News from Mick
written by Mick Chang
Hi all, Mick Chang here again.
The coaches have started meetings to prepare for the Fall
practices. And before the SEC Media Days, the coaches went
to a secluded spot for its annual coaching retreat. I haven't gotten
any confirmation of Stubbs and Swinney meeting with Green Bay's
offensive staff, so I can't tell you what they have learned. I mentioned
before on Bamafan that DuBose had a one-on-one chat with Shaun
Alexander after the A-Day game to express his disappointment
in Shaun's attitude during Spring Practices. Based on Shaun's
quotes at the SEC Media Days, it seems that little chat did some
good, as Shaun appears to want the leadership role now.
At the retreat, a hot topic of debate among the offensive coaches is
"To
roll out or not to roll out...". Or whether the offense should
be designed around 2 seemingly very mobile QBs (Phillips and
Zow), who were high school option QBs, or around the drop-back
style of a frosh QBs (Watts and Tucker). Tennessee's OC Cutliffe
apparently haschanged its offense this year to utilize the mobility of
Tee Martin, that is different from the dropback style offense of Peyton
Manning. The answer is really, do you want to bet on the Sr and Jr
inexperienced QBs or the inexperienced frosh QBs? Not an easy
answer, and that is why the coaches are getting paid the big bucks
to make that decision. What seems to be the consensus is that both
Callaway and Stubbs prefer the 3-5 step dropback plays over the roll
outs or multi-step misdirection plays. When Callaway was OC at
Houston, he often times ran 2-step dropback plays, and Stubbs ran
the 3-5 step dropbacks at UNLV. Swinney had a good point that the
roll outs will give the receivers more time to come back for the ball
(a technique that was tried unsuccessfully last year, but apparently is
very critical to the new offense).
A topic of debate for the defensive coaches is "To press-man
or not to press-man...". As you probably recall, the press-man
defense style is where most of the defense is lined up on the line
or close to it and the DBs go one-on-one with the receivers, like
the defense we had against Miami in the 93 Sugar Bowl. DuBose
almost had it working in his DC year in 96 when we went 10-3.
We lacked the speed and depth on the DL to do it successfully last year.
It is more of an attacking style of defense, where the defense
dictate the tempo. The key is do we have enough team speed and
depth this year to do it successfully? If not, then the defense has to
be
a more conservative bend-but-not-break style of defense that Bill
Oliver always advocated.
Another interesting debate was whether we should move some of the RBs
to other positions. We are 6 deep at a spot where only one can play.
Last year in a 2-back formation, being 6 deep was ideal. The reality
in the 1 scatback offense is that you can really only prepare 2 RBs
during a week of practice. Right now, that is Shaun Alexander and
Arvin Richards. To further complicate the issue, Shaun and Arvin are
2 totally different types of backs. Shaun being the bigger and ideal
"student body left" type of back, and Arvin being the
"Sherman Williams
hide behind the OL" type of back. So if Shaun and Arvin are 1-2,
different
types of plays will have to be called when each is in the game,
complicating
the offense even more. As opposed to say, if Adam Cox who is a little
bigger than Shaun, was the 2nd RB, then the offense can be the same
when the Adam steps in. So what's the big deal about creating extra
plays? Not enough practice time. It is more ideal to keep a simple
offense that the players know well, so that they can execute well.
So in an average game of 80 offensive plays, DuBose would like to
see Shaun playing 75% of the time (about 60 plays) with 25-30 touches
of the ball, and the second RB play 20 plays with 5-10 touches.
Defensive coaches have been salivating at getting there hands on some
of the RBs. Adam Cox appear ideal build and speed for LB, as is
incoming Marvin Constant (but the coaches promised Marvin a shot at
RB/FB).
Also during the coaching retreat, DuBose apparently had a heart-to-heart
talk with some of the coaches who still question the commitment to an
"open offense". This is good because it gave the coaches the
opportunity
to air out their differences in private. The dissenting coaches had a
good point that 90% of the teams that won championships in the NFL and
college in the past 20 years were always in the top 10 rushing. Even
some
of DuBose's close NFL confidants like Sylvester Croom of the Detroit
Lions,
and Ozzie Newsome of the Baltimore Ravens, have warned DuBose about
having too much emphasis on the passing game and not enough emphasis on
the running game. Croom often cites that the Lions wouldn't have a
successful passing game without Barry Sanders. DuBose's response is,
"we don't have a Barry Sanders..."
