And, "There's just this little chalk outline on the ground right now where Bama used to be."
I really like Josh Pate. He's honest, funny, knows his history, and how everything fits.
That said, I'm not watching that. I know exactly what he's going to say and he's right about it.
The only thing about the barn is, we don't have to go to voodoo stadium. Since the $camback in 2010, they have not been able to generate that kind of flukey madness in our stadium that they do at home. If they come in with a recruiter as acting HC, a depleted roster, and barely a coaching staff and beat us....yeah....to say we won't ever live it down would be a massive understatement
That's my point since Golding has been here. I'm really worried about next season if both coordinators return. I believe offensively we're in trouble. Defensively same thing . I really hope we get a new off coordinator with some innovation. None of this under 5 seconds every play. The one thing I don't get is earlier in the season coach said when we run it fast we're better. And I swear Bob slowed it down even more.
I really like what he had to say honestly. Makes me feel a little better now. Hope coach does what he has to do which I believe he will.
This doesn’t sound like a ringing endorsement for BoB, which is good news
He said a lot more than this.
Funny that this is what you chose to quote out of all he said.
Well, those were the two quotes that really struck me.He said a lot more than this.
For those who wish to hear the whole thing, I posted the link to the entire video.
In fairness to Pate, he said CNS ain’t about to retire, he will make changes, and he will get it sorted out.He said a lot more than this.

I know I see where some was saying the change in philosophy on offense and on defense. I think the change in philosophy on offense has been pretty good and it needed to change with this day and age in college football. Throw away the last couple years. I think the defense changing to more of a 335 setup is what's hurt us the most. And really the last few games is more of a 245 of setup. And I hope that's just due to injuries. And that's why I believe we're getting pushed around more on the defensive line anyhow. I wish we would go back to more of a 4-3 style of defense stop the run and play more man coverage and make them beat you through the air. I believe you will get more turnovers that way. Just my two cents.
i would be more comfortable if coach would have just said "bless his heart" when asked about o'brien
This year maybe. However in the last 12 months I think the record is 1&1 and minus a Jameson injury might well be 2&0. I’d like some more physical presence in the middle of the D and a more productive o-line but don’t think the sky is falling just yet.
The question for me is this: Monken primarily spent his time in the NFL as a offensive position coach/OC. Same holds true for BOB.
What’s the difference?
The difference is really two fold in my mind. Monken schemes and calls plays suitable to the personnel he has.They have three TEs (actually 4) that would start anywhere. They run out a formation with all three. Bowers, Gilbert, and Washington are physical enough to blow you off the field in the run game like extra tackles, but also fast enough with a size advantage to offer mismatched with LB’s and safeties. Look at their wide outs - one or two guys that have the speed, but then a guy like McConkey that is a great route runner and makes the catch when you need it.
Monken also has the ability to “play to his defense”. He knows if they get 30 points, it most assuredly a win, especially the last couple of years. He doesn’t need to throw it all over the field. He does an excellent job of recognizing the strengths of his personnel and executing with it.
BOB, on the other hand, not so much. Only thing BOB recognizes is if his halftime hot dogs have too much mustard on them.
One add to this: how often has any color guy during the course of one of our games said “wow that was excellent play design! They got the mismatch they were looking for”? No it usually “Amazing, Young kept the play alive long enough for the receiver to uncover”.
Monken designs plays for his personnel that gives them the edge. BOB just simply calls plays and hopes something good happens.

Show y’all something. First quarter, 2nd and 5 probable run down. TIM smith RDE, DJDale NT, Will Anderson, RDE. Dallas Turner in the Sam . 7 defenders to the boundary short side of the field, the run play went to the wide side , gained 15 yards but was called back by a hold. 2 down linemen in the game on running down. Score 0-0 in first. Qtr ends. 
After the penalty, 2nd and 8:, start of second qtr. probable pass down.. 2 down linemen WA at RDE, DJ Dale NT, TS at LDE, DT in Sam. backend in a match zone or combo coverage. I actually couldn’t tell because mistakes were made in coverage. I think it was man to the outside but 42 ran with the wideout, either he didn’t trust #1, or it was match zone. The TE, went in motion and 42 followed him Which told me possible combo??
play resulted in big gain for first down.

Next play, second down &10 , 2 down linemen DT, TS, DJD, and Will Anderson. With DT with his hand in the dirt in the LDE spot. The play results in a loss of 1 because 42 came on a run blitz when the TE vacated the area to be a lead blocker. 
for people saying we are not as strong, watch Dallas Turner destroy the 2 guys, Tackle and guard, 600 pounds pushed back. Also watch Anderson get held around the neck

That’s our base defense folks. Wonder why we are getting pushed around, 2 of the d linemen are less than 250 pounds , giving up 50-70 pounds . By the third-fourth quarter that has to take its toll. I understand the concept, moving guys around making it hard to double, speed on the field, etc. but that cant be all we do. Want to know why Georgia is more physical at the point of atttack. It’s not hard to understand. I had my Granddaughter all weekend, so I didn't get around to breaking down the game like I usually do. I just reviewed the first quarter. I counted 3 snaps with 3 actual down linemen.
Makes you wonder why any 5* defensive line prospect would even consider Alabama.
