    I was right about Huff

    Huff has inverted himself. Now he's a good OL coach but shit recruiter

    $1.4 million buys a five-star tackle these days, so I'm told.

    Our Heisman mentioned proven CFB QB has a $20,000ish T-shirt deal and earns $175 a pop for on-air exclusives with Softy.

    Landing nasty athletic 3-star big bodies and the occasional 4 is the ceiling right now. Shepherd, probably our? best recruiter faces similar difficulties.

    Doog excuses, some will say over several posts, again and again. Ask 2-loss Nick Saban how NIL is treating Bama these days.

    Bama in the playoff picture every single year. They might miss a year here and there (they likely play a couple too 5 opponents every year) but my guess is Saban is fine with his NIL program.

    Saban will do fine during NIL. Jimbo not so much.

    Every single year except a year here and there. Got it.

    "We didn't buy one player," Saban said. "I don't know if we're going to be able to sustain that in the future because more and more people are doing it."

    Color me shocked that Huff has done a good job this year. I'm not complaining. They have to figure out something though because they're not signing guys the level of Fautanu and Rosengarten and those two won't be around forever.

    The offenses biggest task in the offseason will be figuring out how to get 1-2 yards when they need it, especially on the goal line. It was a big struggle for the Leach Cougs too.

    Keeping Huff is an embrace of mediocrity

    His track record doesn't disappear because we have a great QB and scheme

    Still can't gain a yard

    Recruiting the O line is the biggest crap shoot of any position. Connerly should be here simply because its Rainer Beach but some no name 3 star could be developed into an all american. Happens all the time

    It's not like this is is first year here or that we haven't been able to gain a yard since 2018

    Because I'm right

    And you don't have a counter argument other than hey he doesn't suck THIS year even though he does

    That's 55th which is in the middle which is mediocre. Not sucks

    Don't have a ranking on TD percentage but it's not good

    Mediocre

    Recency bias is no way to evaluate performance

    The OL has played great. Teams haven’t gotten to Penix often. I read somewhere that our RB’s are near the bottom of the country in terms of exceeding expected yards per carry. We all know the RB’s aren’t anything special, but it’s telling. Our run game is not abysmal.

    Part of that is because Penix and the passing game is so dangerous, but it’s also because the OL is doing a good job. I hated Huff being retained, but it has worked out just fine.

    During the Oregon game they mentioned Washington was last in the conference at broken tackles per carry.

    Don't quote me but it was like 0.18 which is awful.

    You don’t like Huff, which is well deserved. I’ve never really been a fan either. The OL got worse when he took over from Strausser.

    This stat doesn’t prove much. We are scoring TD’s in the red zone at the same percentage as Bama (66%). We are 3% behind the #1 team on this list, Georgia. I think we can all agree that an actually good RB would help us. The RB’s are the weakest part of our offense.

    Huff recruited the OL, they have been much improved, and if you look at the depth chart, the OL should continue to be good.

    We haven’t converted a couple of short yardage opportunities, which is frustrating, but both the eye test and stats have shown the OL has played very well.

    It’s worked out so far. I wouldn’t be worried if Huff left or got fired, but results are results.

    Alabama wants to fire Bill O Brian. Red zone has cost them two losses

    Saying that keeping Huff is embracing mediocrity is generous

    There's a body of work

    I read or heard some stats a week or so ago regarding UWs running game. There was a metric for situational running play success. In other words, did the play achieve what was needed inbthe situation.

    One would assume, based on what most seem to remember and all the comments here, that UW would rate pretty low in this metric. Not the case though.

    I'd try to look it up but that's pretty intensive for what I'm doing at the moment.

    And it's just a stat. I'm not taking a side re: Huff just by mentioning it. Just thought it was interesting and surprising.

    When your QB is leading the country in passing yards and has only been sacked five times…. That’s damn good. I can’t pretend like our OL hasn’t been good this season. I know nobody has said they aren’t good, but still. I’ve bashed Huff many times, but he gets credit for his group playing well.

    If Huff doesn't get credit for the good this year, if its all Penix and the scheme, Huff shouldn't take shit for Peterman/Donovan's abortion of an offense
    OL has played well this year and will be good again next year. Both tackles are studs. We lose three starters, but we have talent and depth. I don’t think I’ll want Huff fired anytime soon.

    Huff is an example of the old rule here that the HC is all that matters. DeBoer and Grubb know what they are doing and now a seemingly shitty assistant isn’t so shitty anymore.
    Most of the time and I've beat the hell out of this drum.

    At the same time I expect the HC to make staff changes where it looks loke it can be a benefit. I'd probably be looking at other assistants if I'm Deboer, but I'd do it quietly and not announce any firings or changes until the new guys are identified.

    Fix the defense first.
