the issue, so why do you keep harping on the transfers? Teuhma leaving absolutely hurt, but you think Orgeron shouldn't be able to suspend players? Hell, we don't even know if he was going to be eligible to play at all this year. If that was the case, then he had to transfer so he could play this year and try and enter the draft.

They go hand-in-hand, sorry. This entire board will shite on Grimes with you until the sun comes up tomorrow, but if you thought this entire thread would go without blaming Orgeron for retaining Grimes, then idk what to tell you. It's a pretty big blemish on Orgeron.

I think O was on the fence about Grimes and decided to give him a shot. It was probably a mistake. The test is how you identify and correct your mistakes. As much as people want to see Orgeron fired, he's not going anywhere for at least two years and probably three. So why keep focusing on him? It's obvious he's ultimately responsible for the poor line play. But why can't we discuss possible solutions to fixing the offensive line that can happen TODAY and THIS season and off-season?

depth is part of the issue. And O being unable to prevent various transfers is indicative of other issues with him, IMO. I said as much.

I didn't say you couldn't. But again, were we not promised he'd surround himself with top level coaches who he would then let coach their respective positions? We are 3 games into the season and it is apparent he did not do that.

And honestly, there isn't really anything O, Grimes or anyone else can do TODAY to fix the issues on OL. These issues aren't corrected mid season. If anything, as you or someone else mentioned, what O can focus on for next year is replacing Grimes and working the JUCO angle for OL, and DL for that matter.
