Maybe they’re building a brotherhood of choking against Michigan.

I speak for my entire fanbase when I say: he will not be missed. I would rather have an OC that can consistently snap the ball and needs blocking help from the OGs and RB than one who yeets it into the backfield in a 10 foot radius

He's probably been getting death threats since that game. He needs to get as far away from Tuscaloosa as possible.

Classless fan from all fanbases engage in this ridiculous behavior. I don't wish ill on him personally, but I don't want to see him playing for us next season either. Good luck to him in his future endeavors.

What this means is Bama is unable to coach players up, so they just spit him out of the system.

Does your QB ever make bad throws? RB ever hit the wrong hole or whiff on a block? WR drop a pass?

Your viewpoint is pretty narrow... some guys aren't coachable. He's the only OC in my memory that has had this issue, and hasn't been able to correct it. Should the coaching staff have done something? Probably. Is Seth alleviated of the blame? No.

He was a consistently poor snapper. He didn't just do it on occasion like the examples you've provided.

You mean like this?

BATON ROUGE - With NIL deals, sports betting, and social media, pressure continues to mount on college football players.

Tiger fans took to social media after Sunday night's one-point loss, and some question if comments posted online are just the new era of college football.

"Many people posted about the game, and some fans took aim at the players for the loss. The most extreme posters made death threats toward players they thought cost LSU the game."

Didn't he start games for Bama for the last 3 years? Was he a good guard?

He didn't have the same snapping issues last year. It's honestly puzzling...

He was adequate by Bama standards. He replaced another guy who is talentless and played on roller skates but didn't have issues with snaps.

Did you watch any Alabama games all season? It wasn’t just one game. He almost cost Alabama the Iron Bowl but Milroe bailed them out. It happened numerous times a game.

Can and has he played guard before? I think OSU may consider him for a possible guard position.

This is excuses for staff. It seems they hung this kid out to dry.

Bama has the pedigree and money to get players. Is this guy a true freshman in his first ever game? How many years on roster? And no backup? You stated you’d rather have a bad blocker if they can snap well that gets your qb killed too.

And no other players on that oline who can snap? It all seems like excuses. And now the Bama hounds are out for this kids blood.

It just seems like a coaching problem to me. Either hom not being coached or not having/coaching backups if this player was uncoachable.

Your whole season came down to a center snaps but some say he’s had this problem (thus why their uncoachable comments).

Since it was so bad all the time yet Bama did nothing about it. No backup? No other oline who can snap? If so thats bad coaching. Coaching seems to be the problem but this kid was hung out to dry.

It absolutely was on the coaches. But no one here knows the extent or how coachable he was. He was a senior moved from guard, where he should have stayed. It’s sad if he was the best option. Don’t think anyone is out to hurt the kid, We all hope he finds greener pastures wherever he ends up.
