AU_Tiger_88 416 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Not too long ago some people on the board were calling for him to be fired. My how things change. He is a good teacher given time. He may not be the best recruiter. I have seen improvement from last year and hope it continues. This and next year will be the test. Need to get some of the backups some playing time this year to be ready in case of injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 4 months to establish the attitude/mindset and refine the technique required. I am hopeful we continue to grow towards a dominant OL.

I'm told the OL is improved. But it's not as good as people are letting on. This is per ex-AU players and people who have been to practice.

OK. What was wrong that people said and need to own up to? Grimes? He did a ok job last year. Just ok. The OL is better than last year at this time. Great, still has a long way to go.

I have no idea if the line is better than last year . I hope they are . They better be or another long year awaits this is why i brought it up for discussion. we always have folks that claim one thing or another and often the remarks made are often made based on if they like the coach or not. and yes i admit i really like coach grimes and wanted to show him some love but i also am someone who likes the truth. we got guys that charge money for their insider stuff and they claim the o line is a strength. if this is the case why do some of these cats still have a job? and we have ex players and coaches who seem to claim otherwise but we never know exactly who they are and if they are shooting straight or if THEY have an axe to grind. and this is by no means a shot at wde as i follow him on here and i have never seen him throw out a bunch of lies. but it is frustrating too often trying to get the truth. and i am waiting for someone to say the truth is in the middle.........shrugs.

Not many O-Linemen on any team slow down Mr. Brown. I am not disagreeing with you but holding their own against the Auburn D-Line is an accomplishment. That said it was a vanilla defense so the O-Line assignments were vanilla. The true test is when they are able to adjust what a stunting defense throws at them. I like thre progress I saw but I need to see what they do against Oregon and LSU before I will say they are a solid O-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, everyone should probably just decide for themselves what they want to believe. For example, I choose to believe @bigbird when he provides exact quotes and attributes them to "former coaches and players". If you choose not to, then I'm guessing that Bird really couldn't care less. I'm curious, though, what the reaction would be if these anonymous comments were positive in nature. I wonder if they'd be held to the same, strict "rumor and gossip" standards. Also, these are just observations and opinions. Who cares who said them?

My info came from some ex-AU players, one was a multi year OL starter and some high school coaches across Alabama. All have said the OL was better. All. But just not as good as what is being said.
