I think if the 10th assistant is approved, he's the QB coach.Perhaps having only running backs win the Heisman is beginning to annoy Saban so he brought in a Heisman QB to help spread the love.

Agreed. Some seem to think if the team/player is bad the coach is bad and can't coach. Jeff Fisher was a NFL head coach for almost 20 years and I would not say he is a bad coach. Not very logical.If we're going to judge coaches (or in this case analysts) by the production and not the situation, we'd all have to agree Daboll is a terrible OC right? I mean he had horrible offenses, but perhaps the teams and personnel had something to do with it.
The Rams, mostly. I guess it's possible they busted completely on Goff, time will tell. That's why I referenced the NFL.He was the Head Coach at IMG...The wave of the future in high school athletics and a HS football factory...and he was in The League! (Coach and player)...Oh yeah, that little thing called The Heisman Trophy isn't going to discourage recruits either! Not sure where you're coming from here?
Of course I trust him. With CNS, it's never about the optics.Every move Coach Saban makes or every hire he makes, he's thinking of possible situations in the future, how the hires right now will help offset those future situations & Crimson Tide Football keeps rolling along like a well oiled machine..
Coach Saban is the best HC of this generation & possible the absolute best college HC to ever walk a college sideline for a reason..I'll never question the man when it comes to our Crimson Tide Football..He's got this..
That was vividAnytime I see or hear Chris Weinke's name I immediately think of his SICK play-action passes. The guy would sneakily drift back all non-nonchalant with the ball hid REALLY well.....then BAM he spun around and in Houdini-like fashion magically still had the ball and proceeded to sling a bomb to a usually wide open FSU WR for a TD.
Not sure about his QB coaching or 'offensive' coaching abilities but the guy was a GREAT College QB.
I like the hire, and think he's clearly the 10th coach-in waiting. Not many remember that he almost came to Alabama out of high school, but opted for professional baseball. He was in his mid to late 20s when he won the Heisman at FSU. So while I'm sure FSU is "home" to him, Alabama isn't strange territory.Anytime I see or hear Chris Weinke's name I immediately think of his SICK play-action passes.

Do you mean Brent Key? Didn't know Chad Key came back to coach. Wasn't he a WR for Bama back around the early 90's?I like the hire, and think he's clearly the 10th coach-in waiting.

He was a fine technician in college, and your illustration of ball-handling skills is a great example. That said, execution as you described requires a backfield clear of the opposing rushers. Are you listening, Mr. Key?
A bit off the Weinke topic, but I think Chad Key is feeling the most pressure of any member of the staff. With the notable exceptions of Ryan Kelly and Jonah Williams, the OL has underperformed talent for a few years now, and it's his job to fix that. With the departure of Cristobal, Key has control of all five positions. It's put up time.
Fair enough, I like that point. I'm not opposed to the addition, it's another high caliber, and quality ball minded assistance that will in one way or another help our team succeed.If we're going to judge coaches (or in this case analysts) by the production and not the situation, we'd all have to agree Daboll is a terrible OC right?

Yep, everything starts right there. That doesn`t happen, everything else in the offense becomes superfluous real fast. Although I think you meant Brent, Key is the key this season IMHO.I like the hire, and think he's clearly the 10th coach-in waiting.

Not sure how accurate that is because Clint was going to be a GA while Weinke is going to be an analyst. Granted, they both were probably hired with the same intention - help the QBs.I read that Weinke got the job only because Clint Trickett (Coker former FSU teammate and fellow transfer) passed on the job to coach TE at FAU.

Not your best...We could all use a little more Weinke.....

You're both right. I did mean Brent Key, and have fixed the post.Yep, everything starts right there. That doesn`t happen, everything else in the offense becomes superfluous real fast. Although I think you meant Brent, Key is the key this season IMHO.
