Great news! I hope Freddie's ability rubs off on some of our young LB's. Welcome home Freddie!

Happy to hear he got a good job, BUT I think he got a raw deal in terms of his playing career. He should be on someone's roster right now, if nothing else, tearing people's heads off on special teams.

He is definitely a man who knows how to hit the weights. He will do awesome!

Freddie has a new baby and a new job this year. Congrats, Freddie. :BigA:

Coach Roach has a ring to it, yes?

He was doing well with the Patriots, but had concussion problems that made him have to give it up. Here is a recent interview I did with him. It pauses for a moment after the commercial in the beginning and then starts.

Great news!!! This guy has alot of heart, his senior year I think he played with a brace on his arm from some injury. I cant remember what happend but I do remember that big brace. I think he will do a great job with the linebackers and if anything he will teach them what heart is!!

You are correct. I also believe if he didn't have that brace on he would have lead the country in INTs he dropped several that year. Man he was fun to watch.

I'm happy to see Freddie could stay in the sport that he loves so much. Here's to a long and prosperous career Freddie and welcome back to Bama.

 

[rizolltizide]

Welcome home Freddie!! Number 8 in the house!!

 

[deltatider]

I may be wrong, but isn't it Freddie Roach that has been pushing the football camp here lately????

 

[bamanut_aj]

that is great news for Freddie and for BAMA!

I always remember the game against Mississippi State where Freddie leveled some receiver trying to make a catch in a head-on collision. He must have blasted that poor kid a good 6 feet backwards. The whole stadium, in perfect unison, went "OOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!"

Too bad the world never had a chance to glimpse Hollywood Freddie Roach.... Brother!

I still remember when (I think) Ron Franklin called him "Freddie Road." It may not have been Ron now that I'm thinking of it, but somebody did.

The same ESPn guy called him that half the year. Crodie Broyle was also a favorite of that announcer.

That was Mike Gottfried that called him that.
