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.
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.

Again, you're missing many other factors.
Think about this:
You have 1 OC who is a decent blocker, and decent snapper, but doesn't understand the protections well enough to make adjustments pre-snap.
You have 1 OC who is a decent blocker, and a suspect snapper. He understands the protections well enough to make adjustments pre-snap.
The pre-snap adjustment are critical for the OL, especially when you are playing a new QB. This is just one example. Nobody (Bama fans, or others) have true insight into this... but to simply claim that a guy who isn't performing is a 'coaching problem' isn't always accurate. Maybe there is something the coaches could have done, maybe they did all the could considering other factors that we aren't privy to. Seth clearly developed this problem this year. Either way, he won't be missed by the Bama fanbase. I shouldn't have to hold my breath pre-snap and hope for a clean exchange.
