Did you ever imagine Freddie Kitchens would be an NFL HC?

For those gen x and older Bama fans, back in 1996 or 1997 did you ever even think it would be possible Kitchens would be an NFL Head Coach? I’d bet anything that probably never would of happened. I remember Freddie in 1996 Tennessee game and 1997 Auburn game.

Absolutely not. I thought at best, he would own a little sports bar somewhere

Yea I thought maybe a high school head football coach and a Physical Education PE teacher on the side. Like at Hoover or semething. Tops.

No but I have hoped that he would become a very good coach that might want to return someday to UA. Not sure what kind of recruiter he'd be or if he's like it. I think Perkins would have eventually been a very good college coach but some coaches just don't like it.

Don't forget Pruitt. We're reaching USC level when it comes to coaches (Jeff Fisher, Andy Reid, and that guy with Jaguars).

Short answer, no.

For years, whenever we would have a standout qb, it was a reg joke to say, “well he’s no Freddie Kitchens!”

Freddie Kitchens similar to Snake Stabler.
Qb's, great high school pitchers, tough as nails, free spirit personalities, loved the parties, booze & ladies.
1967 Snake's run in mud to beat Auburn, 1996 Freddie's clutch drive & screen pass to Riddle to beat Auburn.
Snake led the Raiders to 1976 Super Bowl win. I'll be pulling for Freddie to get 1 in Cleveland. They've got a solid young team.

I remember when I was a student of JSU. Freddie got arrested by the JPD. He extremely drunk and was causing problems because one of the waitresses at Gatorz would not give him play....LOL
I am definitely surprised about NFL HC, but he actually had that moxie on the field that made him a winner. Strong arm, fat, slow, and a leader....
That's my take. I miss Brodie Croyle the most though...

I didn't, but I also knew the sport well enough to know that coaches tend to emerge from the most unlikely places.
Who knew that one of Coach Stallings' walk-on split ends would win two natty's as a HC, against his alma mater, who had the best HC of all time?
The game of football has a peculiar sense of humor.

Checking in . . .
And no - while I always liked Freddie on the field (and was at the game when he lined up *gasp* in the shotgun and drove Bama down the field to beat Auburn) - he never seemed like the cerebral head coach type.
I do wish him well though.
