You don't have to worry about the O haters right now, they are all at bars. Wait until around 2am.

There's some O haters around

I'm not pro O, but the fact that you think our o line has talent tells me all I need to know. The backups are basically all freshmen....plus the two fresh that alternate starting. There is no opportunity to push starters with competition.

You mean like Saban did when he took over at Alabama in 2007, going 6-6, losing to ulm, running off many players, while still having 13 future NFL draft picks on that team?

I'm not a Saban fan but at that point in time, he had already won 1 National Championship.
Orgeron is a great guy but he hasn't been successful as a head coach. Look at this season alone.
I wish him the best, no doubt, but I think it's more than he can handle.
Saban won a national championship prior to his arrival at Bama. O's team hung on by a thread to beat freaking Syracuse.

The mistake was moving clapp to center. It made dodd transfer, well it wasn't really a mistake until teuh flunked out. Then we were fricked.

OLine has 1 freshmen playing and 4 people in their 3/4/5th year. That's not young. You could say depth is an issue because they should all be back ups.
They should all be back ups in the Sun Belt or SWAC, not SEC.
Clapp might get some playing time, maybe even start at Guard for another SEC team.
Nobody else even close.
That's it in a nutshell.
You combine non-SEC talent with inferior/questionable position coaching and this is what you get.
A few on here get it, but many don't. (In regards to Offensive Line)
It's not about individual size and strength. Star ratings/rankings don't mean jack in OL. It's about having 5 that can mesh together, understand their reads and carry out their assignments.
We aint even close. SEC meat gonna be scary indeed. Just wait. I can see it coming.

But, based on talent ON THE 2017 roster, and not magically claiming he would have much better lines and depth....How many wins would be expected?
Well, he had better talent on both lines in his first year at Alabama in 2007 and he went 7-6 with a loss to UL-Monroe.

I'm not claiming that the OL is highly talented. The current O-excuse narrative is that the OL is young and needs time. Well, I'm sorry to report that the entire OL is not young, and the upperclassmen are getting beat just as much as the freshmen. The OL problems have been building for some time and, in my opinion, fall flat on Grimes. He need to go and go quickly. This OL does have youth and it does have some talent. But the fact is that is has stunk. The reason is not wholly that it's young. That was the premise of the post that I commented on. READ!

Lots of coaches could.
We still have more talent than 90% of CFB teams despite the injuries.
There are MANY ways, especially on offense, that you can "shield" this weakness.
But we don't. We aren't creative. And if you think our head coach can contribute to that knowledge, you are kidding yourself.
