Good for you. 
But if you call him answering questions attention whoring, I don't know what to tell you man. I'm certainly not gonna argue over it.

He's just always rubbed me the wrong way in all of my encounters with him and some of the stories girls have told me about him. It was partly why I was Team Sims back in 2011. I don't really have an issue with what he said, but not a fan of him expressing it. Reach out to the team and say they need more vocal leadership. It just sadly fits with the narrative to why he dropped so much in the draft.
Meanwhile Saban is making Hulk comparisons right now.

AJ is a grown man and certainly entitled to express his opinion. But as far as leadership goes, as others have indicated he has a lot to learn. Barrett Jones could have picked him up like a rag doll and body slammed him in front of God and the whole world, and most people probably wouldn't have blamed him. What kind of leadership would that demonstrate? Lying flat on your back as the whole world laughs and the entire Notre Dame team thanks you for somehow managing to provide a more embarrassing moment than their performance.

I would have. NEVER argue with the QB. He has the right call, you don't. Same as the "customer is always right" philosophy. If I'm the coach in that situation and it isn't the end of his last game, Jones heads right to the bench and stays there for a while. Same if AJ had been the Center and Jones had been the QB in that situation.

What AJ did on that play was the perfect leadership. He didn't say "Oh look buddy here is what the problem was, we cool?"
He yelled at him. He showed him up in front of the nation. We need someone willing to do that out there. JMO, but in typical ABDIW fashion, probably won't even read this thread again.

You don't get it. It's about leadership, and there's one fundamental principle: If the other guys aren't following, you aren't leading. The fact that Jones reacted the way he did is indicative of that. What you saw out of McCarron there was bullshite. Doesn't matter if he was right. Maybe that's part of why Williams indicated that, when questioned about McCarron's leadership, referenced his ability to be one way with the media but different with the team.

If McCarron's leadership had been perfect, the incident never would have happened. Jones would have never dared to do what he did.

AJ is FOS, if coach Saban was calling the shots we would have kept running the ball in the 3rd and 4rth quarter when our drives were stalled by passes and option reads.

The "leaders" comment is pretty rich. If only we had aj back to "lead" the offense to another blowout against OU 
The offense went from being the toast of college football to having everyone line up to run their mouths off in two weeks. frickin' A.

Heck, the way I see it, we didn't run the ball enough. The Ole Miss D dropped back in a zone on almost every pass play and Sims was having a hard time finding the open guy.
Besides the two turnovers and the holding call, the two biggest plays were 2nd and 4 or 5 in Ole Miss territory where we decided to pass instead of pounding it to get a 3rd and short, at worst. Both were incomplete and then 3rd down was incomplete.
Yeldon was having his best game of the season. He needed more touches.

This.^^^ I agreed with Steven A. Smith this morning.
He called AJ's comments about Coach Saban,"betrayal".

AJ was always pretty immature in certain regards. I think we all knew that. He definitely needs to shut up. Without Saban and Nuss, he isn't in the NFL.

Agreed. He's always acted like an entitled little punk. He needs some hard knocks- maybe to have to work for a living to support his barnette will be just what he needs. I'm not holding my breath though since as a former Bama QB he can have an insurance agency handed to him.

Saban said on the "Hey Coach" show that he has never handcuffed an OC before. And if you believe that i have some ocean front property in Tennessee to sell you.
Posted on 10/9/14 at 8:55 pm to chattabama
I don't think any sane person would believe coach hasn't done that.
The difference in playing calling against Florida compared to that against Ole Miss? I refuse to believe that was Lane Kiffin's idea.
I hope this gets Saban to let the reigns loose and allow Kiffin to do his job completely.
