It would be baffling to me why anyone not already buried in the depth chart would even consider a transfer. Does it suck to lose the GOAT? Sure. Do you really think you'll get a better opportunity with another program compared to helping a new coach who put his last team in the natty put a new stamp on the program? If so, I might have a bridge to sell you.

maybe, but if I am a D guy, I do want to know who the coordinator is, and what alignment we'll be running etc. For most, there is very likely a good fit. For some D-lineman, it might not be.

I know the recruiting thing is the biggest complaint but there just isn’t a lot of good players in the Northwest part of the country. The state of Washington has had 19 4 or 5 star players the last 3 years combined coming out of high school. The state of Alabama has had 64 4 or 5 star players in that time span never less the 20 in a season. The state of Oregon is even worse with just 7 total in 3 years. The state of Idaho has had 2. If you want some better recruits you have to try and bring some California guys up there but most of those guys are more then 700 miles away from home if they are coming up there so you are gonna need to pay them some serious money and not sure Washington is doing that.

There is definitely some guys that might not fit in the scheme if he brings in his style of offense and defense so I don’t have a problem if in 2 weeks you realize your strengths don’t match with the scheme he wants to use.

One of the good thing is teams won't have a blueprint on how to play us. We haven't fooled anybody in a while. We've just had better athletes. But everybody pretty much knew what we were going to do. That will change with DeBor. By necessity he will have to be more creative to achieve the position Bama is accustomed to. He won't match Saban's recruiting success. He will have to do it a different way, but I'm looking forward to some fresh ideas.

We almost won a championship this year with Milroe sans a bad snap. Coach Saban said that last play had no throwing option to it. The play was designed to run to the left the bad snap threw it off. It made the right side of the offensive line look bad because they knew the ball was going left.

I will say again Michigan made every qb they faced look bad. Michael Penix may go in the top 10 in this draft but if they were basing it off of that Michigan game he wouldn't be drafted at all. Milroe made a huge leap during the year. I for one want to see the jump he can make over the summer having actually started a full year. One thing you can be sure of the locker will always pick the best player. They picked A.J over Star. Remember the players wanted Jake Coker in 2015 and the Coaches went with Cooper Bateman they quickly saw the error in that decision and went with Jake who won a NC. The players chose Jalen Hurts over Blake Barnett then turned around and chose Tua over Jalen. The point is the team wants to have the guy who gives them the best chance to win.

If Milroe comes back next year and has not improved and another player gives us a better chance to win I promise you the players are going to rally around that player. Milroe has been a great ambassador for the University. By all accounts he keeps his head down and causes no trouble. No police reports. No domestic violence issues. No crab legs stolen. Not sure why we would want a young man like that to leave. I personally don't want to face him next year with a offensive coordinator with some imagination. With the growth I saw this year I know he will be better next year.

watch this, and think about if JM really made progress this year. He really didn't, at least not in the areas that he needed to:
