Agiye Hall - Coaching Failure

What an absolute coaching failure by Saban in regards to Agiye Hall.

It's just simply inconceivable. In the Spring game Hall stood out to everyone as a complete dog. He looked like he might be the star player on our offense this season. He made some truly incredible catches in that game.
At the time Saban said they were working on putting him in different positions in order to get him the ball more, because he was one of the most explosive guys on the whole team.

That was a YEAR ago.

Then for some reason, Saban decided to put him on 3rd string all season long. No reps whatsoever with the first team offense. Created a huge distraction. I suppose the intent was to destroy this kid's ego.

Mission accomplished. Fast-forward to the title game, and Saban decides to bump him up from third string, and essentially put the national title game on his shoulders. He looked timid, and scared out there. Afraid to mess up. Saban ruined this kid's swag. Crushed his spirit. And then said, "Oh shite. Sorry. We need you to go out there and bring home this championship for us." fricking bullshite.

Even in that title game, he was clearly the best receiver on the field after Williams went down. Bryce Young clearly trusted the guy as well. But he kept dropping balls because Saban destroyed his confidence.

This is 100% on Saban. The entire season, the WR rotation should've been between Metchie, Williams, Hall, and Brooks - with Bolden, Holden, Earle, Baker, etc all playing backup.

Once again Saban's refusal to play the best players ended up biting us in the arse. Hall should've been starting all year long with Metchie and Williams, with Brooks as the #4. In that scenario, Hall and Brooks would've been ready, and there wouldn't have been such a huge dropoff.

Instead, the game ended up relying upon Holden and Bolden - two shitty receivers who have no business being on the field for Alabama.
