Man, I just put a thread on hear about this, dude is coaching them up. People were bashing his hire, think it was a great hire, don't think they were getting that kind of instruction last year. People don't need to be hating on these "old" guys man. Man pays attention to minute details and that's what makes good, great.

Forget about the age, you're getting hung up on that shite, where's Joseph, he's younger and his arse is on the sidelines watching how it's supposed to be done. If these wr's embrace this, he can make them great wr's.

Don't sleep on Damien Lewis, the second strongest player on the team. They are talking about moving him to center because O says he is too good to keep off the field.

I am sure this has been mentioned on here at length, but it looks to me like like O is hiring big time recruiters as the titled position assistant coaches so they can lean more towards recruiting and bringing in really good position coaches in as advisors to do a lot of the actual coaching up at each position that won’t have to worry about recruiting. Would seem like he is at least willing to look at what Bama is doing and maybe learn from.

But second, to teach Mickey Joseph how to coach the wide reciever position. Just like I'm sure Coach Johnson was mentored by Coach Jenkins.

Its his way of still trying to blame Les for losing games.

you have to realize that semjase has done nothing but shite on our oline play for years. when we had the most all sec olinemen, a rimington award finalist and led the country in yards before contact he was shitting on our line.
he has this notion that there are cfb lines that are elite at both run blocking and pass blocking

Coaching these kids up and stressing emphasis on precision routes. He’s nitpicking every little flaw and wants these guys to learn how to run routes and get open. I’m loving it. Whoever is the starting QB, I have full faith he’ll have some open targets !
And worth noting, this is one (of several) missing pieces in the way too broad "QB development". Except for 2013, as a corp/group, our WRs haven't done our QBs any favors. We took a step forward with Canada by utilizing TEs and RBs in the passing game (so it isn't just WRs), but at the end of the day no QB can elevate his game without WRs being where they are supposed to be when needed to be there.

But we have an awesome plate set for the OL. Grimes gets some credit for that. He deserves some criticism also, but while having a hand in putting us in a somewhat bad position, he also had a big hand in the recovery from that.
It's now Cregg's job to take that set plate and turn it into a gelled OL that AT LEAST does everything well (pass block, run block, assignments/adjustments/calls).
Ingram is ahead of where one would expect him to be. He just might be a sophomore star. Cushenberry I have hopes, and there is reason to have hope, has turned himself into a solid (or better) C. I predict Lewis is going to be excellent. Brumfield is already pretty good, needs improvement, but solid and I expect him to be better/stronger. A little bit of a limb here, but Deculus is going to look like a whole other player this season (he needs to); I'm predicting Cregg is exactly what he needed (and the push from JUCO Traore).
This is the best I've felt about our OL going into a season in several years.

Well said. I agree with pretty much everything you said. Our WRs have not helped our QBs at all. Etling mentioned a few times, while trying not to be too critical, that the WRs were running the wrong routes. We've struggled getting off the jam, adjusting to balls in the air and getting separation. Sullivan should help with all of that. As many know, I'm not a fan of Joseph, but if he sticks around he needs to soak up everything he can from Sullivan because he's not staying on staff long.
I actually think Sullivan and Cregg are solid hires. I just hope it translates into results. I was all for Canada too but that didn't exactly work out.

GCS is showing youngsters how to coach, Mickey Joseph is on the sidelines watching how it's done.

Pete Jenkins wasn't the worst thing that ever happened to LSU. I'd rather have a good coach than a young one.
Cregg happens to be both, which is great.
They were two great hires, but unless the offense actually looks great this year, they'll be overshadowed by the one more important bad hire.

We'll see if there is a left tackle in that bunch. It may help fans' egos on signing day when you sign a bunch of highly rated guards and no left tackles, but it doesn't help win games.
The biggest difference btw Alabama and LSU in on-field talent is they have had 1st round picks at left tackle, while many years LSU has had guys who should be guards. If you can't protect the QB, you are going to be mediocre on offense.

Austin Deculus was a high 4 star, #10 OT in the nation and #7 player in the state of Texas.
LINK
Traore was the #2 ranked JUCO OT. They like Traore a lot and expect him to step in immediately and Deculus should be much better after a year of S+C and development.
