He didn't do anything to develop Hurts and he noticeably regressed.
I have no interest in rehashing the Jalen Hurts situation or bashing a great Bama guy.
Daboll was getting guys open and wanted the best QB to play. It’s not his responsibility to force a project RPO QB to become a championship level QB when a future top 5 pick is sitting on the bench ready to unlock the entire playbook and the 4 future 1st rd WRs who were waiting in the wings.
Daboll wasn’t the best we’ve had but he sure was better than the stats because of the situation he was put in and the constraints he had on him during his time here.

One thing...completely unfair to him...that handicapped Applewhite was the loss of an All American center, another starting offensive lineman, and Glen Coffee for several games due to the textbook scandal.
Agree… would also say that the talent level across the board was nowhere close to what Locksley or Sark had for example.

Applewhite
His offense was pretty damn good until the team decided to quit after the LSU game. Also, he didn't have the luxury of calling plays for guys like Julio, Amari, Ingram, Waddle, Tua, Bryce....

How do you have Rees over Locksley? Locksley had a high scoring offense and had his starters resting by the 2nd quarter in SEC play.
Locksley was a one trick pony with 4 first round (and one Heisman) WRs, a top 5 pick at QB, a dominant OLine, and a stacked RB room. When we ran up against a team that could stop the RPO, we couldn’t adjust.
Rees doesn’t have anything even close to what we had in 2018. Our OLine was average to decent, our RBs were good not great, our QB is an athlete that can’t read a defense and throw the ball far but couldn’t hit a checkdown or crosser to save his life, our WRs almost always had someone open but the QB couldn’t process things fast enough to find them. Rees is 31 with 4 years experience as a play caller. Locks is 54 with almost 20 years of experience.
