Thanks for the link. Mike and Andre used to mash on that left side, and Glen Coffee was highly underrated.

Welcome. Mike knows what he is talking about.

The Millers Edge show might be the best. He has insight of the program and actually played. Some things he cant talk about but i respect it.

Yeah, I can hear it in his voice that he has concerns about Kalen DeBoer as a coach.

You got downvotes, but that's the impression I got. I think Deboer is a good coach but his choice to keep the line coach and OC will be his downfall. I personally believe you fix the Oline everything will be ok. I don't hate the scheme, but shuffling Oline most of the season, slow developing routes, running outside zone with fat arse lineman with zero splits is a disaster for any scheme.
Could the OC make calls to help? Absolutely. But it was evident to most when you need trickery to gain short yardage, you are in huge trouble. You can't out scheme getting your arse whipped at the LOS.

I couldn't care less about the downvotes. There are millions of Bama fans and not everyone is going to have the same opinion, so I get that.
i just got the feeling Johnson doesn't think DeBoer's scheme is going to make it in today's college football, specifically the SEC. You can tell he also isn't a fan of Grubb and seemed to think he doesn't know how to successfully implement a running game. He alluded to that is why Grubb got fired at Seattle.

The guy basically talked down the new talent, said he's pessimistic then followed that up by saying we can go on a run.
Basically ESPN fence sitting stuff talking from both sides of his mouth to hedge bets.

Well most of these same people had doubts about Saban after going 7-5. They always have their doubts then are the loudest to celebrate when it all works out

No need to allude to that. Mike Macdonald, the Seahawks HC, came out and said it. He said he wanted a strong running game and physicality, and the offense was going in a different direction than his vision for it. So, he made a move.
As for Johnson to say that this offense won't work today or in the SEC, there's two years of evidence that its been a struggle. Now, if it's been a bad fit personnel wise, which has been pretty obvious, or something scheme related, we'll find out. Hopefully the turnover this year via to portal will address the player scheme fit issues. Then we'll have a clearer answer.

Yeah, then you didn't hear it after the second year. After the last two years there are even more questions. Bad comparison.

Has this been made official yet? I thought there were reports that we were waiting on Scott Huff from the Rams to become available to bring him in as OL coach.

Did you even listen to what the guy said? LOL! Geezus dude, he said IF, IF, IF, IF they could get a running game going they could go on a run. IF, IF, IF. IF. Do you have any clue how "IF" fits into what he was saying? No way you listened to that all the way through. No way...
