“ Coker wasn’t ready in 2014.”
We are all entitled to our opinions. Personally I don’t believe this to be true. For some reason, Coker and Kiffin didn’t mesh. Coker’s starting season wasn’t the best but his huge arm loosened up the defenses and allowed us to have over 700 more rushing yards from running backs than we did with Sims under center.
I appreciate what Sims was able to accomplish and that he did what guys aren’t willing to do anymore, wait his turn, but you will never be able to convince me that he’s not the reason we lost both games in 2014. Go back and watch them. Ohio St and Ole Miss loaded the box to stop the run and dared Sims to win with his arm.

Once again Coker didn’t play well vs Ole Miss either. Also I know he gets a lot of credit for the Clemson game but well over half his yards went to OJ. 4 of OJ’s catches he was wide open because Clemson completely forgot to cover him. Another was a 60 yarder screen. Sims only had one such opportunity vs OSU.
Also we ran for more yards (also we had one more game) because of Henry. He was healthy and we ran the ball more in 2015. Teams were definitely stacking the box versus Henry because we were running him 30-40 times a game towards the end of the season.
Overall the top 2 RBs avg 0.2 YPC more in 15 vs 14. I don’t know how you could say that was definitely because of Coker instead of the OL and Henry being better.
