Then how do you know that DeBoer didn’t recruit or offer him. Not trying to be ride Then how do you know DeBoer didn’t recruit or offer Sayin? Not trying to be disrespectful, just curious.

Check out this link for a comparison of the records of coaches (since Bryant) at the start of their tenure at Bama: https://www.al.com/alabamafootball/2024/01/how-kalen-deboer-compares-to-saban-bryant-other-alabama-football-coaching-hires-over-the-years.html . Remarkable!! Nobody else...

Saban is a defensive coach. So he must recognize this, if it is true. So, why hasn’t he done something about it?

Does someone have a list of the juniors that left early for the NFL over the past several years?

My worry is we score quickly, and they score with long drives that wears our defense out by the end of the third quarter. We need to score, but our run game needs to contribute substantially to rest our defense. A lot of 3 and outs is obviously very hurtful to both staying in the game and...

I suspect those 2 drops were caused by the opposite spin from Mac’s right hand vs Tia’s left hand.

The most worrying thing to me was when I watched the OL near the goal line on run plays. We didn’t charge out. Instead, we stood nearly straight up and got pushed back. Hard to understand why this should be our strategy against a much smaller DL. Anyone else notice this? Surely they...

I believe Frank Thomas was the coach that first put us on the National scene. He was CPB’s coach and had a winning percentage nearly identical to CPB. Bama would not be Bama without him.

My first question is why didn’t some of our so-called elite staff consultants identify this tendency as a weakness likely to be exploited by better defenses prior to the game? And, why couldn’t our highly compensated coaching staff see the problem during the game? We’re...

Did anyone else notice the Clemson defensive linemen breathing oxygen when not in the game, while the Bama defensive linemen did not appear (at least on TV) to be doing so? Do you think this was an administrative oversight by our staff? Or did I just miss something?

My bad. You are correct. The article I read was from 3 days ago by Ron Evans, titled "Alabama Football: Past Nick Saban presser may explain what went wrong in 2018". I did not catch the word "Past" in the title, only listened to the video.

CNS said in a recent speech that a big difference in 2018 is that our coaches did not develop relationships with our players. I assume this is at least a significant contribution to the turnover in on field staff.

I agree completely with your post. It seems some here are splitting hairs and reaching at straws to negatively interpret the original and followup post. Where is the class in any of that - definitely not consistent with philosophies of Bear, Stallings, and Saban.
