dyehardfanAU 2,117 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 What position coaches do we need to replace? Is Porter worth his spot? What does Woodson do on the recruiting trail for us? We need some upgrades in both coaching ability but more importantly recruiting ability. The next few years are going to be poor to middling across both lines because of the last 3-5 classes neglecting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I'd say Kodi, JB as position coaches. And yes, Gus also needs to be replaced. 2020 will be a rebuilding on both sizes of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBiGGiE 2,488 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Explain to me why Kodi Burns needs to be replaced? Why is it his fault if MALZAHN'S offense is built on go-routes and slip screens? Don't get me wrong, the passing game is well past due for an upgrade, but that's on the scheme - not the position group. Grimes, while I do believe he didn't have much to work with to start, I have lost trust in his ability to develop. I have seen little to no improvement in our O-Line in two years. There's no reason why Minnesota should be able to consistently get pressure on our heavy protection packages while only rushing 4. That's supposed to be OUR M/O. Meanwhile flipping Wisconsin was able to carve Minnesota's Defense up... On the ground... In a blizzard... Oh and heisman hopeful Johnathan Taylor was having a less-than-average day. Answering your other questions though, Porter and Woodson have been pivotal on the recruiting trail. Special teams took a bit of a dip this year, and there's not much to say about H-backs and Tight-ends. Our secondary has been pretty solid this year, I thought at the start of the season they'd get picked on the most. I think they stay unless the get poached... The coaching carousel isn't done spinning just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coaching carousel isn't done spinning just yet. Watch the WRs when the QB scrambles. They either stand around or try to block. Canella broke that mold today with his TD. He had stopped and when he saw Bo scramble, he headed up field. That should be the rule, not the exception. But when your coach never did it, I reckon he doesn’t know how to coach it.

I don't think of crisp routes and playmakers when I think of AU WRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whom did he learn it from, and what does he actually know about running routes, and passing game concepts. I think then you'll have an answer to your question.

I think the recruiter rankings on 247 are a little suspect. E could tell you better than I, but he's mentioned several players who were actually recruited by coaches other than the ones listed.

Recruiting services' rankings of coaches are mostly useless. It's too hard to quantify which coaches are doing what. Porter and Woodson are beasts in recruiting. Woodson's a stud position coach, too. Impossible to tell with Porter as long as he's working for Gus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know 4star CB Eric Reed, 4star DB Zion Puckett and ANY player AU has landed from Mississippi in the last few cycles, Woodson has been a big part in.

A guy who was fumble prone before he came? he cant control who Gus chooses to put out there at RB And you heard that stat from the game earlier...that stat wasn't exclusively RBs. Bo has had quite a few himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
