I absolutely hated hearing Joey Freshwater was hired at Bama. The guy oozed of douche. And while I still think he's a silver spooned, arrogant prick. The guy knows some offense.

He somehow continued to get promoted over his head. He was younger than players he was coaching on the Raiders. It was ridiculous.

But he got ditched at the airport by his dream school. That was a helluva slap in the face.

I'm also pretty sure his wife never lived in Tuscaloosa. It was pretty obvious that something was off. His divorce really isn't surprising.

And while he's tripped over his own dick into success, the guy does know football. Enough so that Saban's cranky arse hired him to run his offense. And he hasn't disappointed. But now he's on year three, with another new Qb about to run things. He's really going to have to show his versatility.

As far a future HC success, he's in the best position possible. He's working for a genius. A coaching legend that will be talked about for decades. If he realizes his past arrogance, and becomes a humblish leader, the guy could go far. He's young, and has no ties. With his love of the spotlight, and his father's Florida connection, I'd be a little surprised if he didn't wait for a big 6 SEC job like Kirby. I doubt he'll take less than a power 5 team that isn't a perennial conference contender.
