And 7 of those points were due to a kickoff return for a TD, which had nothing to do with the defense at all.
Gary Patterson and TCU Visiting Tuscaloosa to Learn from the Bama Staff
- Thread starter RTR91
- Start date
I think he was implying that we needed our defensive coaches to go listen to TCU's potent offensive guys, to try and come up with some ideas to snuff out those hot QBs.
edit: thats 'hot QBs' as in capable, not hot as in good looking.
We probably would have a different looking roster as well, considering a few kids we sign actually just want to play in the SEC.
The reason he stated he wanted to visit Alabama was to gain knowledge how we evaluate recruits. I'm sure Coach Saban has a formula he uses to do this, but I think it's part of his makeup and I don't know if it can be taught. We recruit so well that when we take a 3 star now, I believe Coach Saban sees something he can develop.
I'm sure both coaching staffs can take something positive from a meeting like this.

You have been on here long enough to differentiate "hot" from "hawt". Don't let it happen again, aight. :wink:
I think this is always cool when you hear about other coaches visiting us or the other way around. Sharing ideas with each other is how you get better.

But in the talent rich state of Texas, TCU getting a few higher profile guys a year has more potential to affect Texas A&M in recruiting than us. It is an interesting ally. Patterson hasn't had the benefit of Alabama's tradition nor the high profile head coach to lure recruits but has been consistently successful the past several seasons. There are certainly things that each coaching staff can learn from each other.
Alabama and TCU actually had 2 common opponents, Ole Miss and West Virginia.
the circumstances were different of course. OM was without their best player, missing some defensive starters , the game was at a neutral site, the bowl game meant a lot more to TCU than it did for OM.
OM resembled nothing like the team that face us in week 5.
Patterson is the 5th longest tenured coach in the country, 15 years at TCU. 132-45 record not to shabby.
