Not trolling, but Bama’s wideout production seems to have really dropped the past couple of years since Williams and Metchie left. Maybe they just missed on some recruits.

This is another guy I called out years ago saying Saban needed to fire him. Saban of today keeps unproductive coaches around too damn long.

I have a feeling Bama fans won’t be upset with this

Shazz Preston just entered the portal. Does he follow Wiggins to A&M?

Might be the guy throwing the ball,or trying to throw the ball, to the isn’t a passer.

Wiggins is a good recruiter. I don’t think his receiver development skills are anything to write home about. That’s not to say he is a bad coach, though. It was probably time for something fresh for both Alabama and Wiggins.

I don't think that was the case but I was openly musing whether he had outlived his effectiveness as a WR coach at Alabama in the postmortem analysis from the Rose Bowl. His evals on WR prospects have been loaded up with busts lately. He inherited the God Mode WR room (Smith, Juedy, Ruggs, and Waddle). Metchie is basically the only high school WR commit in his tenure that has finished his career at Alabama as a highly productive receiver. The entire 2020 and 2021 WR classes busted out and transferred. The story is in progress on the 2022 and 2023 WR classes: Bond (seems positive), Prentice (less so), Hale, and Law. Milroe really needed that bonafide 1st round grade NFL receiver to be a security blanket much like what Cooper was for our last utterly deficient QB (Blake Sims). That guy didn't exist partly due to Wiggins missing in eval or failing to develop them once they arrived.

I don't feel like our receivers were a weak spot this season. If anything, they didn't get nearly enough opportunities to shine.

Hey Ryan. What you doing?

I don't know if Bama was about to fire him, but I do know if Saban wanted to keep him he would still be in Tuscaloosa.
