He has a VERY long ways to go or Fine will be killed next year.

I bet Mason Fine is thankful to have an athlete with as much potential as Brammer protecting his blind-side next season.

Fine would be much more thankful to have protection from his left side rather than "potential protection".

Brammer is big, athletic, and has a great deal of 'try'.  I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt before we dump on him.

I'm not dumping on him.  I'm just stating that he's really struggled at LT and he has a ways to go.  If he's on the "fast track" then that seems to say more about the lack of depth at the position.

Finding and developing college-level tackles isn’t the easiest of tasks for schools that complete outside of the major conferences. There just aren’t that many 6-4, 300-pound linemen out there who are nimble enough to mirror top-end pass rushers

 

 

Strangely everyone else seems to find them?

Hopefully unlike McCarney we’re no longer narrowing the field even more by staying within a 6’4” 300 lb mandate.

McCarney had a HS senior-to-be in summer camp in 2015.  He had a nasty disposition for O line play and loved, loved, loved the physicalities of the run game.  He had an excellent day, did everything the coaches asked, won nearly every battle they matched him up against....but was told that (at 6’  2 3/4” 315lbs).....“honestly, if you were  6’3” or taller you would have countless offers, but unfortunately that’s the parameters we have to begin with, I’m sorry”.

The kid eventually received other opportunities to walk on elsewhere, received two full rides to DII schools and turned them down to play for UMHB and won a NC there.

Manslaughter, as it is not premeditated.

Brammer needs to put on some good weight.  The La Tech DE threw him around like a rag doll.  My greatest fear is that continues.  Parish on the other side that backs up Mayfield is also a little light to play tackle.

I doubt I'm the only poster on GMG who feels it's inappropriate to be negative towards individual players.  As far as I can tell this kid is trying his very best.  That's really all you can expect of an amateur athlete.  Don't like the coaches or administrators?  Fine, tear them new posterior portals, they get paid to take the heat.  Leave the 19 year-old kids alone.

My attitude has always been that if a player is doing everything he can on the field, in the weight room, and in the film  room, there is no need to call him out.   Even in cases were it's obvious a kid isn't talented enough, recruiting is not his job.  If the coach can't recruit the right athletes, that is on them, not the poor over matched student.  

 

Taking dumb penalties, obvious lack of effort, etc... feel free to be negative.

Saying that" McNulty wouldn't be the starter in 4 (or 5 years)" was ' critical' of the player?  Jesus.  If that's the worst thing you've found looking back through 9 years of my posting I must be a saint. You have way too much time to waste on the web.

I agree.  Just like my original comment stating that Brammer had much to improve wasn't calling him out.

Gee, let me think where I have heard these comments before.   Three years ago when Mason Fine took the field. Remember this kid is freshman.  He will get stronger and hopefully become a star for us.  The LA TECH  DE guy is going to be playing on Sundays. Our guy was a sheep given to the wolf.  He has a big gap to close and needs to protect Fine.  Give him time. The big great guys are going to the P-5 schools and we have to develop ours.

      Keebler has to go!

      Agreed. I would only do it again for a huge name that would excite the fan base, but make the contract heavily based on incentives over guaranteed money. For the Morris-type hires, three years with triggers to extend the contract automatically, like a conference championship buys the coach an extra year with a slight raise. Otherwise it is an annual discussion and negotiation.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I would have already fired Morris but if he stays it needs to be with several conditions. 1) hand over play calling duties to an OC, either bringing in someone or elevating Davis or Cobbs to the position. (I think Davis already has the title but we know it is meaningless). 2) bring in a new ST coach 3) replace the strength and conditioning staff. Too many injuries this season and the team is gassed by the end of the game and getting steamrolled. 4) new DC needs to run a system that can stop the run and must be able to adapt throughout the season to account for opponents and personnel losses. And all of the above needs to be overseen by the AD’s office. And no contracts for more than one year. Obviously this means replacing most of the staff, which at its core means we should really fire Morris and bring in an experienced HC who already knows how to build a staff. But if we are being cheap, at least the assistants don’t require buy outs. I would also like to see the AD renegotiate Morris’ contract to reduce the base salary/buyout and increase the incentives for accomplishments, including bowl wins and championships.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.
