Ominous Signs Ahead

[AlexanderFan]

Michigan subbed in Orji 2nd half. They had 6 point lead. Orji went 2/3 for 2 yards. And we lost.

With a pick.

When do players have to declare for the draft? Since the playoffs now drag on later, I assume that date is now later as well.

How is that worse? Milroe's gone now. If he was the main thing holding us back, then we'll win the SEC next year with everything we have coming back. That's a good thing, is it not?

It’s not a guarantee that he’s gone

 

[AlexanderFan]

The OL can’t make the QB read defenses, or be accurate with the ball. The OL got a ton of heat this year because certain fans simply aren’t going to criticize Milroe…ever.

The truth is that the skill guy who touches the ball can cover up a lot of team shortcomings when that player is skilled. That person can also exacerbate the issues of the team when that player needs work.

He’s not gone

DeBoer is installing his offense next season. End of story. Milroe can't run it, and he's not returning to college to sit on the bench. if he doesn't declare for the draft, he will enter the portal, because it's apparently still open for 5 days. Zero chance Milroe returns to Bama next season. DeBoer didn't take this job just to completely hitch his wagon to a QB who cant run his offense. Milroe is gone, because DeBoer's job depends on it.

We all agree and hope.

His job was to identify this from the get go but L**K politics kinda forced his hand. But I agree, I see no logical reason why JM would play another down for Alabama.

CKD didn’t bench him after the Tennessee game, nor after the Oklahoma game. I will believe he’s gone when I see it. I’m praying for it.

Deboer was a mistake. We should remedy that as soon as possible.

No, Kalen is a good coach. But he is not Nick and that is the problem.

Since no one answered me, I googled it. Apparently the date is different for championship teams.

Soft deadline January 6 Special circumstances
Hard deadline January 15
Championship game team gets till January 24
and you can change your mind by February 7

I’m not convinced he’s a good coach. At least not on the level we need him to be. I think he’s a mistake. I hope I’m wrong.

Name the coach that would have won with Milroe. You keep saying DeBoer is a bad coach so let us all know who you think would win with this team

Spurrier. He would have benched Milroe and won it all.

 

[bamaclimber]

I believe it will be worse next year. An unproven QB in SEC play will take at least one year to break in. The thing is, can DeBoer win the games he’s supposed to win? If he drops 2 or three next year while being a heavy favorite, I believe he will be fired in this NIL, “What have you done for me lately?” environment.

I'm starting to wonder if the school can even afford to fire him if they want to (IF they want to - not suggesting they should). DeBoer's buyout seems cost prohibitive, at least for two or three more years.

His record indicates the contrary, and it is two decades worth of experience at multiple levels. We know he was handcuffed with the QB situation but am very positive that he knows that we are not paying ten mil for not making the playoffs.

spurrier quit on his team and would have quit on this one as well

Saban, Bryant, Stallings, Spurrier, Tuberville, Meyer, Smart, Sark, Lanning,… the list goes on

You asked - the answer is any top level coach with the stones to bench Milroe.

 

[crimsonaudio]

Saban, Bryant, Stallings, Spurrier, Meyer, Smart, Sark, Lanning,… the list goes on

I mean, Saban literally didn't.

Never mind, I don't know why I'm even trying to leverage logic against emotion. Forget I even said anything.
