    No they are not! They are not grasping the pass protection in this system.

    That is true; Bama is good on D. Just no int and Bama game is totally different game. You could say the same for LSU game too.

    Either it's weak or it's not. Did he throw bombs against USC? What allowed that to happen?

    You mean like they did so well in the AR system?

    Rogers has time to throw as much as any other QB in conf. The other QBs in conf just run around and buy time to throw but we can't do that. When a team blitzes and as QB you don't adjust that is on you not the OL.

    Blacklisted, stepping up and throwing the ball 40 yards in the air doesn't mean he is strong enough to throw a 15 yard out into tight coverage from the opposite hash. That's where arm strength is measured. Doesn't mean he can't complete a lot of different types of passes but he doesn't have the strength to complete every pass. It's who he is and that's fine. But he is average at best in arm strength. At best.

    The good ole boy system of hiring your buddies , and pushing to go back to something a HS coach knows how to run, is what has me pulling my NIL donations this week. The decisions in the off season by admin and coaches is just backward thinking, but it gets buddies hired.

    These posts trying to pump up the staff, but yet the same posters totally mocked the previous Hall of fame coach, seems like more of the good ole boy system going on this staff and adminstration.
    For every sunshine post about this staff and 1997, it just reminds me of this is the same administration that hired Cohen as AD.

    Don't do that. The players and the future is much bigger than a bad half season. There are issues at every program and some of the same things our fans talk about are the exact same issues everywhere. The difference is at some schools, they increase their financial support to overcome the perceived problems, not pull away support.

    Did you really quote me but delete my first sentence where I said I don't have social media and I haven't been following his efforts closely and said I was asking a serious question? Come on, man. Again, I have no idea what he's done because I have not been following his efforts closely. Thank you for indirectly answering my question, I guess.

    I don't want to, and I respect Charlie for all he does.
    But the stupid stuff like the offseason decisions by staff and admin is a sign we have a bigger problem. We have too much good ole boy going on. The OP on this thread is inadvertently showing just how much so.
    There needs to be a cleaning of the house alright, and chief of staff, and all these that have pushed for a total 180 from last year in a season of seniors that only know that system, is stupidity.

    No. The furthest ball he threw was a touch throw 46 yards in the air. That's not indicative of a strong arm. I've done that a lot. Not always with timing and accuracy mind you, but still. Throwing a ball 46 yards doesn't prove you have a strong arm for sec standards.

    I get the frustration. But pulling NIL support makes the problem worse for the next coach too if we make a change, and makes it harder for this staff to win. I encourage us all to be a part of the solution, not a part of the problem

    IMO, a lot of the freak out is also due to OleMiss and Kiffin's success. It always feels worse when OleMiss is having a better year.

    Are you on the dole? Arnett is putting a Croom level team on the field and should and will be fired at the end of the season. He has no business being a HC anywhere. I do believe will will be better in baseball, but not much. Selmon gets to make two hires this time

    Or, that were probably about 6 inches away from being 1-4 right now, got destroyed by a bad LSU team, and manhandle by a mediocre AL team. We need to go on a win streak to change opinions. We've been dog shit so far.

    I appreciate you for saying this. I don't understand all the cheerleading for this staff.
    My next comment is definitely debatable even by me, but they could have promoted an offensive staff member , and kept Arnett at DC and had probably much better results than this. Hindsight and all that though. But again, the admin and alumni pulling these strings is disheartening.

    The staff have been universally denounced by everyone here (except "InsiderInformation34"). So, you should take that back.

    There was no offensive staff member qualified. Remember Leach was grooming CZA to be a HC, not any of his offensive staff members. Or not to the extent that he saw them being ready for that role yet.

    One man's opinion


    We could go out and dig up Knute Rockne, Bear Bryant or Woody Hayes, hire him at beginning of season and would have to fire, before the season is over.

    Fans and Players.

    Those three coaches would probably kill two or three of these pansy fans and players in a year time.
