He looks like a hybrid McElroy/McCarron/Sims.

Good moves, athletic runs, Sims like.

Nice toss on intermediate throws (needs to soften some) and out of the backfield, McCarron like.

Couple of nice blocks thrown for the runner downfield, took some unnecessary sacks, McElroy like.

I think he could do well for Bama next year if he picks up the offense and the Oline improves.

I'm not concvinced that he will be as good as everyone is saying he is.

Big arm and athletic ability is there.

Footwork isn't. Gets some passes batted down.

Saban/Kiffin with 4 months can help him a bit, he's clearly extremely talented, Kiffin will do wonders with him.

Dumbass can you read ? I said he would not go there is someone else emerged af ST. You can place restrictions on transfers, remember your former BB Player that wanted to go to UAB, ended up at NC.



Man, I'm mad that you singled me out for that as parkjas2001 pointed it out too. I'm feeling the love.

Regardless what I wrote still stands. He will be at Bama and he will start.

And once he graduates, Jimbo and FSU have no control over where he transfers.

You seem so sure, why don't we ban bet that Coker will be the starting QB come WVU? Loser leaves town?

Has this even been confirmed, except for the questionable "sources" from ESPN?

This thread is becoming much more entertaining than I would have imagined.

He has a good track record with QBs. At USC other than this past season, all of his QBs looked good, and he made Crompton look competent.


He's a good QB coach/OC, a shitty head coach.

Isn't this how Auburn gets their QB every year....

So we can scour the MSB and find tons of Bama fans that don't think Winston is that good, yet Coker couldn't beat him out and Bama fans think he's great. Makes sense.

He's never actually coached QBs in his life.

Didn't say he wouldn't start, just if he goes to bama things did not go well for them in ST.

FSU has no good backup at QB

I trust Jimbo on QB's. We will be alright at back-up QB.

Interesting.... a FSU and Bama fan?

What do you think of Coker transferring and do you think he'll do well at Bama?
