    I’m really hoping that sticking with Huff was for his P5 recruiting chops and because of Grubb being a longtime line coach. Grubb as OC, running KDBs offense and Huff as OL coach running and teaching Grubbs techniques and schemes. Each coach with limited real world experience/success and each with a successful mentor to lean on if things go sideways. Fingers crossed.

    A lot of guys that when you read their names and the reports on them, seem like good players. Jimmy Lake supposedly thought our OL was a strength.

    I think the talent is there, but Huff is a bad OL coach. He is getting another chance, but we have to make a change if they aren’t good. I think we already should have.

    They should've made a change. No doubt about it. I'm dooging that, by some miracle, it was all Pete's and Lake's schemes holding him back and he'll be born again competent this year.

    I heard someone on the radio a few weeks ago saying that the o-line was bad more due to the offensive schemes under Jimmy than whatever Huff did, and that Deboer would've fired Huff if he thought he sucked. Sounds like maximum dooging to me.

    Naw. OL having 2-3 foot splits against Montana like they're the 1988 SF 49ers is a OC/HC decision.

    All Jimmy did was watch NFL film and implemented Tecmo Bowl playbook. Reasoning was he had a group of NFL sized lineman and a simple playbook executed to perfection would be unstoppable. He was 81 plays away from lining up and running counter after counter with a draw thrown in for good measure and a smug grin as he was beating Bama in the playoffs....

    Jimmy played with two down lineman and five DB’s at all times, so his dumbass thought the Stanford offense was what works best and was toughest to defend.

    Two TE’s and running power works when the TE’s are Dissly and Sample. Both of those guys are great blockers and are two of the best blocking TE’s in the NFL. Even with those two, our offense wasn’t great.

    Otton had a reputation for being a good blocker but he never was. Hunter Bryant couldn’t block for shit. I doubt Culp or any of the others are anything special as blockers.
    Pete’s offense was shitty but at least he spread the field a little bit.

    The number of plays JohnDon ran with all 11 on one side of the field, or in tight formations with 10 guys between the hashes was ridiculous. They were basically just playing in a phone booth.

    There's a reason no one wanted to be Lake's OC. Everyone thought his offense was fucking stupid and refused the job.

    Lake had to ask our GA working with the TE to find the Assistant RB coach at Jacksonville. JonDon took the job for $850k because why the fuck not, his career was over. And the GA was promoted to TE coach because, again, no one respected Lake.
