In.

Wish AJ could've had a year in it with Junior Cooper.

15-0

Records

$$$

Rings

Shout out to Blake though, one of my all time favorites.

Interested in seeing it with a different QB.

I love the offense and the aggressiveness in the passing game, even in the Sugar Bowl. That aggressiveness executed well puts the opposing defense on it's heels and opens up the run game... Hell it lets Alabama do pretty much what ever they want. Just gotta fix those turnovers. Mercy, Bama was a turnover machine in 2014.

Love it! So much better than that Nussy offense. Cant wait until we get some good interior play to open up even greater things.

I like the principle of it. I think, if we have a more consistent performer under center, we will see what it is truly capable of doing. I could see a 550yds/gm and 45-50pts/gm. I would love to see us let off the gas and cruise to 40 point wins.

Not a slight on Blake, but he was inconsistent at times.

Put me in the like it category.

Most bad plays, IMO, were more a result of not executing, not necessarily play calling (see Seattle, last play, Super Bowl, pass on 1 yard line.)

You think we would've won more games with AJ...I might be in the minority but I don't think so. Lot of sacks got dodged by Sims and his deep ball is better than AJs.

Maybe it was execution, but Kiffin's got to do something stop the 3 and out droughts that we had this year. They were momentum killers and put a lot of pressure on our defense.

I like it for the most part, but there were times when we could and should have run the ball more. Kiffin probably learned from those situations, and I expect our offense to be just as good in '15 despite losing several playmakers.

I'm hoping the run game issues were because of the O-line, and that it is fixed next year.

I love his approach. Have since he was at Tennessee. He is definitley prone to 1-2 stinker games a year though.

I think we would've lost more games with McCarron. ..

I like it better than the Nuss offense but not quite as much as the McElwain offense.

I do wonder what Mac's offense would have looked like with 2014's O-line though. Those guys as a group weren't in the same league as 2009-2011. Would have seriously effected how Mac calls games.

meh, needs to understand the greatness of a devastating run game and its effects on a defense. dont be scared to punish a defense with the run game, especially when the pass game isn't doing what it needs to do to win the game.

Not sure we had much of a devastating run game last season against good front 7s.

He does have a tendency to get cute at times, but it works more than it doesn't, so, is what it is.

There is no doubt the guy can coach up QBs though. Excited to see the improvement of Coker, Bateman, Cornwell and eventually Barnett.

I think our redzone offense was the best it has been under Saban, of course some of that could be due to Blake's ability to scramble. Under Nuss and McElwein, our redzone offense was not what it should've been.

That said, for a few years our offense has strayed from the "take what a defense gives you" mentality. If that calls for a boring, 9 play drive full of runs, then so be it. Would like to see that mentality come back.
