Post season thoughts

I expect an OL coach not to be asked back.

Ohio St's OL is huge

And so is UGA. I was a supporter of Milroe during the first half of the season when he was fairly productive and quickly saw I was wrong. With that being said, he is gone and we may want to move on.........

Inside info or your opinion?

My hope, no inside info

I think we missed on a lot of kids in the trenches. Need that mean streak.

Only so much a coach can do. Maybe there’s one out there that can bring the mean out of them.

Our 2025 OL recruiting class is one of if not the best in the nation.

They’ve all been lately. Either the system is not identifying good players, or the coaching isn’t bringing it out of them.

I think you meant "perennial."

If QB play and offensive production do not pick up we will only be perianal contenders!!

How much worse will these past two seasons sting if Simpson is a Heisman candidate next season with an SEC and national championship. Knowing not only did our offense struggle with Milroe but we had the answer to our struggles riding the bench.

Winning 11 games and a possible SEC Championship and getting into the playoffs with Simpson would be a great improvement

They won't sting any worse. The two seasons were totally wasted.

Milroe was pretty fast, straight line runs, but when he tried to cut, it was all over. He couldn't read the field.

That Arizona State QB
was running all over the place, buying lots of time. All Milroe had to do was be like the Notre Dame QB. Just take what they give you, when they give it. We would have held on to the ball a whole lot more than we did.

They are huge, but they still know how to move around, Some of our guys need to drop 25 pounds or so. It would definitely help their agility.

But that wouldn't allow him to do Hero Ball

I know the weights on the roster aren't always 100% correct, but using those, the only guy who is probably way to heavy is Proctor at 369. Formby is 324, alinen 335, Roberts just 310, GVDM is 333 and Pritchett is 327 and Booker is 325. PB still needs a few more biscuits at just 290. Mostly ok in the weight range, so likely just need to work on the explosive power to increase quickness and footwork

I suspect if the story ever comes out about this season, it will be that coach Deboer was told that the leader of the team was Milroe and he went to Milroe and said "You help me keep this roster together and stop a stampede for the door and I will guarantee you the starting quarterback job for as long as you want it in 2024."
Then, with poor performance on the field at times, Coach Deboer had a choice between going back on his word (and the word would've gone around the team and to all future recruits that Coach Deboer cannot be trusted) or just riding the horse that had brought him this far and hoping for the best through the season. That decision tanked the season and cost the team a lot of good players that hit the portal last month, but it maintained his reputation for integrity in subsequent years.

In hind sight the stampede for the door sorta happened anyway, it happened on the back end instead of the front end , moral of the story is don't entangle with players when it comes to doing your job .

I get you say that, but, keep in mind It was his first year, some of these guys had a lot of bad habits and most importantly, Coach Kap is the #1 ranked recruiter on 247 rankings. At least give him a year with a conventional QB.
