Problem with us as fans is Pendry becomes the standard.
didnt they go a whole year without one holding penalty? Who has ever done that?
CMC is a very good coach IMO & we are lucky to have him.
Mario Cristobal : how would you grade him?

Serious question for those who know OL play. Is it possible to get where we are today, in the SEC West, with consistent, C level OL play? I`m assuming for argument`s sake that our overall OL play this year has been "average".
My bad . My timeline was off thinking he was there a couple of years , not months . In all honesty , I had even thought he was one AC's under the scope of the NCAA during the Shapiro fiasco . I needed to check my failing memory :redface:
I recall reading that CMC teaches all positions on the line to each player. So, I would expect the development be a little slower for the guys in the short term/early to mid season and the end of the year to be where the line gels and starts to make it's mark as a solid unit. Coupling in all of the injuries and the difficulty in getting a RG, I think CMC is doing a B+ job up to now. I'm not in the know, but I feel there's been a larger emphasis on passing this year (for reasons I don't know), and the passing emphasis has to affect the running game's blocking.
^^ Or maybe there is an increased emphasis on passing because our staff thought it unlikely for us to be able to run well consistently. Not that I personally like it, but they probably saw it earlier than us.

Cristobal was named national recruiter of the year.

This best describes my thoughts with one addition I'm really Glad, Happy, Excited, we have him, A ot of teams would love to have this guy coaching for them but it's the opportunity to learn from CNS that keeps him here I think. He is Great to watch on the sidelines during games. The line is getting better every year, we just gotta understand we keep losing our best to the NFL..
Now that the season is over, I think CMC did a great job. The biggest gripe most people have had since the playoff game is that we didn't continue running ball. The O-line took over in the 4th quarter of several games late this year and I believe we could have against OSU.
I think the O-line will continue to improve this year. Talent will not be an issue for the foreseeable future.

So glad I am a member of this board of experts. I think the O line over-performed this year, Cristobal did a heck of a job as a recruiter, and our head coach is quite adept at evaluating coaching talent as well as player talent. Roll Tide...and trust CNS.
I can honestly say He gets B-... only because we've had issues with run game at times... we've had hit and miss throughout the year, but I'm happy with him.
Nobody ever questioned his recruiting...A to A+ over the body of time at Alabama. Obvious A+ for the 2015 signing class.
Unproven as a coach. For every positive, there seems to be a shortcoming.
Not knowing more about the game than I do, I can't say if the problems have been talent (to a great degree remedied by Cristobal himself), playcalling, offensive philosophy, comparisons to two of the greatest OLs in college football history, or comparison against the master, Joe Pendry.
He has talent to work with, and this is his third season on campus. We'll find out about the coaching this year.
