Was AJ right? Was a majority of the team doo doo or is he just another JJ Redick/McDaniel?

I must have missed AJ saying that about the talent.......Holtz was a good coach but he also held very loose reins on team discipline and it shows. DTR filled in for this year but AJ has to improve QB for next year.

I thought Josh Jobe and LaBryan Ray were still in the NFL? And Bo Scarborough, who could never stay healthy in college, is still playing!

No he definitely wasn’t right. This team was picked as the odds on favorite based on talent by a good bit. Ex NFL guys on the team and former college stars.
Corral was awful to begin the year so they traded for DTR and he’s been better but the offense is still really bad.
Holtz brought in a lot of players he knew could execute his scheme and that was successful. This year there’s more talent and less anyone knowing what they’re doing and we’re likely missing the playoffs

I watched half of the game Sat and turned it off. I am done for this season. Maybe next season will be better. The dynasty is officially dead for now.

Skip Holtz has coached football longer than AJ McCarron has been alive and Skip was the son of a man who won a national title as a head coach in college football too.
The team probably underachieved but they also had a head coach who had never been a coach at any level until the first time he walked on the practice field with the Stallions. Not a big surprise things didn’t go as well as they did with the man who had more years as a head coach than AJ’s playing career even if you counted high school, college, and pro.

Giddy-down. Stallions are done according to Bham rag.

They’re going to move to a city with 20-30k more capacity and have about 5-6k more in attendance after year 1.

If they really wanted to keep a team they would have built a domed stadium off of 459.
They would have had a lot more fans attend.
Nobody wants to sit in an open stadium in downtown anymore, especially in the summer and early fall.

Nobody in Bham wants to see mediocre B league football, when we already have two SEC teams in a state that prefers college sports to pro. I don’t think a dome would make much difference.

The problem is UFL can move to a city with 3x the population of Birmingham metro and a stadium with 2x the capacity and after the first game or first year at most, they will have average attendance maybe 1.5x the Stallions if even.
This is about UFL needing every single ticket extra sold they can get or getting a better deal from the next host city. They’re not seeing dramatically better attendance.

They supposedly were getting to use Protective for free. The league is going to die because Repole doesn’t know what he’s doing.
He promised better scheduling and promotion. The scheduling was dog shite and the only “promotion” was a Gucci Mane concert at halftime of the 1st game(blowout) that no football fans care about.
He’s a dogshit owner. The only silver lining of the Stallions leaving is I can actively cheer for the league to fail now.

The next Birmingham football program to go should be UAB.

Repole had an agenda from day 1 to get the hell out of Birmingham.He got rid of Holtz so the team would suck and attendance would tank so he could justify a move. He is a lowlife scumbag.

IMHO I believe you are right. They were determined to tank Bham Stallions. Not going to list ever little thing, but I saw some odd things take place that really don't add up. Even some of the injuries seemed vague. But getting rid of Holtz was unexplainable. He was the most proven coach in the UFL.

They were lying about our attendance numbers(which already weren’t great) and I believe AJ called them out on it during one of his press conferences.
Regardless, UFL is a TV product and Birmingham was their #1 market.

LOL...domed stadium talk and Birmingham go together like PB&J.
Moved from Bham 25 years ago...it was a big topic then.
But without a signed contract with an actual major league sport team, it would be financial malpractice.

Montgomery being vocal to UFL they want the Stallions, LOL. That would be way worse than Bham. No one in their right mind would choose Montgomery over the large cities they are looking at.
