told me Oatis didn't like how lax the new regime was. Said at away games, every minute was scheduled under Saban. Team ate breakfast, lunch, dinner together, and there were walk throughs, team meetings, and position meetings throughout the day. Said under Deboer the entire day is a free for all after breakfast. Every man for himself. And It showed, but hey, the players love the new vibe and music at practice.


It’s almost like 18-22 year olds need structure in their lives. Wild!

I really hate being chicken little, but when I hear this kind of thing, it makes it very hard. Every day that passes since Saban left fells likethis program is falling apart. Are there more Sabans out there who can raise a wreck from the depths and make it excellent again? Seems unlikely.

Let’s be real. Oatis didn’t like his playing time. Bottom line.

I don't think Oatis ever said otherwise. he was simply asked about differences

Said it here before but ran into Booker's dad at ATL flying out from the UGA game. Similar vibe of stressing the program was "very relaxed".

Personally I dislike the lack of structure

The road game structure is a problem.

I may be wrong but I suspect much (not all but most) of the "road game issues" will be solved in 2025 with Radio gone. It'll always be a great mystery why CKD kept trotting him out there but thank God, he's gone.

Why? Of course I was glad Bama beat them, but I always respected Tebow. Ppl can have their opinions about him but you could never take away his desire to win.

We can make fun of him, but he’s exactly what you want in a qb in regards of attitude and laying all on the line to win.

I respect Tim Tebow as well, just thought it was an interesting choice for Netflix to use that particular picture for their doc.

Really like what we got in Derek Meadows, too. He’s already enrolled in school and has similar height and size to Odom.

Meadows is high upside but looked pretty raw in his film to me.
