re: ESPN guy saying Bama OL coach heading west too...

I guess the obvious question is why do so many people NOT want to coach or play for Deboer?

Has nothing to do with Deboer and everything to do with being the first coaching staff to follow the goat. In spite of many saying their expectations are realistic, everyone knows the bammer fanbase will have their pitchforks out at the first sign of adversity.

How do I know this? Look at the logo by my name...we went through the same thing (remember a time when the only thing we won week to week was the meltdown?) and Mack Brown wasnt the goat or even the greatest coach we've ever had. The Charlie Strong years were truly awful and I can't believe some of those coaches are still coaching tbh, but the ones that are never caught on with another blue blood.

There are still coaches and players who want to be at Bama, but not like it used to be. Catching lightning in a bottle is hard to do.

I know bama has been intentionally trying to downplay & even phase out the tradition of “ the running of the gumps” as it’s not a really over all good look from a perceptional standpoint.

So?…apparently the new tradition is:
“The Running Away From the Gumps”
