Alabama, where you make the playoff with a first year starter at QB and want the OC fired.


It took a miracle to beat 6-7 Auburn.

We scored 24 vs Texas

We scored 17 vs South Florida

We scored 24 vs Ole Miss

We scored 26 vs TexasAM

We scored 21 vs Arkansas

We scored 27 vs Auburn

We scored 27 vs UGA

We scored 20 vs UM

We scored actual elite offensive points vs Middle Tennessee, Miss St, LSU (worst defense ever), Kentucky, and Chattanooga

This was the worst Bama offense since a different era of football where the RB's were leaned on, and the defense was expected to win championships.

I'm in the Rees and Milroe both weren't good camp, but Rees is the one paid to make adjustments and figure out a way to use the skillset of the players he has and he did not do that... at all.

When has winning at Auburn ever been easy?

Saban has spoiled a portion of the fanbase beyond belief.

Same here.

I will say that Milroe is also very well paid for a skill set that he did not deliver.

Milroes skill set consisted of chunking the ball deep. Hard to gameplan around that. I am still looking for all this athleticism he supposedly has but haven’t seen it. I guess that just means that he has good top end speed. Not quick.

A lot of times he would look like new born giraffe when taking off to run like when he fumbled in the last game.

He plays with blinders on. Intermediate game is horrible, can’t see the RB’s in the flats and at times honestly looked a little scared to run.

When you are told this is going to be your QB, exactly how do you game plan with this? Reminder, I think Rees is an awful hire. May have been a good OC at Bama 14 years ago however he was in high school then.

Saban’s handling of the QB situation from spring to fall and allowing Buchner to come in(huge mistake) is as much to blame as anything.

Question is what does Saban have the balls to do now? He absolutely will not fire Rees and Milroe will be the starter lest there be another ‘team’ revolt.

His adjustment should have been either find a way to develop another QB which he had not been here long enough to do that or just run the ball with the QB we had.

I would have rather seen Milroe under center handing it off as quickly as possible.

In the end Rees may not be the answer and yes it was frustrating that instead of having a solid game plan going into the game it seemed we had to rely on half time adjustments to pull out a win the majority of games this season. But Milroe is definitely not the answer and I do not think whoever the OC was could have helped with Milroe at QB.

I hope I am wrong because Milroe at this point will be the starter going into next season. The only way we have a chance to win is with a very dedicated plan that tries to limit the weaknesses of Milroe.
