Oh I get it. It just blows my mind that anyone would stick with such a player/agreement well after the point where his leverage was at its peak (Saban retirement transfer portal) when it is clearly to the detriment to the team and the coach’s own career. It’s like a suicide pact. How could anyone complain if Milroe got benched after his atrocious showing against Tenn? OU? That is what doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. What could he possibly do? Tank our season? Already happened.

I agree. There are things that don't add up or make sense. It's just weird and frustrating.

First, this defense was better than last year's defense. Second, Rees made halftime adjustments. It frustrated me that he always waited until halftime, but he made them then and they worked. Sheridan did not make halftime adjustments in any of the 4 losses this year. You ran the same plays all game long to no effect.

The other team practices, too. They are coached, too. If they have a plan to stop what you are running, you have to adjust to what you are seeing. Coordinators who cannot do this fail no matter where they go or who they coach.

My only thought is, were we running the only plays our QB could execute, thus making any adjustments futile?

He was the same QB last year, and the adjustments worked.

My football coach in Huntsville use to say, "You have to have the won't to." (that was how he pronounced "want to").
I'm not sure that by 2023, Coach Saban had the "won't to" any more.

Definitely not. His intensity compared to his glory days was way off.

Definitely not. His intensity compared to his glory days was way off.

If GMac had tried something like this in 2008, younger Coach Saban would have said, "That is not how we do things here. There's the the door. We will do what we can to help find another place to play, but you are done here" (but probably in saltier language).

Pretty absent minded............but UGA did the same during Bryant's time when Bama beat them 35-0

That’s pretty pathetic.

Hopefully he works on this before his next start for his next team.

Here's one for you guys to ponder

Please, please, please!

Milroe has thrown 4 TDs in the last 7 games… and 2 were against Mercer.

Yeah, but he had that fire in his eyes.

 

[Evil Crimson Dragon]

Yeah, but he had that fire in his eyes.

Fire went out pretty quick

 

[REBELZED]

Yeah, but he had that fire in his eyes.

Sure, a dumpster fire

Here's one for you guys to ponder

Please, please, please!

the narrative that Riley turned Jalen Hurts into the player he became is just annoying.
Having said that, I have no problem with milroe going to USCw.

Yeah, but he had that fire in his eyes.

first guy in the building and stuff

In the military there are leaders and medal seekers in leadership roles. Milroe is the latter and tries to mimic things that leaders do.

 

[CB4]

Yeah, but he had that fire in his eyes.

All we needed to do is “continue to pour more into him” and “do a better job as a team around him”….

This seems rather plausible.

Yeah, Riley took credit for something he didnt do.............Hurts still identifies with Bama
