Problem with OL is they have to be a complete unit. Does no good to have a stud if he has a wet paper bag next to him
Maybe I read in too much, but he intentionally made an unqualified and potentially misleading comparison with Alabama for the purpose of starting a discussion. I bit on the discussion. Maybe I’m projecting also because I have been having a form of this discussion on these boards since the Coker era, with D$ himself from time to time.I didn’t see that suggestion in the OP. All I saw was a factual list. Then, I saw his explanation that UM fans mistakenly blame the OL talent too much for our offensive woes. He’s right.
You then read too much into his point in order to create something to argue with him about. You made some good points in your dissertations, but everyone pretty much agrees that we don’t have “elite” talent on the level of Alabaga across the board. No one is saying we do.
Kehoe was part of the problem since Coker. Let him and Swasey be memories. Do not try to resurrect a myth here.
real talk @Ethnicsands u been probably one of the best posters here recently always coming with truth man, sometimes I think I fall into slurping and yo *** brings me right back because what u say is true and the truth will shut my *** up 9 out of 10 times.

You sound emotional and triggered. You don’t know why I think what I think, so all you’re doing is telling us what you feel, which is an illogical attachment to Kehoe. You guys can make each other breakfast for all I care. But we are not going to agree on his performance as OL corch. And I could not care less whether you tale my posts seriously. It’s pribably better that you don’t, because you sound like someone who struggles to discuss other people’s views.No he wasn’t...you’re just running your mouth bc that’s GROUP THINK conclusion for this board & this board alone...when you get your own mind & formulate something that isn’t group think..I’ll take your posts more serious.

For me...
Kehoe > Searals
Swasey > Felder
... FWIW
I'm excited to see how the new coaches do.
No he wasn’t..you’re just talking out of your a$$
Are you just trolling or do you seriously not remember our dumpster fire o-line play during Art's last run here?
Have a great Sunday guy.
Do you think kehoe was a better OL coach han stoutland?
i only had a semi, does that count?No he’s not..y’all just happen to agree so you get a hard on for what he says.
He’s clueless
Stout is way better periodCompare the resume's and that'll give you your answer!
I disagree. He suggested just that in the OP.
Let’s not kid each other. This debate has been going on since ‘03. There is a contingent of fan who thinks any criticism of talent diminishes criticism of coaching, and hence try to attack those who point out talent issues for apostasy to the church of coaching failure.
It’s insane and always has been. Low blood pressure and cardiac arrest go together the way ** coaches go with ** talent evals and acquisitions.
But you can’t blame others for the thread. The OP plainly suggested UM is on a par with Alabama on OL talent the past two decades. When someone defends the truth of that suggestion, it’ll be interesting. Until then, all I see is spin and retreat by folks who realize they overplayed their hand.
For the 100000th time, bad coaches tend to suck at many aspects of coaching, and ours surely did. None of Clappy, Radio, Gluten nor Pricht was good at roster management or recruiting process, planning, evals, recruiting or closing. They also sucked at bringing in talented staff. And scheme, game plan and play calling. S&C sucked. It sll sucked.
You posted a ‘fact’ without comment, that suggested equivalence with Alabama on OL talent. There was no other logical interpretation of that ‘fact.’ It’s cool, i think it’s funny, that’s what these sites are for. But let’s not pretend you didnt troll that out there.Nobody said we had Bama talent. That’s a straw man.
I’m just posting facts. To the extent I’m “suggesting” anything, it’s what the numbers make plain: we are wasting colossal amounts of talent. Including on the OL.
Interesting
How many NFLers do we have right now? I’m not hating, I think there’s some interesting cases.
Hope we learn a lot. Donaldson only gets hype and excuses because of his star ranking so hopefully this year we see him make a big jump.
We definitely have some talent but we just haven’t seen enough from the yet. Scaife looks like he could be really really good despite some (expected) struggles last year
Stout is way better period
Just stopOk, show us the proof!
