DeBoer and Byrne knew this before we hired him.

He should never have been allowed to return to Bama.

Seattle didn’t turn into a run first team when he left. They didn’t run the ball that much more in 2025 than they did in 2024. But they ran it enough where defenses were kept honest and weren’t laying their ears back and trying to kill the QB on every down.

The benefit of not having Grubb, plus the play calling was better in situational play calling

Im sure we dont get KDB if we dont give him full control over who he hires. Bama rushed the hire. The best coach isnt the best coach for Bama. Takes a special type of person for this job.

I'm not sure who would have been better on paper but everyone and their brother wanted Byrne fired for not "stopping the transfer portal bleeding" by hiring a coach fast enough and now everyone is complaining that he rushed the hire...
