If that is the case then DeBoer is in year 3 of the 'Mike Shula how to get fired by keeping Bucket Step Bob" plan. We sometimes criticized apposing coaches for being mercenaries but truth is that football is very similar to fighting a war. In the end laws, legalities, morality none of...

Alabama has more talent than they did in 2006 but the offensive line coaching has been really ineffective. On top of that we live in a different world now. Back then you had a greater number of "easy" games. Games where you could not be at your best and still win and rack up good...

OL is the only position I know from experience having played it. Alabama's problem is mostly coaching. Yes they have to be big, strong, and have good feet. But It's extremely technical, almost like having to know kung fu or something to be able to manipulate or move your guy. You don't...

I think Cignetti might be the best coach in the country. Having said that, you are only cinderella once. After this season some of his players will develop a sudden interest in money. Cignetti should just tell them to move on and get some angry division 2 player who he can turn into a...

So all this pomp and circumstance of the last 5 years and the most saban like clone from the Saban coaching tree takes a bunch of 3 stars, develops them into 5 stars, drills them like marines, gets them to play with 100% intensity, every play, but without any emotion, Like a machine, or...

I think Hill has shown some potential this year. I don't know about the rest yet. The biggest flaw I have seen is just not hitting the right hole, not seeing the hole, and not breaking enough tackles. YES we do have blocking issues, YES we need to hire consultants to help Grub alter the...

Everybody knows this kid is struggling. He went through some horrible stuff this fall and I think he's a bit sidetracked. His playing time has gone down for sure and rightfully so but here is the thing. This kid isn't a great receiver (yet) but he's a generational athlete. When he is on...

I think the league wanted to manage the rosters at the home office. I'm not sure to what end. Possibly to get local college stars closer to the markets that want to see them. I'm thinking the existing coaches didn't want to try to win with teams that were handed to them without any input...

I think the Michigan job could be a good one but I think you'd need to cut all ties to past staffs. There is a sickness there that needs to be extricated. The biggest problem is that they are the Auburn to Ohio States's Alabama. They will expect you to win that game more often than not but...

I warn you not to look back. For instance, a glance at our 218 roster will leave you weeping quietly. QB - Tua, Jalen Hurts, Mac Jones RB - Damien Harris, Joshua Jacobs, Najee Harris, Brian Robinson, Jerome Ford RB - Jeudy, Ruggs, DeVonta Smith, Jaylen Waddle It's the same on defense...

I get what they are saying about the analytics but there is computer strong and there is country boy strong. UGA just showed us what country boy strong looks like. We need to get back to that, and I'm not talking about how they look or what music they like. I'm talking about someone who can...

The best coaches are willing to change as the circumstances change. Bear had to do it, so did Saban. DeBoer is clearly a good coach, but if he is going to be great, if he’s going to be a champion, he will have to adjust to the environment of the SEC.

I would say we’ve had a few good DL, just not enough of them. I believe it’s coaching am and I’m not sold on our S&C program.

I'm not certain if DeBoer has the right mentality to win championships in the SEC. It takes a really cutthroat person who will replace anyone at any level who he thinks isn't doing the job, right down to the guy who does the laundry. BUT..... I believe the real sign of decline is in...

It's a little concerning to see only one RB, WR, and TE signed. I think we have needs in all three of those positions. I realize you always have the portal but the portal is like a box of chocolates.
