Gus tried to hire Rocker when he came back, but was turned down.

He was still with the Titans at the time. I assumed he didn't want to leave the NFL

I don't know man. Fountain and Garner both need new jobs next year.

Of all the things wrong with our team. Special teams isn't one.

I think Boulware is better than the guy we have. Special Teams was one of the few bright spots at the end of the Chizik regime
In what way are our special teams playing poorly thus far this season?

Hutchinson hasn't missed a PAT or FG (granted, our offense hasn't afforded him many opportunities for either), has the longest FG in the league thus far (which could have been good from 60+), and has been nailing the EZ on kickoffs and Phillips has been solid and is #12 nationally. Our returns have been above average (again, not many opportunities for running back punts, thanks to our porous defense).

Honestly, our ST has been our lone bright spot, even if you don't compare them to our dismal performance on O and D. Why would you want to bring back Boulware?

I told LSU fans taht they got a good offensive line coach for themselves in Grimes. But he doesn't fit in our scheme worth a shite. He is s straight laced block the guy in front of you line coach, Malzahn likes to use a lot of pulling players to help clear paths and JB understands that aspect better.

I loved having Rocker as our defensive line coach but I really wanted Muschamp to bring Lawing back with him and move Garner to ST/TEs.

Actually, get rid of Lashlee and Garner and things will be perfect. The QBs are not being coached well, period. Lashlee is basically Gus's version of the BBQ boys.

Gus should let DCraig work with the QBs

And yes to Lawing....that was the only part of the Muschamp hire that pissed me off. It appears he was told Garner was staying no matter what. Where did Lawing end up?

What is wrong with our special teams? They've been the best unit on the field, easily. We've punted a million times and no one has hurt us.

Exactly. While he's not out there coaching the kicker or punter specifically, we've got two guys who look among the best in the SEC at both positions once again. We are 32nd in Net Punting, 21st in Kickoff Returns.

Scott Fountain is doing a fine job. We had a major hole at Punter and we went out and grabbed a JUCO kid that looks great.

Florida State.

Lawing is probably the best DL Coach in the country. Solid recruiter and amazing at development. We definitely could have pulled him in. I hate Garner and Gus for being in the way of pulling in a good coach

Great recruiter but not sure how great at developing OL he was. I have no issue with JB. OL is not the real problem this season

Tracy Rocker


Of the 3 I could see this possibly being an upgrade

Boulware


This is dumb. Fountain is a solid recruiter. Our ST look WAY more polished under him (we aren't dropping punts, we are seeing improvement in punts & kicks) & he has 3 freshman at key positions that are holding up.

I get that you are melting but this idea is just dumb. We need to quit blowing up our coaching staff every 2-3 years and have some consistency

Gus kept Garner due to his Auburn connections, right or wrong.

Gus's loyalty will also keep Lashlee here past his due date. Cause if Sean White sucks as bad as Jeremy did I'm pointing fingers at both of them.
