Here he comes

I think whoever Saban gets will have trouble doing a bad job. This team is loaded, and honestly if Alabama can win with a washed up offensive coordinator then I'm betting whoever comes in that isn't an emergency hire will do just fine.

2010 was probably the most loaded offense Bama has ever had but it couldn’t keep pace with USCe and LSU. Granted LSU had great rbs and wrs and USCe had Jeffreys and Lattimore but you can’t tell me Garcia and Jefferson\ Lee are equivalent to the wood burners that are playing qb now. The reason we went away from the Macnussaurus Rex offenses to the Kiffin style was to keep up with these high powered air raids. So yeah it does matter to a degree who he hires, but it doesn’t have to be a splash like Freeze. But if we go back to 09-13 style then we could repeat a 2010 type season with a loaded cast at offense.

I'm not missing anything. I'm just not willing to take one side of this as the gospel. A HC has to take every aspect of his team into consideration. The WR's may have been upset. The OC apparently was frustrated, but at the end of the day CNS was obviously doing what he thought was the best chance for his team to win.

The bottom line is that pulling Jalen Hurts off the field for an untested freshman was a risky decision. CNS chose to wait to do it until he no longer had a chance.

Believe what you want. Those of us that have seen messages from players on the team know how close we were to the situation blowing up. Locksley did a heck of a job with his position group!
 
Locks is a very good recruiter and I'd have no issue as some type of Co -OC. Up here in the DMV, Locksley was considered a very poor OC at Maryland..outside of recruiting which was stellar, by U of Md standards.

I'm pretty sure it is Locks or Freezus at this juncture.

The combination of both would be nice. I'm sure we could get a lot of good insight from Freeze from a play calling standpoint while maintaining a super position coach/recruiter. Could be a win-win. But, what do I know...

Don't take this the wrong way, but if a position group is about to "blow up" I'm not so sure you give credit to the position coach for putting out the fire after the fact.

Yikes. He wasn't a homerun by any stretch, but he was far and away the best of the names that appear to be seriously in the hunt...

If it's Locksley, then double or triple yikes; Saban must like playing with a handicap.
 
I wasn't thrilled when Kiffin was hired, and I was glad to see him go. I won't be thrilled if Freeze is employed at my alma mater because I still want character to matter. I don't trust that guy, and a Crimson polo ain't gonna fix that for me.

but, if all the players in that group are frustrated that they are doing their jobs, and making the blocks, and getting open and the ball is almost never coming out of the QBs hands, and it's causing the offense to sputter to the point it is hurting the team and then the position coach is able to at least moderate the situation, you have to give him credit for that. The tension from some of the players was extremely visible watching games. We've got multiple first round potential WRs on this team, and a couple of pretty good seniors who could have had a shot at the NFL with a decent season, but the ball wasn't coming out once we got into the meat of the schedule. I'm sure the WR film room got very, very tense with guys seeing exactly how open they were...
 
We’re laughing, Marty, because the notion that what Nick Saban built over the last 10 years would come tumbling down with only a Top 5 recruiting class and a few transfers or that he wouldn’t eventually recognize what needed to change is ... well ... laughable.

You laugh, but he's right.

If the young WRs transferred because Tua didn't the chance, we would have been in major trouble. WR recruiting was already struggling.

But hey, you guys can continue to ignore what many have tried to say since the Auburn game.

Why don’t you ask them. Personally I could care less CNS does as long as he continues to win championships, but at the same token I’m not naive as many here to think what has came out about Daboll and Kiffin’s time here that isn’t pro Saban isn’t true.

If Saban has issues with the offense and can still win championships like this then who cares?

I wish that in spite of my "blind spot" I was at the top of my field and the envy of all my colleagues and had accomplished a level of domination and consistency that smashed record books and sent my contemporaries helplessly scrambling for a way to unseat me.

Saban isn't good at everything but he's so good when it matters that he is literally unstoppable. People, talented and gifted people, have been trying desperately to stop Nick Saban for a decade and have little to show for it. Millions and millions of dollars have gone into coaching contracts, new equipment, and player evaluation technology; all in pursuit of knocking the King off his throne and yet...
Despite his apparently well documented blind spot or projected weakness the program he has built crushes the CFB world like a steam roller gliding over Frosted Flakes cereal.

It's not that Saban maybe made a call on offense too late - it's that it didn't matter. Tripping backwards over our own shoelaces with our arms in slings and a neck brace cradling our skull we still managed to win a national championship game against a healthy and disciplined opponent.

How remarkable that despite waiting till the last possible moment to make a season altering decision the team still had so much talent (stocked by Saban) and discipline (coached by Saban) that they were able to punch Georgia in the throat and snatch a title from their limp hands?

People should be more afraid of Nick Saban now than ever before. He can literally beat your best team on its best day with one hand tied behind his back.

If a post on a board like this causes CNS to retire early then he's not the coach/man we think he is.

In the past, I did worry that the fanbase (not a message board) as a whole could become insufferable and drive him away. There were times that fans got kind of unhinged. But, he's still here so he obviously doesn't have thin skin. But, one valid point would be that while some people were really worried about Tua and the dominoes with that, well Saban is over ten times as important. If people want to have something to worry about, it's not some receivers and a QB, the team can survive departures like that because Saban is that good, the real question there is no answer for at the moment is what to do when Saban leaves. That's what should keep people up at night.