DuBose also apparently talked with Mike Riley, HC of Oregon
State and former Bama teammate. Oregon St tried to open up its offense
last year from its previous year, attempting about 40 passes/game in the
Pac-10. Yet, Oregon St was 3-8 last year not much better than the 2-9
previous year. Riley told DuBose that Oregon St will work on improving
its rushing game this year. Riley also mentioned that when he was OC
at USC under John Robinson and the year they won the Rose Bowl, the USC
offense had a 50/50 pass/rush ratio. He even mentioned that Spurrier is
now a 50/50 offense. And that is what he wants to establish at Oregon
St.
So DuBose has been warned about the risk of committing to an "open
offense". And DuBose is sticking to his resolve.
Nevertheless, here is my best interpretation of DuBose's rationale for
the "open offense" philosophy.
As long as the offense can control the ball, whether thru passing or
rushing, the results should be the same. The "run the ball, stop
the run"
philosophy that worked for Coach Stallings and Coach Bryant came when
football players were not as big or fast as today's players. What the
offense does shouldn't change how the defense is runned. A strong
defense is still the staple of a championship team.
Again, those are my words of interpreting DuBose.
* The Houston radio sports talk shows have been perpetuating the
rumour of Arkansas leaving the SEC and joining the Big 12.
I don't know what substance these radio guys have, but
let's look at some facts.
Arkansas AD Frank Broyles just recently announced plans
to upgrade the stadium named after himself from 43,000 to 73,000.
Arkansas has been enjoying fruitful financial successes since
joining the SEC. So is Broyles stupid enough to leave a proven formula?
The jest of the radio talk is that Arkansas has been hurt
recruiting-wise since joining the SEC. Texas was a bedrock
for Arkansas recruiting when they were in the SWC. And
since joining the SEC, Arkansas has all but lost exposure
in the Lone Star State. Some have argued that Arkansas has slowly
lost national competiveness in all its sports since joining
the SEC. And an argument can be made that the Big 12 is
just as, if not more financially successful as the SEC.
And the kicker rumour is that, Big 12 commissioner has the
ambition to expand the Big 12.
More as it develops.
* The next head coach most likely to join the SEC ranks?
Tommy Bowden of Tulane. Keep an eye on him. He gave Tulane
its first winning season in over 20 years last year as a
rookie Head Coach with a 7-4 record.
* The most probable next SEC head coach vacancy?
South Carolina.
* Imperial Palace Las Vegas apparently already put out some spreads
for some of the big games this coming season (as of 7/21/98).
Oct 3: Florida -14 Alabama
Nov 21: Auburn PK Alabama
So, should I take the next flight to Vegas and put money down?
Till next time, Mick Chang, out.

New and Notes From JP
Week of July 26th
written by: JP
Great news this week about our
1998 signees. Cornelius Griffin has qualfied. He passed all his needed
classes and will be eligible to play for Alabama this season. Phillip
Weeks will be partial qualifier. That means he'll have 4 years to play
3. He can practice this year but Phillip will be unable to play in
games. Also breaking news... Shontua Ray has been cleared by the
clearing house and will be eligible to play this year!
Many sources have told me that Tyler Watts is basicly living in
Tuscaloosa this summer, he is working hard with the weights and has been
throwing the ball well, but will need time to learn the routes,
receivers, and coverages, and that will take some time as with any QB.
Look for Tyler Watts to make a big impact this year.
Much talk around fans has been about UAB. UAB fans and officals have are
asking not to paut Alabama's name in the endzone when they play their
home games at Legion Field. Of coarse this means that Alabama would not
be able to have their name in the endzones when they play at Legion
Field this year. On the UAB side, UAB plays five games in the stadium
this season while Alabama plays only three, including the Iron Bowl
against Auburn on Nov 21st. On the Alabama side, Alabama will probably
bring more money to Legion Field and the city of Birmingham in one game
or two games than UAB could in all five of their games. When Alabama AD
University Bob Bockrath said he was unaware of the possible change and
didn't have an immediate opinion. ''I'd have to give it some thought,''
he said. ''You've broached a whole new issue.'' The Birmingham Parks and
Recreation Board are reviewing their options, which include a neutral
checkerboard pattern or the words ''Legion Field,'' with no reference to
Alabama or UAB.
Many sources also tell me that Shaun Alexander is in excellent shape.
Also many are saying that signee Sam Collins, could take over the slot
left by Chad Goss last year, they are saying he is catching everything
thrown at him. Alabama's 1998 signee Theo Sanders recently took part in
an All-Star Clinic in Montgomery. Theo impressed many coaches and was
said to be one of the best players at the camp. Sanders shocked coaches
with his speed and power. This comes as no suprise to me, I've seen Theo
in person and let tell you he is a man! The last word on Theo grades
were that he still needed is english core, but according to several
people Theo has passed english, but don't hold me to that. :)

Perception vs. Reality in
recruiting
I was dining in a restaurant the other day when the voices of two men
sitting behind me starting rising and falling, mixed with great
laughter.
