How have we not heard about a shuffle in the ranks of o-line coaching yet?

Forget about OC for now. Gotta cut off the infected leg first

Apparently his contract is through January and the new OC will have a say in his staff

He's staying. Hopefully our OL won't look as bad as it did this year next year

What do you know about playing on the OL or coaching the OL?

What is it specifically that you don't like about our OL coach?!

Here is how one of our Commits views him:



You probably really don't know much about the OL other than watching a game and seeing some mistakes in assignments.

What about the coaching do you feel led to having to replace your returning starting OC that got Mono? Curious what about the coaching led two projected starters on the OLine to take a medical retirement... guys that were injured when the current OL coach arrived on campus.

Compare the fact we had 12 years experience with our OL+TE to any of the Top 10 teams. TCU was at about 24, maybe 26 years. Of the 6, we had 1 player with 3 yrs of college most of the Top 10 teams had 4 or more.

HTH.

You make a couple of decent points. But the average fan doesn't pretend to be a coaching expert if the results are good. Jimbo has made himself an easy target (not saying he actually cares) due to his incompetence in 2022 with a multitude of issues.

Yes this is the zoo but I think most of us would just like to sit back and watch a good product and not feel the need to constantly second guess.

The o-line was completely out of sorts in every single game this season except for the first and the last.

-Bad, inconsistent snaps, even when Bryce was on the line
-Line that could never establish rhythm
-Consistently lost the line of scrimmage against significantly less talented o-lines
-Sluggish, couldn't open up lanes for our RBs
-Outmanned by weak DLs and couldn't protect QBs

O-line was a ****ing joke this year. Not all of that can be blamed on injuries and raw talent.
It was horrendous this year and that falls on the OL coach.

We were horrible against Sam houston, so only the last game

If someone wants to call a position coach out, they should have some justification for their position.

I don't know if he is good or bad. He was hired Jan 21st 2022 and had about 6-7 months until the season started. He inherited every player. NSD had passed.

He lost Matthews (2018) and Chibuzo in the Spring.

Chibuzo (6'4"/350 in HS) was added by Jim Turner in the 2020 season and I think there was always questions about his size and health.

Then, we lost 3 more early in the season.

So, maybe we should give him a season of recruiting and coaching before calling for his termination.

Who knows... maybe we're in the process of hiring an OL coach and promoting Adazzio to OC.

From his 12thman Bio:
Quote:

An offensive line coach by trade, Addazio is considered one of the nation's best teachers of the position in addition to being one of the nation's top recruiters. In 2010, Addazio was honored by ESPN.com as the nation's No. 1 recruiter as he helped put together a pair of recruiting classes in 2009 and 2010 that ranked in the top-5 nationally, including the nation's best class in 2010.

Previously, he spent three years as an offensive coordinator, two at Florida when the Gators won two BCS national championships. In 2010, Florida ranked 10th nationally in scoring offense, sixth in total offense. He also served as Indiana's offensive coordinator in 2004.

There's virtually no condition that a fan isn't inclined to second guess. As for coaching experts on Texags, all the *****ing about the "play callin" convinces me that there are many.

I'd give him another year to see improvement but that'll be up to the oc. He was dealt a ton of issues which directly contributed to the offense dysfunction. As the line goes, so goes your offense. If a new OC doesn't trust him then he will undoubtedly make change.

Everything you describe is what you get by young players and goes away with experience. Compare the experience to our OLine and every other Top 10 team. I've done it. We have 1 of the 6 player (OL+TE) in his 3rd year of college. Every other school has 3-4+.

Take TCU: RS Jr (4yrs), RS Sr (5yrs), RS Sr (5yrs), RS Sr (5yrs), RS Jr (4yrs), Sr (4yrs). That's 27 years of college.
We had: RS Fr (2yrs), Fr (1yrs), RS Fr (2yrs), RS Jr (4yrs), So (2yrs), Fr (1yrs). That's 12 years of college, counting this year.

Then consider their QB was a Sr and ours was a Freshman.

You might say Bryce regressed and was horrible.

I look at it as a gutsy player who had mono and was injured and fighting through a knee injury. Yes, he struggled to snap the ball trying to work through a knee injury that ultimately shut him down for the season.

Robinson and Featheree were the only guys who played consistently during the season. Show me a team with a true freshman at TE and LG and I'll show you problems in an Offense.

Were the problems coaching, personnel, or experience?! I haven't seen enough to say it is coaching. Personnel looked capable at times.

We'll bring back Foster, Aki, and Moko who will all have 3+ years of college. Give me another season and we'll see if there is a problem.

Well if we ever have a really good season again we can compare. I'm really not sure about the particulars with Addazio and I have not commented on him other than noticing the unit was a disaster.

Fans are obviously not experts by any means with scheme. But most of the announcers who are employed who call our games are to a point. And when the SECN 4th team is questioning how simplistic and how easy we are to figure out…that's a problem.

I might be wrong but the last game was the 3rd game of the same 5 starters - prior to Umass there was a new lineup every week

This

And in that last game it all seemed to come together

I think continuity may be the key here

Have the sane starters all year next year under the same oline coach and I think you'll see a vastly improved unit

I don't believe that to be true unless things have changed substantively. He is a great OL coach. If he is still here, then I think that is great.

The piling on to try to fire Jimbo is so Texas A&M. Pile up donations instead…

Apologists out in force on this thread with the usual excuses. Fatheree and Robinson clearly regressed under the current OL coach versus the previous OL coach as did the overall OL performance. This was talked about extensively and to a ridiculous extreme throughout the season. One doesn't have to have played OL or coached OL to see it. HTH

Most of all of you coaching evaluators thought Jimbo was one of the top 5 coaches before the beginning of the year and spent all the time talking down anyone who pointed out the pretty obvious. Now, you've turned on Jimbo in the blink of the eye and are now OL experts. Just because you played on the 7th grade B-team, doesn't mean you know jack about coaching.

More worried about who OC is. The fact we have a lot if young OL willing to stay here and wait their turn reflects positively on Addazio. May piss a lot of people off but it is true.

Surely you have a clip or a link.

All I've heard this season is that Jimbo's Offense is so complex that few QBs can run the system. We heard how his Waffle House playlist was too much.

We were told Wiegman needed to be the QB and that Jimbo needed to simplify the playlist and trot him out there.

SO, which is it?! Are we so simple and easy to figure out that it is a problem? Or are we too complex that we need to simplify?!

There is a scene for Raising Arizona in there somewhere. Help me figure it out.

Our offense is very complicated for our players to run and execute but at the same time very simplistic and easy do defenses to game plan against.

Not 100% true. If executed properly it is very efficient and hard to stop but it is tough to execute.
