This is as athletic as any play Hurts, Tua, or anyone else has made as QB at Alabama.


One of my favorite plays ever.
here are a few more

Sorry for the music, I didn't make it. My man was not running out of bounds. He was the closest thing we could have to Derrick Henry playing QB.

There ain't a Bama QB during the Saban era that wants to see Jacob Coker on the basketball court. I can promise you that. Always thought it was hilarious so many bird brains thinking he wasn't athletic.



Holy shite. I never knew people accused Coker of being unathletic. Are they blind? He may not have been the most accurate passer, but he was very athletic to even the most casual observer.

If we had Coker one more fricking year we don’t get run off the field by Clemson.

Seriously all Bama needed in that game was an adequate passing performance to win. Not all of it was Hurts though. Sark called an awful game. But that’s also because Kiffin was out so suddenly

Thanks for posting! I almost forget how great he was.

Glad to see the Coker love in here. He was a great QB for us. He played with heart. I still think if he had started the year prior we go back-to-back, but whatever

I was really surprised he never made a team in the NFL. Big dude with a big arm. I guess he was always more of a gamer than a guy who would wow you in practice

Offense wasn't the issue that year. Ezekial Elliot was. I think we may have taken them lightly, coming in with a 3rd string QB.

He would have been valuable the following year (instead of Hurts) but with the Kiffin departure? Who knows. We may have to lay that one at Saban's feet, because I'm sure Kiffen wanted to stay through the game. But maybe there was more to it.

We also didn’t use Henry enough. Dude was on fire for the 2nd straight bowl game in a row yet Kiffin refused to use him much. Imagine if Henry wasn’t used enough in 2015.
