If Coker doesn't start and Cornwell gets the nod (since I don't see Saban starting a true freshman Barnett) Cornwell will not lose out to Barnett next year with all the game time experience he will receive this year, and Barnett is not going to sit the pine for the next 3 years, and we don't want Barnett to transfer out because he has so much potential, but Cornwell was a top QB in his class also. So I think the best thing to do is if he's able is to start Coker this year let Barnett redshirt get bigger get comfortable in the system and let him and Cornwell battle it out next year and whoever losses will transfer out...the problem is 90% of us Bama fans want the job to go to Barnett but I don't know about a true freshman Barnett.

You, as a coach, would be on about the same level as a Chizik.

Here is an idea. Why not let the best player, that provides the best opportunity to win games, be the QB?

if he starts BB then all upper classmen may transfer out next year and Coker graduates. That would leave us going into the spring with one QB on roster unless we get an EE. It would also send the message that NS and staff can not develop QB's and has to settle on a Freshmen who may be a better athletic but not ready yet to step in and be that game manager.

Good coaches try to win the most football games that they can. If Saban is afraid of upsetting teen-aged boys and allows their attitudes or thoughts to affect who he starts, I wish he would just move along to his next job.

NS has shown over the years that he goes with experience at the qb spot and that includes kids who have been in his system and can manage the game. Per the latest report BB the freshman was not running 1 or 2 today post coker's surgery.

so you are saying your ideas are the only ones that are correct? Is this what I am hearing?

I thought Coker's injury was minor and that he'd be back soon. Did it turn out to be worse?

If it was that easy Saban wouldn't have had a melt down at his pressed today

You are incorrect. Nick Saban has shown, repeatedly, that he plays the best available player at any given spot.

It's a novel and radical idea that has never been tried in college or the NFL before but, that is why he gets paid so much.
