Let's take a look at this from not a perspective of who stinks vs who does not as a coach. I will give you some info for context :
1. Pittman. Best recruiter of all of them. Prob the best coach. It helps having 5 stars, and he got them. BUT, to be clear, when he is done at Army, he is done coaching. He is NOT leaving Ark again.
2. Luke: Good coach, terrible recruiter (see the Green class) and the players hated him. That is a fact
3. SS: Good coach, decent recruiter, players love him. BUT, he plays too many guys. that is the problem
So, with THGIS team, one of the biggest problems is who is playing each and every series..when your center is constantly looking to his left and right and having a different player each game and even each series it kills ya. O-line is about cohesiveness, which we DO NOT have. so, lets look at the players:
A. Green: Def been hurt a lot this season, has put on weight and really should be a guard. His arms are too short to play tackle
B. Fairchild: Played well early on but is a little banged up. Still very talented, but needs more constancy
C. Wilson: The anchor of the line, but being hurt has set him back AND again, like stated up above not knowing who you are playing with hurts you playing center the most
D. Tate: Hurt and is not a great pass blocker. excels in the run game, but the injury really set him back. reports he was sick last week so we will see him play this week, and we know he wants to vs UT
E. Morris: Again, hurt. he is probably, when dialed in, the best of the group. BUT, he has to be dialed in
F. Truss: The vents fav whipping boy. should prob be a guard, but has to play tackle. he has a couple of plays a game that most ppl point out, but over all is good enough
G. Freeling: has not taken the step from year 1 to 2. has good moments, and then regresses
H. Bobo: Has actually played pretty good..BUT, because of his last name and star ranking ppl dont like him.
So, that is 8 guys. most of the time we play with 6. That is the key. we are hurt and rotating too much and no consistency. So, that is on SS save the injuries part. it is part of the game. But the lack of a running attack is directly correlated to the rotating of players. flame away!
