re: Alabama Hires Patriots' TE Brian Daboll as Offensive Coordinator

All season long, Saban repeatedly expressed his desire to get the passing game going better and get the ball into the hands of our receiving corp players. Saban loves explosive chunk plays as much as he loves being able to run the ball down other teams throats.

We had success getting the ball to the receivers when we ran the pro set. Saban expressing a desire "to get the passing game going better" was his nice way of saying that Hurts needed to improve.
