Yep, I really think the NIL/portal mess is why Coach retired.
AND.... I also think because he couldn't handle paid players the way he wanted to is why he left the NFL.
I have enjoyed college football and especially Alabama football since the 1960's..... I have NEVER seen an Alabama team play...
YES.... college football is suffering.
Kids are draw to move from team to team and a player can't learn the scheme of a coach if he only is there one year. The TEAM has to work together as a team..... not as a spotlight for one or 2 players.
The school with the most money will BUY the best...
I see what you are saying... WHY is the team playing so poorly?
The QB can't find enough time to pass because the entire defense seems to be staring him in the face before he can take 2 steps.
Has the offensive line been given a blocking scheme that is outdated?
Has everyone else's defense...
I agree.... After seeing what these true freshmen were able to do last season..... I can't WAIT to see what the D will be able to do next season. CERTAINLY these guys will be much better next year... PLUS... with incoming help, the D won't be a weak spot next season.
The LUCK the barn packs is usually good for anywhere from 10 to 21 points just before the game ends.
I'm sure the barn will luck-out another win..... Although I am pulling hard for aTm in this one.
SNASS....
When I was old enough to pay attention to football, my Dad and I would sit and watch Bama on TV (If we were lucky enough for them to be on that weekend). We listened on radio mostly. My Dad took me to games and I saw Johnny Musso run and get jerseys torn off....LOL.
I remember thinking no matter...
Well..... It should be a slug fest AND I'm gonna bet Coach will have our players flying high and ready to dish out a whoopin' to those dawgs.
I'm just a bit apprehensive right now..... BUT, I just feel like we WILL ROLL!!
Too bad the gus(T) 'o wind aint looking for a new job today. Not enough self destruction I guess.
I did notice that the barn players stopped taking the cheap shots when they figured out that we had BIGGER players that could dish it out too.
go barn go.... straight down the toilet.
Look at what they did this year to reduce the high speed open field hits.... They added that you can fair catch the ball inside the 20 and you get the ball placed on the 25....1st and 10.
In HS, they added an extra 5 yards to the out of bounds kick penalty just so it would be more appealing to...
Post game or just after a player goes down due to an illegal hit. I mean, after Tua went down, they had LOTS of time to review the play.
They have TV and instant replays from MANY angles. IF a player ANY PLAYER goes in and hits ANY OTHER PLAYER with the crown of his helmet is guilty of...
