All NIL should go to buying O-Line

[squib]

Not that I have given a dime, but if I knew for sure it would go to buying an O-Line, I would send in $5.76

 

[Joefus]

I got $20 on a LT

Ha! I am not a rich man by any stretch but I would chip in $500 on that! I would justify it as a medical expense for preemptive heart problems.

I not sure that would be where I spent the money. I see a lot of holes in how we scheme the running game. Also in how the linemen are taught to block (mechanics). We can always use a great tackle or guard, but a new line coach may be the wiser investment

 

[Elefantman]

I got a great idea. To help with getting the O line some NIL money, let's bring back LANK.

I'll see myself out the door.

We need better coaching there, period. We need more cohesive play calling as well.

 

[JDCrimson]

It just seems there is a darth of OL coaching talent nowadays. There only a handful of coaches who are actually good at it.

Shula got fired as OC largely because the USCe OL was utterly pathetic. You cant run much of any offense behind a line like that.

It is strange. Bama recruits well-regarded o-linemen out of high school. Bama has an o-line coach that is well regarded. Despite that, 1+1 seems to equal -5. And this stretches back to the Saban Era, so coaches and scheme have changed, but still good o-linemen seem to massively underachieve.

I got 18 bucks on a center that can reliably snap

Our linemen have been getting pushed around since Cochran left.

Rhea/Ballou cut down on injuries, sure, but our big guys lost the ability to impose their will.

S&C definitely need to be looked at.

I'd take tackles. Period. We can do more with the guys we have and plenty of them can play guard or center.

Yes, not sure Sam wants to coach at the position level and surely Kirby has already made overtures if he is.

Yea, I will leave that to the HC. If I am paying I'd rather it go to Jimmies and Joes that have the raw talent. Bucket step Bob may screw them up but any other coach worth his salt can coach NFL level talent.

I see kids doing that stupid index finger-middle finger "L" for "LANK" and it strikes me the same way it would if French soldiers had a recruiting poster that said, "Woo-hoo 1940, baby!"
LANK was from the darkest days in Alabama football history since 2006.

 

[Cruloc]

Need a new OL coach and spend NIL money on OL and DL.

Texas Tech spent a lot on their DL and it shows
