If the Bama OL still sucks by the end of the year should Cristobal be fired?

I get that we have 3 new starters, but Cristobal also has some of the best raw talent in the nation to work with and develop. Even with inexperience, Alabama should never have an entire unit that is one of the worst in the SEC. Too much talent on campus for that to happen. We seemed to get more physical last night, but that was Ole Miss. I'm especially concerned by the constant drive killing false starts, holds, etc. We have always had a very well coached and disciplined OL.
I tend to get the impression that Cristobal has not really mentally moved on from being one of the best up and coming HC's in America. Is he mentally committed to the job of OL coach only a few years after being mentioned for HC openings at power programs?

Yeah, besides the fact that he doesn't.

not his fault that Saban missed on some recruits.

Our defensive line isn't chopped liver you know. Isn't Cristobal recruiting his tits off? Do you want to fire him before NSD and potentially lose so guys he's in on?

He'll move on and take a better job at the end of the year whether the OL still sucks or not.

Bama board, and no.

Steen was out last week, starting C went out yesterday. He's doing OK.

When ryan Kelly went out with a injury and the backup came in we seemed to run the ball better. Kelly is soft I mean the guy is in the backfield 65 percent of the time.

Cy K is supposedly a 1st round lock at LT but he seems to have regressed from last season. He is one of our most penalized players and has been beaten on the edge a lot. I get that this new unit does not have a DJ Fluker or Chance Warmack clone, but there is talent available. I'm concerned with the lack of discipline. That is part experience but also part coaching. Saban seems to be really sick of the OL issues as well and he is not going to sit back and let an assistant not do his job.

This is what confuses me. Bama brings in a new OL coach and picks the top OL prospect out of LA (that's Louisiana for you Gumps - not Lower Alabama...) who is a lifelong Tiger Fan and dreamed of playing for the Tigers since elem school. He cited his newfound relationship with Cristobal as one of the leading reasons. Guy could make a fortune in the used car and insurance business with a sales talent like that.

I wanted the opinion of several different SEC fan bases, not just Bama homers. This is why I post on the SEC Rant in the first place.

the talent is there. The cohesivness is not. Give them time. Vocal leaders is something that isn't a strong suit on this team.
No Barrett Jones...no Vocal leader on the OL.
CJ Mosley isn't the most vocal either. I'm glad he came out and said what he did. It seemed to work

1) He just got hired.
2) The recruiting class, at offensive line, would likely fall apart.

I don't know about him but I'm hearing the shite is about to hit the fan with that Siskey guy. I'm pretty sure he is being let go. There is probably nothing that can be done to bama but it is really embarrassing.

Head coach who was fired only to become an OL coach who proceed to be fired as an OL coach? Damn, talk about your falls.

We've got the best OL class in the nation for 2014. And that includes the #1 overall player as per 247 Sports.

Yeah. Ryan Kelly went out with injury toward the end of the first half. At that point we had 36 rushing yards. With Chad Lindsay at center for the entirety of the second half, we ran for over 200 yards in the final two quarters alone.

Only 4 games into these guy's careers as well. FWIW.
shite happens. It's unfortunate but experience on the OL means everything. I do think the penalties is part of Cristobal's fault. That needs to be fixed.

Cristobal is a good coach and it makes absolutely no sense to fire a position coach (with the obvious exceptions) in his first season. I think Bama fans need to come to grips with what you have on that line and that maybe it's not as good as you've had the past couple seasons.
