I don't want to put that kind of pressure on the guy, he was the best to ever do it, but he did show that it can be done so no excuses.

The thing with a guy like that, clearly he can run routes, catch the ball, get open for the most part. I think with him the question might be how big time corners want to intimidate and go hard at you in the first 5 yards, knock you off you're route. He's 175 lbs at last report and some...

but back to your question I believe due to being thin at the positions WR Cederian Morgan and RB Ezavier Crowell will have a chance to make an impact. There's going to be a free for all competition at OL so some new guys are almost certainly going to be starters. Some other guys, I...

I saw a few posts on the interwebs where some folks have spilled some details about what some players have asked for and gotten. None of the examples were from SEC schools I think but I'm sure there is some absurdity. One guy asked for "and got" a university employee to follow him around...

I'm pretty sure the only way we are having college football in 10 years is if the presidents of the universities all get together and just say we are done until we set some sane rules to govern this and make the rules set in stone. there really shouldn't be anyone having to "decide" if you...

I think having a guy with run game coordinator experience in can help us adjust the offense to get more balance. I don't think the offence is broken, it just needs tweaks. The rest of it is just mediocre players and ineffective coaching. We canned the coach, did a reset on the offensive...

I think we are going to have to hope the new OL coach can develop these OL we brought in. They were mostly young so it's not a big surprise that their film isn't popping at this point. There just isn't a tougher position to play than OL. Experience does matter. It doesn't guarantee you to be...

I think we have to wait and see on this one. On the plus side, The first two years it seems the players weren't all a fit together. By year three in the portal era the team should be pretty much all guys he specifically picked. On the negative side I don't remember a coach who produced...

Alabama has definitely been losing the head game part. They somewhat convinced themselves they were superior to Florida State and then got shellacked by them. Truth is Alabama was better than them but if you don't play to your potential then your potential isn't very meaningful. Certainly...

Would love to see Vlachos brought in as an additional OL coach. Pound for Pound he may have been one of the best in the Saban era. On the subject of personnel I feel like we did ok in the portal. I think the house cleaning was necessary just to utterly reset the position. Hopefully a...

I think DeBoer is right that there is a fine line from where we are vs where Indiana is. But that is not to say we are close. The fine line exists in how every player on the team approached preparation starting on the first day of winter training. Talent isn't what is holding us back, it's...

In addition to the OL issues I'd like to see our back play harder. They seem to think the other guys have a right to tackle them if they approach them. They need to run angry, and don't ever underestimate how big it is to always fall forward when you do go down. That transfers the energy...

So it's been a bit and the OL coach is still employed. Don't know if that will continue or if DeBoer is banking his career on this guy but we will know before spring. So tabling that discussion it's clear they recognized how desperate the situation is related to getting some movement in the...

I'm 59 years old. My memory of Alabama football goes all the way back to the late stages of Bear's career. I have never seen an OL coach put hot garbage like that on the field and actually get better later on. It's never happened. Even if this guy has some ability, a change is needed...

I don't think the age limit will work especially for former military guys but I do believe the day you start your college football career it should end 5 years from that date, no exceptions, no injury stuff, just 5 years. I also think the age limitations for pro ball should be dropped. if...
