I didn’t bump a statistical fact. I bumped a discussion thread.Is there a reason you are bumping this statistical fact? If so, please explain.
As for this year’s OL, I’m not worried about the talent. We’ve recruited pretty well there the last three years. The concern is experience: one junior, two sophomores and two freshmen.
A premise of some in the discussion I bumped was that our OL talent was fine, and a better coach would immediately make a night and day difference (we all know better coaching matters, this is about whether there are talent issues that hold us back as well).
The discussion seems relevant, as we have an entirely new offensive staff, new S&C staff, and yet hear consistent reports of continued OL struggles, even to the extent Enos is quite frustrated by the OL challenges and they may impact his OC decisions.
So what is going on? Maybe Enos, Barry et al are similarly as incompetent as Richt and Searels when it comes to OL coaching, or maybe we really do have depth and talent issues on the OL (in addition to our prior staff coaching failures). Those are important questions to consider as we look ahead to the season, so this thread seemed very much relevant to the ongoing discussion. Wouldn’t you agree?
