I'm not sure you can say anything about the linehan hire.a passing game coordinator isnt a job that's easily assessed normally. Last year was a special circumstance because he was basically a co offensive coordinator.

Now, if linehan is the one calling 3rd down and redzone ,then he hasnt stood out in a positive way. But,unless we know exactly what the guys job specifically entails, well, I think it's hard to grade him. Tough to grade when you dont know what the test is .

Let's also remember, its hard to judge ensminger or linehan negatively when they have to simplify the offense and protect the qb from himself.
Plus ur going into the season preparing for Myles and now all that work is useless because we dont have a qb that can get through progressions fast enough and still be accurate.

I think ensminger has done a decent to good job ,gameplan wise ,whenever we are able to run the ball. He definitely has his moments where hes incredible and then some wtf moments

After last year, I’ll give O a mulligan on this one. My primary concern is losing a few big recruits that we really need. That, and whether or not O can re-establish the culture he created or whether he has lost the team for good.

Coach O is becoming the second coming of Les. As long as we are winning they are lovable goofballs whom everyone likes. But when we start losing, they are shown to be poor coaches who don't really belong at the top tier. O has not done what he promised. Half of his hiring choices have been dismal. But he also meddles in their plans when he said he knew that was not his strength.

His supposed strengths of motivation and recruiting are now highly suspect as well. He has lost the loyalty of his team over stupid remarks in the press. If you add up all the opt outs (quitters), lost recruits and what will undoubtedly be a lot of transfers at season's end, we are going to be short in personnel next year also.

As someone pointed out, there is a simple reason Alabama and Saban have dominated us. It is recruiting pure and simple. Saban kills O in the area he is supposed to be best at. Alabama's offensive line is always a factor of two or three times better than ours. The main reason we beat them last year, was them making too many mistakes and oh yeah we had a guy called Burrow back there who could escape when our off. line let those rushers through.

So yeah this year is a disaster in so many ways and the covid did have a lot to do with it but everyone else had the same problems from that. But how you think next year will be any better is beyond me.
