Re: UA Coaching Carousel (Locks, Gattis, Key, Enos, Tosh, and ???)
Alabama has been one of the best in the country at this since Saban arrived - also in returns. Banks had zero to do with that. He was brought in to help the kicking specialists. Complete failure on that front.
Re: UA Coaching Carousel (Locks, Gattis, Key, Enos, Tosh, and ???)
Agreed. It wasn't going to work anyway - no way Bulovas was getting to the 17 yard line or better - but we fired off the line like a girl scout troop.
Re: UA Coaching Carousel (Locks, Gattis, Key, Enos, Tosh, and ???)
Based on his postgame comments, he liked the chance of success when the play was called right before the snap because of Clemson's alignment.
Re: UA Coaching Carousel (Locks, Gattis, Key, Enos, Tosh, and ???)
Then he should fire himself.
Re: UA Coaching Carousel (Locks, Gattis, Key, Enos, Tosh, and ???)
Yeah, that is crazy. They were in a standard defensive alignment. If he liked that alignment, he needs to find another line of work.
Re: UA Coaching Carousel (Locks, Gattis, Key, Enos, Tosh, and ???)
He explained it as they figured blockers could get to the second level easier since so many Clemson players were off the line. Still such a stupid call.
Re: UA Coaching Carousel (Locks, Gattis, Key, Enos, Tosh, and ???)
If you needed 3 yards, I would agree. You needed 6, and Mac Jones is one of the least athletic guys on your team.

Has anyone been hired yet besides Vinnie?

Yep. The play itself isn't horrible with the staff's thinking, but it was a horrible decision for the particular situation.

I'll say this for JP: If he can get things turned around at Knoxville, win the east and ever beat us in the SECCG (while wearing the orange without getting drunk on the orange koolaid) he might just be coaching his way back to T-town one day.
So you are saying he missed all those PATs because his leg caught tired of kicking so many PATs.
JP is probably most like CNS of all his assistants in terms of personality, except Jeremy talks more like Coach Stallings than CNS.

I have not seen this view before but I now know we may have made it if 3 of our guys blocking their 1 guy makes their block. I don't think Banks is the one that called the fake punt with their defense in safe.
Let's all be honest, though. There's one reason Banks could be fired:

At the time of this play I was furious. I did see Ben Litvin on twitter explain that the call was made for a situation in which the defense would be in safe alignment. As others have said the number of people off the line opened up the possibility for the fake. That made me a little less angry, it does appear the play may have been there with a bit better effort from the blockers. I do think the distance was a bit too far and would've been better just to use our offense rather than attempt a fake. This would've been an interesting fake if Cade Foster was the kicker, he mightve been a better lead blocker than FG kicker haha.
That is Chris Owens. He actually apologized on Twitter to his teammates and to the fans. Basically said it's important to be zone in on every play. Didn't really understand what he was apologizing for until I'm seeing this replay. I guess he was either not tuned into the fake that we were running the fake or just totally gave half effort.

Maybe Lake coming is more likely than not.

Would be a big get. The more I've read about him the more I like the idea of getting him.
Re: UA Coaching Carousel (Locks, Gattis, Key, Enos, Tosh, and ???)
Someone mentioned 45 earlier. That's Thomas Fletcher, the long snapper. He looks almost confused after assisting with a block for a half second.
From what I can tell with the overhead view, some of the guys were double teaming Clemson players rather than going to the next level. Either guys were already checked out or they didn't know the play very well.

Especially if he brings the #1 2021 DL recruit with him. It sounds like he is a little high strung which I think we need.
