OL Coach “Glen Elarbee”

[VolFreakJosh]

I don’t think we gave this guy enough credit.

The way he’s improved the offensive line in a short period of time, I figured he deserved his own thread.

This is his sixth season working alongside Josh Heupel.

Hopefully we can keep him around for a while.

Coach Elarbee is awesome. He'sl got these guys playing lights out!

 

[Dudleys87]

Not that I think he will ever leave CJH but he deserves a considerable pay bump.

 

[I Love Lamp]

He looks like the type of guy that just constantly talks football. Probably watches Golden Girls re-runs with the wife and relates the plot to how you approach blocking schemes.

 

[Vol737]

The improvement from first to second year has been very impressive. We literally stymied Bama’s D line all day. Show the man the !

 

[VolBricks]

I'll be honest I had never heard of him before he came over with Heupel.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

It was amazing the pockets those guys were making for HH.

I don't know what he's doing. But, whatever it is, our OL looks like it came from a completely different planet than it has for the past 15 years! When was the last time anyone here has seen such aggression, rugby style scrums moving the pile forward 5 yards, a backup puking towards the Bama DL and taunting them to do something about it, and mainly the fact our RBs have lanes and our QB has time to throw ... and all that vs 4 quality defensive fronts so far. Wow.

We have a nasty OL and DL. Great coaching has brought these units along quite nicely.

 

[17Vols]

agreed, the improvement in O-line play is staggering, even over the coarse of this short season

And mixes sawdust into his pancakes in the morning cause his doc told him he needed more fiber.

Uses motor oil for syurp.

If this is his sixth season with Heupel, that's promising in and of itself. Hopefully it means he's not a "job hopper".

 

[vanillagorilla]

He'll be on vol calls tonight

This had been the bane of our existence since Stuckey…one partial season of Pittman didn’t count. Was an early fan of this particular hire…unlike some others. I remember straining to find optimism in the candidates Pruitt was interviewing to replace Friend.

Big Darnell Wright ran “kool aid “ Mc whatever his name is OB on the pass interference int in the end zone. That never happens. Big man gave chase . Coach has done an amazing job

Our OL unit are unsung heroes of the Bama win. Only gave up one sack and zero hurries. We got 9 hurries on Young. Bama’s freak dl Anderson did nothing. Our guys played lights out.

I’d say RG needs a big raise before someone takes him away from us

 

[Knight 1]

Best line I've seen in years, keep him happy $$$

 

[BIGORANGETARHEEL]

Glen is a good dude & tough as nails. I was a walk-on WR at MTSU 2001 & he was on the team at that time (we smoked Vandy in Nashville that year for the first time)
Great player on a great team, and we're lucky to have him IMO

 

[Alto1]

He has earned his paycheck no doubt.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

The is the first time I have seen a competent OL at TN since Kiffin/Dooley. It’s so refreshing to have an actual OL coach who knows how to develop.

Before the season started , I thought coach Elarbee was the weak link on our coaching staff . Boy was I wrong , he has our O-line playing great !

Papa Bear has earned a raise for coaching those men up!

Glen Elarbee has done one hell of a job with a part of the team that used to be a big weakness.
