re: Jalen Milroe comments on BOB

feel like the only debate in 2022 was which coordinator was worse. My position was that Golding was worse but now I'm thinking that BOB had to have been toxic.

It wasn't. It was initial unpopular to criticize Bill O'Brien no differently than it was to criticize Pete Golding.

Now after years people understood and joined the parade but initially it wasn't accepted by the general masses here

You are delusional, my man.

Bama nation didn't like the HIRE of Golding on DAY 1. The big question was,... "who ?!?" Nobody had any idea who he was, and nobody could figure out why Nick Saban- the man that picks up the phone and gets who he wants would hire an absolute nobody out of fricking UTEP.

We all know the whiteboard wizard rumors but nobody in the fanbase was happy with the hire from day 1. It was during a time that Saban walked on water, and to that point nobody could question him about anything. If he hired the guy he must have been the best guy for the job, but as we all know now it was kinda the beginning of the Saban losing his unquestionable edge.

Meanwhile, say what you want about BoB, but he was a freaking NFL general manager and head coach, and had ties to the most influential people in the NFL. In college he was regarded as the man responsible for bringing Penn State back from the dead.

Comparing BoB to Peter tumbleweed Goldchode from nowhere UTEP is nonsensical.

Even though he was awful BoB had the chops to be the OC. Peter Goofnuts should have been selling peanuts in the stands, or collecting tickets at the tiltywhirl at the state carnival.

Agreed. They were both hot garbage, and all I can do in retrospect is think maybe Saban was thinking I've gotta find a couple guys that will stay longer than a year because his coaches were being poached so fast.

It really was the one thing that was able to bring him down was all the teams going after his coaches strategically. Jeremy Pruitt being the best example. He was nowhere near ready to be a HC, but to hurt Bama Tenn lured him away.

It worked.

If Pruitt stays and becomes Sabans Brent Venables then there really is no telling the death and destruction the two of them would have imposed on the SEC. (and instead of working in a High School somewhere Jeremy would be in his final years of tutelage under Saban and preparing to be the next HC of the Crimson Tide) What a disaster.

Pruitt wasn't so much a defensive savant as he was an ELITE talent evaluator. The man could flat out identify talent on film, and then he could go get them. Then what he lacked in some whiteboard quiz he made up for with aggressiveness. Third and Kirby became a thing of the past under Pruitt.

I hate Golding so much, but if we dont lose Pruitt Goldpuffs never happens so you'd have to say the worst thing that has ever happened to Bama during the Saban era was losing Pruitt to Tenn, and sadly Pruitt wasn't ready, and ratface accomplished exactly what he was trying to do. Bring Bama down a notch.

Nobody has ever taken on so many enemies from every direction, and been stabbed in the back as many times as Nick Saban and still climbed to the top. There will never be another Nick Saban. GOAT

Come on, man. They just made a stupid hire because they're stupid. Nobody is throwing around millions of dollars to "hurt Bama" and themselves too when, for all they know, Bama could just go hire a great replacement.

I mean college backup QB's make more than nfl starting QB's now, and Jimbo is being paid a billion dollars to kick rocks somewhere. We didn't understand how much money was behind the scenes when all this went down.

You dont think a rival school that hates your guts would pay a few million to hurt your program and possibly gain the secret formula even if that coach isn't ready ?

Don't forget the turd brought his idiot buddy Doug Marrone as oline coach with him and the guy lasted one year and ruined the offensive line.

Fulmer hates Alabama with a burning passion. We should know this after what happened 22 years ago with the Memphis deal. Heck, Logan Young was murdered and the local cops covered it up. Tennessee hiring an Alabama coordinator to hurt our program is child’s play to them.

To give Bob credit for Bama's offensive output is silly. Brice basically took care of things on his own. We underachieved as a team.

The other thing is Bryce is a confident, grounded guy. He probably overcame alot of that slobs negativity.
We've seen the video of him telling Bob to f himself.
And we've seen him humiliate Mac on on the sideline.

I'll take Reese any day of the week over Bob.
