In all fairness, we cannot know how good or bad Sheridan is when our QB is an absolute clown show.Hope Sheridan leaves with Milroe.
OL play was spotty at best. But almost every play Bernard was open and JM can't see that???I get what you’re saying, and agree with the primary commonality, but unfortunately there was a lot more in common with the lack of offensive line play.
He has quarterbacks not named Milroe but flatly refused to play them. I've had your sentiment all year but this bowl game has really soured me on Deboer!!!My hot take: I WILL NOT judge CKD until he has a QB not named Jalen Milroe.
Can guarantee you he's NOT thinking, "Man, if only I would've hired Norvell instead."Wonder what Greg Byrne is thinking about now? Buyer's remorse ?
Because the people who pay the NIL money want a return on their investment. Can’t do that sitting on the sideline.I’m honestly confused as to why Simpson didn’t at least get a chance at some point during any of the UT, Oklahoma, USC, or especially the Michigan games. I understand the locker room politics played a role but at some point the coach has to do something if that was the determining factor…because quite frankly in 3 of the games we lost could probably have been just based on talent with competent qb play and a few back ups (filling in for anyone that chose lank over the team with milroe on the bench)…but we continued to let that one player handcuff the offense/team. Is Simpson just that bad? Was it poor decision making by the staff? Or was it the Lank/locker room politics? I just find it hard to believe that there wasn’t a better option over Milroe. But to be fair the way the line blocked at times it appears that they may have tanked against lank….just a frustrating season overall with the offense.
Don’t worry about pressure in his face, he won’t step up anyway. Edge pressure kills JALEN, bring the house off the edge. On the read option, always play the QB. He will keep it 98% of the time. There, that simple. Jalen defensed.Oh man, I am SALIVATING at the thought of getting to play him. Send the house, boys!

Higher chance they fire him at the end of next season then CKD getting to a 10 win season here ...All season, I had some tell me, no actually they SWORE to me "the dynasty is NOT dead!". The first 4 loss season since 2007 says otherwise. Oh, and it's officially the end of the streak of 10 plus win seasons that Saban had going since 2008. And yes, of course, let's not forget, Saban went 7-6 and lost to Louisiana-Monroe in his first season, just in case anybody forgot. Well, call me cynical, but I'm not seeing Deboer rattle off 6 national championships, 9 SEC championships, 4 Heisman winners and 16 consecutive seasons of 10 plus wins
Michigan's OL didn't play perfectly against us a year ago, but McCarthy threw them out of our pressures. He made us pay. DLs (especially as good as UM, OU, Tenn, SoCar) will always have an advantage over even the best OLs. Expecting the OL to be perfect while not expecting Milroe to be merely competent is hypocritical. He can do multiple things about the pressure...throw to the check down, step up in the pocket, throw it out of bounds. but he does NONE of thatI get what you’re saying, and agree with the primary commonality, but unfortunately there was a lot more in common with the lack of offensive line play.
