What do y'all think of the job Ricker did in year 1?

I know I had some doubts early in the season and others expressed concern here as well. I don't remember as much being said as the season went on. Thought the line improved with time. Had to be a hard position to come into the game so late. All things considered, I thought he did a pretty solid job in year 1. Year 2 may be more telling though.

We need 2 tackles, bad. Interior of the line is good. Morse was solid, but he is graduated. East does have some solid DE's returning.

I'm interested to see him fully implement his changes in the offseason. Maybe they'll be exactly what we need to keep improving offensively in the SEC.

They did seem to develop as the year went on and adjusted to change in personnel. I'd be loathe to change schemes again, so I'd say let's see what this year brings.

Felt like the talent on the OL was subpar this year.

One thing that stands out to me is the way the OL progressed throughout the season. That is a very telling sign that good coaching was involved.

I like the youth movement on the staff, especially with Odom onboard now.

From Henson to Odom, Ricker and Grinch it's good to see.

The good news is we did see progress throughout the year. How bad we started though is confusing to me. I think we averaged close to 4 ypc in the beginning of the year, when against those teams we should be closer to 6 ypc. I do think he is a good coach, but I am unaware of any recruits he is bringing in this year.
