    what does one converted player during one play have to do with the overall coaching ability of a position coach across 6+ years?

    The "lack of bodies" is directly related to recruiting not his coaching/teaching/development ability.
    Ok homie, false start was due to coaching. Corry should have not been in there in the first place, decision to play him at such a critical time was questionable.

    No one is fact checking this post and it's stated so matter-of-factly and has upvotes I guess I will respond.

    Indy gave up the least amount of sacks in the league...in 2018, then they hired Strausser this year and they were middle of the league. (18 sacks given up in 18, 32 in 2019). This is with Quentin 'potentially best guard in the past 20 years' Nelson and Costanzo on the left side.

    11th in the league in yards per rush. 7th total rush yards with the 5th most rush attempts.

    Strausser is a pretty good OL coach and 2016 is the best OL we've had in years. But as much as you like to pooh-pooh recruiting, the formula for winning natties has been face-slappingly obvious pretty much the whole decade: you need top tier talent to get over the hump. Strausser was failing hard here in recruiting and needed to go.
    I read it wrong and they were talking about last year. One OL doesn’t make a group good either. Here was my initial link.

    Strausser was way better than Huff. I don’t poo poo recruiting, but we are always pretty much at the same level and have been for awhile. We are 15th-25th typically in recruiting. The next OL that plays above their level will be Huff’s first. I don’t remember the OL being so frequently confused with Strausser. They were mostly younger too.

    I’ve always said the recruiting rankings are a chicken and egg thing. The players offered by the top schools get bumped up. Until we get elite players instead did mid 4 star guys, coaching will be more important.

    Huff killed it this year in recruiting. The other OL classes were okay and we’ll find out, but I think they will end up being overrated, especially last year’s after Fautanu.

    I for one am waiting for a dominant fucking oline that kicks the shit out of the other team... No more waiting, no more youth excuses.

    Lake said on kjr Huff is the best in the country. Prove it this year. If talent is King then they should should kick ass. We shall see.

    See you at the kick-ass spring game.
