***The 2022 Offensive Line***

Austin didn't bring in either of those guys and didn't he only have them for a year?  Jaimes was getting drafted regardless

He did have them 2018-2020. But Farniok did not look like an NFL guy for much of his time here, and by all accounts he's solid in the league. You'd hope that talent would've been more evident here. And Jaimes went from Austin saying he could be one of the top tackles in the country to a 5th round pick - I think those guys got drafted on talent more than polish.

(SSO): It’s actually the offensive scheme changing that has helped us. Trust me, if Austin was still here under Whipple, you’d probably be happy with what we are seeing.

From all accounts I've heard, the offensive plan is Whipple's passing scheme and Frost's running scheme, ie the overall running scheme is basically the same as before. And from what I've heard, most of improvement is on the running side. So if the overall running scheme hasn't changed but performance has improved there, wouldn't that mean that it's the OL coaching philosophy change that made the difference?

And let's not pretend that the problems with the offensive line were all schematic. The number of penalties they racked up were arguably an even bigger problem than the blocking. That falls squarely on Austin.

Frost said that they were installing all of Whipple's offense and then would mix in "his" running schemes later in camp since most were familiar with those.  Not sure where they stand on getting his runs installed.

 
"When I went out interviewing people, I wanted to find somebody who felt the same way I did about the mentality and technique," Frost said, "and Donnie knows it better than I do, but I love what he taught and it's coming to fruition now."

Frost didn't want to talk about why it look so long to make a change with former O-line coach Greg Austin.

“I don’t wanna talk about that today," Frost said. "I have too much respect for people that were here before that are great coaches. This just fits what I believe in better.”
