aTm, AU, FLA,ARK, LSU were all difficult games because our OL couldn't cut the mustard. Then on the last drive vs AU and the GA game our OL gets it together and voila! Instant offense! On top of that, he abandoned the running game on the goal line and cost us points when the BRob had put in the work to get us down there!
He's hot and cold and we need someone who can keep the heat up every game!
Right, because we all know that OLs can turn it on or off in a moments notice.
What happened in most of the cases the D just rushed three or they were tired.

My main issue with O'Brien is that it feels like he scripts the entire game ahead of time and then does not deviate
from that script.... Opposing coaches
(at least the ones not named Kirby Smart)
have figured out by now that the best way to slow down our offense is to blitz the hell out of Young on every play.
We just keep trying to run the same plays that we always run. It is infuriating to watch at times.
His in-game adjustments are arse

So why doesn't Saban fire BOB and hire you? It's laughable how many posters here think they know more than the coaches.
You can say that about any coach though. He wasnt able to win anything with Deshaun Watson and DeAndre Hopkins. At some point it is what it is. Yeah the UGA game was nice but we've had some shite showings this season.

He has done a decent job. I wouldn’t crown him yet. I don’t think your own fan base is still sold on him.
I wouldn't hold the A&M game too much against him other than the interception Bryce threw at the Aggie goal line. Alabama also fumbled at their own 40 in the second quarter which A&M recovered and went on the score a TD.
When your offense scores 38 points (really 31) against an A&M team with a pedestrian offense themselves, you would expect to win the game; and yet, Golding's defense could barely get a stop against Nick Calzanada (LOL!).
The Florida game was the first game on the road in a very loud environment. Alabama got a big lead and once again the defense collapsed and could not get a stop against the read option. Once again, the offense scored 31 points so it wasn't terrible.
The LSU game was a train wreck due to an ill prepared team. They jump out to a two score lead, LSU became desperate and started blitzing on almost every single play in which Alabama with it's OLine problems did not handle very well. Still, they held on to win and didn't really have to open up the playbook but even still, the game was ugly.
Auburn, is just Auburn..... in Auburn. Alabama almost always plays terrible in that stadium and almost every bad thing you can think of happens in that den of voodoo.
Another thing, this is BOB's first year and it's hard to install an offense and change terminology with new players involved; and everything goes 100% smoothly.

That's the NFL. This is college. So apples to oranges. There once was a guy who coached the Miami Dolphins a couple years and didn't do very well. Then he went back to college and became the GOAT.

One. Maybe. No, not even one. It's physically impossible for the GOAT to give two shits when one is not an option.

I've thought the offense was pretty ok other than the O-Line this year. When you're o-line is bad, your offense is bad. Remember the late 90's and early 00's when we had great RB's and at least halfway decent QB's but couldnt do nearly enough with them because we could never put together an O-line that could get it done? That's where we were most of the year due to injury and inexperience. Hoping the shift we made for the UGA game, along with the year's worth of experience, is the answer we need to keep the train moving.

Remove Alabama from the equation bc its one of the most unrealistic fan bases in CFB. Then remove BOB and all of the idiots that think you should judge a NFL HC's record as it pertains to the job he can do as a College OC. Now just look at the results. 99% of non delusional fans would take this performance by a OC in a heartbeat

No I don't remember everyone saying that. I remember everyone from Houston telling you that he will be fine calling the offense. But at some point, his arrogant, stubborn, egotistical self would come back at some point to bite you in the arse or cause you pain.
He's not one for adapting in game much. He feels he's come up with perfect game plan and if it's not working, he will keep at it just to prove everyone wrong that he knows more than you. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Probably why he was mostly .500 with the Texans and can overcome a lot of it with Bama.

I’ll reserve judgment until I see a screen pass.

Removing the UGA game, you think its a good idea to ask that OL who has struggled all year in blitz pick up and pass pro to run a play that requires the OL to pass block for 3 secs before releasing down field ?

Do you understand what the main purpose of a screen pass is for?

A lot of older Bama fans are no longer with us because BOB put them in cardiac arrest!

He actually did pretty well considering. This is a false L2U narrative youve bought into.

Thank you.
We won because we have a talent advantage. Hes average. Kiffen can coach circles around him.

Youth and inexperience can work hard against consistency. Personally, I loved the 12 personnel that Sark had us in last season. We could protect, run the ball with Najee Harris anytime we chose to, and still be explosive down the field with DeVonta Smith and company.
O'Brien didn't put Young in a lot of those packages as often this season and frankly, Young looks a lot more unstoppable when he's dealing with wideouts all over the place. The downturn has been O'Brien forgetting to run in the red zone. Yeah, I'm still upset with the TAMU game.
