It's the coaches fault Trey Williams never could learn how to block for shite!!
I know you are being facetious but I actually agree with this point. The same reason Trey Will "couldn't" block is the same reason he left early- he never got over the entitlement that comes with being a five star recruit. He never got the hunger to succeed, as he thought the NFL was a guaranteed option day one. College was the thing he put up with until they let him make his money.
If he would have gone to Bama (for example) he would have learned to block and be a better player. Year one he would have redshirted holding someone else's water, year two he would have been almost kicked off the team for his attitude, then year three and four he would have lead the SEC in rushing yards. They have a system for turning recruiting rockstars into real players.
Our current staff definitely has a problem keeping big egos in check. Tra the three star being a starter isn't really a surprise- he is the only one that had to earn his place every step of the way.

In insurance, it's what we call "adverse selection".
I'm not so sure it is the coaching staff's fault.
It's more just due to who WE are in the football landscape.
The reason we get the occasional 5* in the first place is because they're the 5* who WON'T wait his turn at a bigger-time program. They select us because they can play as fish or sophs here.
Then, due to the nature of the kind of guy who can't wait his turn, they end up being hard to coach and/or incredibly entitled.
Adverse selection.
Saban gets the guys who are 5* AND willing to wait and learn and then he makes them wait and learn, because he's getting first pick. He's picking THEM instead of the other way around.
