Ensminger C we were very average and lacked creativity.

Aranda B+ Because our defense kept us within striking distance of every team. The Bama score at the half was 13 points. If only we could’ve scored points on offense the game may have looked different

Orgeron C+ He didn’t do horrible as a head coach but I think hiring Ensminger was the kind of decision an average coach would make. There were a few decisions I think he could’ve made that would’ve changed the trajectory of our season. But overall he wasn’t the worst and him making boneheaded calls didn’t cost us games (see Kirby Smart vs. Bama or even vs LSU)

The only thing that keeps Ensminger at a C level is the offensive line injuries, and suspensions.


I disagree but you put my reason for them being at a C level at the end of your statement


I agree with Tiger Tracker. It wasn't personnel issues that dropped each coordinator a letter grade for me. It was playcalling.

There were times Aranda went too conservative with pressure. For Ensmingers, every game except for Georgia had multiple stretches where his sequences went to utter shite. It was like he had no clue what to call to attack the defense, and it would last for 2-3 possessions, sometimes more.

Aranda and Orgeron get a B from me.

Ensminger a D-, but he's very close to getting an F. Guy just stinks. Not an OC anywhere.

There is an argument to be made. It’s just not a very good one. There is one though. I agree with that.

Wouldn’t this translate to the offense being ranked somewhere between 60-80 in the country?

Defensive coaches b+
Hurt by poor line play

Offensive Coaches c-
Hurt by poor line play, erratic play calling

Head coach D hurt by poor choice of OC, poor line play, poor line recruiting

AD F for lying, lazy efforts at coaching searching

BOS, FFF, for being the same useless political hacks they always have been with the exception of when they hired Mark Emmert, which once we were successful, they promptly fkd up by getting back involved and forcing the skip to AD move, which led to Emmert leaving and the beginning of the DECLINE...

That should be a D- and thats being generous
Two years in a row, we laid an egg on offense against the Gumps.
He should not have a job because of that alone.

Aranda=A-
He had to deal with an offense that played with no rhyme or reason.
He led the sec in takeaways.
Was top 10 in ints per game.
Before the a&m gane was top scoring defense.
He did all this while losing his best pass rusher and having a front 3 that rarely held up their end of the bargain.
Wouldve liked to see the defense play better between the 20's.
Ensminger=D+

The offense was god awful all year except against UGA and Ole Miss.
Folks can harp on lack of talent all they want but when Southeastern shuts us completely down for an entire half and holds us to 3 1st downs ,its scheme.
We were horrible in red zone tds.
The max protect 2 wrs formation is an outdated philosophy. While most teams are spreading you out and making you pay for blitzing with hit routes, we think its better to bring more defenders to the los and limit the targets our qb has.
The oline struggled and Ensminger never moved the pocket all year.
The one saving grace was Burrow and Tracy.

O=C+

Can be bumped up to B with a bowl win here. Bringing in Burrow and Tracy literally changed our season. Id hate to think where we would be without those 2. He has a solid class coming in this year and i think he held serve to where my preseason prediction was. Next year is the no excuse year. Hopefully the offense starts to produce.

Not only that....
Think how many games cole tracy won for us. Our redzone td scoring was atrocious. Our run game, for the 1st time since 2009, was not respected around the league.

Aranda - B-
He did well. A little less than I expected going into the season but Chaisson was a big loss.
If Fulton would have remained ineligible this defense would have had issues.
The DLine has been extremely underwhelming, but I blame O, Meatball, and the lack of any significant edge threats more than Aranda.

Ensminger - D
We're last or close to last in nearly every category. The offensive line was a handicap, but I didn't see any indication that he tried to scheme around that. Can you imagine E scoring any points if Brennan were under center and Tracy hadn't transferred here? I think E should go.. Now. But I can see why another year would be granted. If the same thing happens next year.. and O calls the offense "good" or anything similar and doesn't immediately replace E with someone qualified. I will absolutely lose my shite.

O - C
O is all over the map IMO. Recruiting mistepps with Surtain and cornerbacks in the last cycle. But he did very well in acquiring Tracy and Burrow in the offseason. The W-L exceeded expectations, but I have absolutely no idea how much of that we can attribute to O. Even then there is a very real possibility that he could miss the 10 win mark again. If we lose to UCF.. He fails to replace E.. and he misses on Sopsher I give him an F. If he reaches 10 wins and accomplishes one of the other goals.. I give him a B. But that is only on the Orgeron scale. There are multiple weaknesses on this team and staff that someone like Saban wouldn't let go unaddressed over the summer, but I don't expect O to identify/rectify many of them.. And since that is the case.. wtf is the point of grading him.

Aranda - A

Defense was legit as always and only suffered due to always being on the field.

Ensminger - F

Running game sucked, passing game sucked, blocking sucked... they couldn’t do diddly poo. If it weren’t for 7 OTs the offense ranks in the 100s.

McMahon - B-

Took a group that has struggled for some years and made them respectable. Outside of punt returns, which I’m sure was dictated by O, the special teams units were a pleasant surprise.

Orgeron - C-

Hardest grade to give out.

Does he really do anything other than speak unintelligibly? His specialty, d-line, was average at best and he deserves his fair share of the blame for the anemic offense.