It was one of those situations when the act of overhearing a
converstation could not be avoided for the simple reason that the volume
level was just too high. The topic of converstation was Alabama and
Auburn recruiting. Both men apparently were Auburn fans.
Their jocularity stemmed from the perception that Auburn recruiting,
largely dormant for the past two years, was in the act of taking off to
heights previously explored only by the Floridas, Michigans, and Penn
States or the world. Meanwhile, they asserted to each other through much
laughter that Alabama's recruiting, which has been a source of repose
for
Bama fans disheartened by recent on-field maladies, was on the verge of
collapse. The conversation sought to make heroes of the five men who had
given indication of their loyalty to the Tiger program, and the two
diners left the restaurant well-fed and in good spirits.
There is both truth and fiction to their position. Early commitments,
while not new to college football, are relatively new to the teams in
the
SEC. Under Gerry DiNardo, LSU has increased the number of early
commitments they take, largely because they offer a ton of kids who
attend their football camps. They pale in comparison to Penn State, who
by the time this newsletter is received will likely have between twelve
and seventeen verbal commitments.
What makes the situation more drastic is that Auburn didn't receive her
fifth public commitment until December last year. This obviously is a
result of Larry Edmonson taking over Recruiting Coordinator duties from
Lionel James, who proved a failure at the post. The effect of an
early-commitment strategy proves both risky and effective. The risk is
that the player making the commitment will be injured, suffer
off-the-field difficulties or fail to qualify, or worse---have a
terrible
senior season. The upside is that coaches can narrow their search for
players as the year progresses, and the public commitment of a few
talented athletes both raises the final opinion of the school's
recruiting class in the eyes of recruiting services and also makes the
fans happy.
The five Auburn commitments are defensive backs Decory Bryant, Randy
Vickers, and Phillip Pate, wide receiver DeAndre Green, and tight end
Robert Johnson. Of the five, Alabama was involved with only Green, who
will likely be a top-5 prospect in this state. Johnson, who will likely
be a top-15 player, was once recruited by Alabama, but not since Ronnie
Cottrell took over as coordinator. Bryant and Vickers are both excellent
athletes, but little is known about either. Bryant is a Florida player
and fits the mold of the typical Bill Oliver defensive back---good
athletic skills but not necessarily a household name. Vickers is from
Athens High School in Athens,AL., and was a big part of that school's
success last year. Neither were offered a scholarship by Alabama (nor
was
Johnson), but both have the potential to be contributors at the SEC
level. Pate is what is known in recruiting circles as a "Legacy
Pick", as
his stock rose partly because of the success of his brother Rob. Phillip
was not offered by Bama.
Strange as it may seem, Alabama is ahead of last year's pace as well.
Alabama did not receive her first commitment in 1997 until the week of
the Houston game, when Jerome (Kindal) Moorehead of Memphis-Melrose
committed to the Tide. Alabama's first commitment this year is from
fullback Jeremy Walker, who reminds many of former Tide great Kevin
Turner, except with better athletic ability. Walker will probably be a
top-10 player in this state.
So what does this all mean? Not much. Auburn will have a better
recruiting class than last year, possibly even a top-20 class
nationally.
Alabama should finish in the nation's top 5 again this year. It is not
yet clear how many early commitments Alabama will have in 1998, as
Ronnie
Cottrell is not very high on that concept. One thing is for sure---both
Auburn and Alabama will get their players, and those two loud restaurant
patrons will be disappointed if they are waiting for the bottom to fall
out of Alabama's recruiting efforts.

QUOTES FROM FANS, COACHES AND
PLAYERS
Bob Bockrath on Legion Field repairs being on time
"That's great news, I felt it would be done on
time."
Coach Mike DuBose on his first year
''When you come into a position with the support I had, you want to
please everybody, but you realize you can't,'' he said. ''We got faxes,
and a third wanted to run the wishbone, a third wanted to run the I, and
a third wanted to throw it. So you realize two-thirds aren't going to be
happy no matter what you do.''
Coach Mike DuBose on John David Phillips
''I think it is important that when a young man has been here five
years and done everything you want him to do, that he gets to play,''
Coach Mike DuBose on Tyler Watts
''He won't have the job given to him.''

The following is as complete a depth
chart for Alabama as I can think of. It
isn't what we had coming out of spring---rather, I believe this is what
it will look like before the BYU game. It is also not necessarily what
Alabama will have at the end of the season, and it does not account for
injuries.
