With CNS at the forefront of our recruiting, an OC who is not a great recruiter (or who had little experience in the area) wouldn't be as great of a concern IMO.
Offensive coordinator discussion/odds...
- Thread starter JessN
- Start date
The trending consensus appears to be that Daboll and Godsey are the #1 & #2 guys. But if Saban surprises again with an unexpected OC hire, maybe Jedd Fisch is a possibility. Perhaps Eric Kiesau is more of a possibility to replace Napier. A tweet from last night: https://twitter.com/MarkJennings55/status/831735220382613504 "BIG NEWS COMING. I HEAR COACH HAS HIS MAN." From his recent tweets, he appears to sometimes learn stuff before it's reported, like Sark leaving and Larry Porter to AU.

Not jump passes a la Tebow; jump passes as in "I'm throwing this to you, go get it!" AJ threw a bunch of balls into one-on-one coverage expecting our guy to either make the catch or break up the interception. Jake threw into triple coverage at the goal line in the SEC Championship game, yet Stewart outjumped everyone and came up with the ball.
This clip has a few from Coker to Adarius

This one has some from both Sims and Coker to Cooper:

it's not been a huge part of what we have done in the past, but we did it enough to have some success, which made the S play more of the field. We didn't use the TE for this role much, but that's the point of the earlier comment - maybe we should have since we had a TE that probably would have won a majority of contested throws.
Jalen had two problems throwing the long ball: accuracy and accuracy
He often threw it 5-10 yards over our players head and he often was 3-5 yards wide of the player...usually on the out of bounds side.
He's got the arm, but he had no confidence in this type of throw all year long except for one or two exceptions.

agreed - I started to wonder if Saban and Kiffen had drilled into his head to ONLY throw it where no one other than our guys could get it that he was over compensating instead of putting it where our guys at least had some chance at a catch...
That's my point. Jalen has the arm but his reads, decisions, timing and accuracy will have to improve to keep the opposing defense honest and on their heels. Hopefully he'll get the opportunity to work with Whitfield over the summer break. He's capable. And I expect he'll get it sooner rather than later.
Dosen't Whitfield cost a lot of money? Maybe his family dosen't have that kind of funds? Don't know.
Poster on another forum with earned credibility said "An offer is out to Daboll. Should know within 48 hours."
I checked with the psychic hotline. They told me they could tell me the secrets of the universe for $29.99, but they had no clue what CNS was going to do. I guess we will have to wait and see.
Doesn't matter where they get the money from... if Hurts want to get a QB coach, let him. It's not our business to know where they get the money from. I also wan't to point out that and I may be wrong, but every qb under Saban who started received QB trainings at some point.
We believe this is accurate information. I expect Daboll to either be at Alabama or out of the running entirely by the end of the week.
Daboll seems to be well respected. Having worked for Belichick that long, you know the guy gives 100%. I also liked the fact that a reporter in Boston said he was in charge of the Pats' running game.
Bizarre to me. Not sure what we see in him at all... although if Saban and Belichick both think highly of him, surely there's something there. But wow, his record outside the NE safety net has been abysmal.
Just got to be hopeful here: that he's improved since his past OC days, that his failures were the fault of everyone else around him, that we have too much talent not to be good, that we're not making our version of a Cam Cameron hire, etc.
