Couch Sale: NFL Edition

Grubb is better than Carroll who built a strong offensive line actually at Arizona but nobody of note was interested in following him. He has a decent sized budget with good skill players and has had trouble getting linemen to come over, plus they played bad.

All that being said no way Fisch tries to bring him on board.
 
Too pass happy, tired of the 30yrd fades and low % plays. RTDB moar
It worked with Penix and 3 nfl receivers.
 
The situation turned out not to be great with the Hawks. Banged up OL, starting center retires mid-season, interior OL talent underwhelming, Metcalf a head case, and Kenny Walker getting hurt etc etc.
 
I don’t follow the NFL beyond occasionally checking box scores, so pardon my shit for brains. Was anyone really expecting better than 10-7? Geno Smith seems like a long term stop gap and they’ve got some above average skill players, but no one who is even top 5 at their position. Did Grubb really do all that poorly?

tbh, 'bama rehab' worked for a lot of coaches when saban was there. going to rehab there would be like going to regular rehab; you're gonna come out more fucked up and probably on some new (and interesting!) drugs.

maybe not the worst thing in the world?

Grubb took the bullet for Schneider who hasn't put together one good oline in the last 10 years
 
How quickly we forget Grubb's part in turning easy wins to close nail biters. Drove people crazy
ATBS he belongs with DeBoer and in college. The same criticism given to Kalen applies to Grubb. Maybe they should both go to the Falcons

His refusal to call shorter routes and run the ball vs the beav in the rain was a black eye and I remember it well. Overall still a good OC. Did it with Haener too.

This
Dude was going for homeruns to win by 20 when two singles to win by 10 would’ve been fine

Last home game vs Oregon, we get turnover in 3rd quarter, up by 10 or so, Grubb goes for home run bomb, 3 and out. Every freakin Tim. Flag football offense

No, but it’s far easier to terminate a first year OC than it would be to move on from Geno Smith, considering what’s out there. Why they deemed him fireable after a single season is a horse of a different color.
