Quarterback

I saw enough tonight to assure myself that had Jimbo made the correct decision on who the starting QB should be at the start of the year this team would be 3-0 right now.

The difference in the on field presence and decision making between Johnson and King is so significant that a blind man could have seen it.

One has to wonder how much further along both Johnson and the team would be had he been given those two additional starts.

Fisher does a much better job of recruiting, hiring coaches and being the face of the brand.
He also assesses talent well at every position EXCEPT the position that he has placed himself in charge of coaching.

That along with his, at best, mediocre play calling is what makes him a very average offensive coach.

This off season He Needs to pull his head out and go hire an innovative offensive coordinator.
I am sick of seeing this team struggle offensively every damn season.

State of the Program

Positives

1. Wealthiest AD in the country
2. Largest stadium in the SEC
3. Vibrant fan base
4. Leaders in the NIL game
5. Top ranked recruiting class

Negatives

1. Started in the Top 6 the past two years and promptly fell out
2. 3-4 in year 5 with our current coach, with 10 years to go on his contract
3. Yet to score more than 24 points against an FBS team
4. Coaching staff who is completely ineffective.

There better be major changes to the coaching staff and schemes next year. If Jimbo does not make changes there needs to be a serious discussion about changing the head coach out.

Under Jimbo the team is routinely under prepared both strategically and tactically. Jimbo will have to change to survive past 2023.

Unpopular opinion

Not in our top 10 issues but…
Achane is not a great RB and will never make it in the NFL. He goes down crazy easy and pauses too long when he cuts. I know his yards per carry are high but you have to have some power and he has none.
…no he is not our problem
…yes our OL sucks donkey balls
flame away.

Recruiter vs scheme coaches

I have thought about this for a couple years now. We know all of our coaches are great recruiters but how good of an X and 0 coaches are they? We put to much emphasis on recruiting and not development. I believe Durkin knows scheme, yes he adjusted from a 3 man front, but our position coaches are great recruiters but horrible technical coaches.

Offense is a cluster F and I don’t even know where to begin. OL is gawd awful and can’t pick up a middle blitz. Running scheme is horrible, Achane just put athletes you. Passing game is worst. No rub routes, no mesh plays. On the 2 point conversion Stewart just out athlete on a wiggle route(Cole Beasley route) to cause separation.

Im still a firm believer in Fisher as a CEO but until we refocus on the type of position coaches and coordinators we will never be successful.

Achane to Receiver Full Time?

Don't get me wrong, Achane is a very good back and is very explosive if you get him behind the right offensive line. If Devon wants to play at the next level, what would give him the best chance to succeed? Being beat up running the ball or get his explosiveness in the open field after the catch? Move him all around the field as a lethal threat or a decoy. Run LJ as a power back on the majority of the carries with Amari as a change of speed. Incorporate the I-formation in our offensive looks along with the spread. Devon is a quiet guy that doesn't show a lot of emotion but it just looks like he is getting tired of getting the hell beat out of him. You can see it in his shoulders.

I’m done being rational

I’ve tried. I’ve tried to be reasonable. I’ve tried to think an OC could turn this around. The fact that Jimbo can’t see the glaring deficiencies that so clearly stare him in the face. The fact that he can’t, in all his so called wisdom, adjust his game plan to a simpler offense. The fact that his OL hire has, with an unlimited budget, has been dog shit.

He’s an outstanding recruiter. But I don’t see how he keeps this freshman class intact plus hold on to to TJ, Hicks, and Hill.

This program is taking a massive step in the wrong direction, and unfortunately, that is not an overreaction

This year was supposed to be the stepping stone to next season. Well, next season may be dead on arrival. And so it continues.

4th Quarter Scoring…

Read on if you dare:

Vs App St - 0 points in 4th quarter
Vs Miami - 0 points in 4th quarter
Vs Arky - 0 points in 4th Quarter
@ Bama - 3 points in 4th quarter
@ SCar - 0 points in 4th quarter

I didn’t look at Sam because it’s Sam and therefore not statistically relevant

we scored 2 TD’s in 4th vs Miss St but is argued 1 if not both came after the game was clearly over.

This fun!

Laughing, but we are the example of a massive collision. These guys have been tought to not follow through on plays.
Take plays off if hussel is required. Then run the expected, but not expected plays,,,because they know the expected play- play…..

so done
