What's the story here? That Galu is helping the QBs? It's just a small part of the article, but the headline implies that's the entire story.

Joseph Goodman is well on his way to becoming the next Scarbinsky

Edit: Missed this topic. Thanks for moving it here!

Alabama football’s coach behind the scenes


Starts with a totally unsubstantiated suggestion that Galu Tagovailoa has an inordinate amount of access and coaching responsibility in the program then sweeps back to a Sarkisian resume/biography recitation. Clearly he is establishing the narrative that Sark is here at Galu's bidding.

You gotta know he's hoping and praying the offense sputters in 2019 so he can mine this narrative vein again.

Goodman has a history of this. I fell victim when he predicted that Lia would go to UTe because, as Goodman reported it, Tua and Lia had an unhealthy sibling rivalry.

It was a betrayal of journalistic trust, and I can't for the life of me figure out why I believed the guy in the first place. That part's on me.

I no longer read anything he writes. If someone else quotes him, I need at least two other independent sources to begin to believe what he says. Even then, it's along the lines of a blind pig finding an acorn now and then.

Through line on that, 4Q, is the Tagovailoas. Could be he is just seizing on the most recognizable athletes on the team for his on benefit. I can't help but think that he has some "professional" animosity towards that family. The whole idea of Galu having significant input on the program seems like something meant to sow discord.

It reads like a gossip column, not a news story.

I hadn't considered that, but it's possible. Objective sports journalism died when sports talk radio and the Internet took over.

Exception noted for Cecil Hurt. Most of the time, he's an unabashed homer. But he knows when and how to write the critical piece. So when he isn't as optimistic as normal, it's fact-based. So he doesn't come across as bashing, yet it carries real weight

Well put, and another reason to ignore him.
