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 !

He's a very respected WR coach. Glad our talent has someone actually coaching them instead of Mickey Joseph smelling in his own farts in the corner.

I’m not going to forget we have the combined oldest staff in football and some of our coordinators and assistants haven’t coached full time in 20 years.

With that, I’m skeptical until proven otherwise. Hoping for the best.

Mike Duhtillyay says Chark told him that Sullivan was the reason he was better as a senior.

Maybe the Sullivan hire was two-fold for Coach O. First reason of course was to teach the wr's the fundamentals of becoming good recievers. 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.

Damnit, accidental downvote was me. It was supposed to absolutely be an upvote.

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.

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.

Priority 1 what was needed for that position group. Jerry Rice or Biletnikoff didn't become the standard because of their measurable or 40 times. They became household names because they turned their technique into a precision art.

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.

quote:

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.
According to many I've shite on them too; Grimes also. I'd like to think of it as being hypercritical.

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.
