Yes, coaching in general there is a lot of moving around. However, in this situation he's turned down Alabama at least three times (maybe more) between Saban and DeBoer. That just gives off a perception of there something about Alabama that he didn't want any part of...we'll see.

---

I get what your saying but you are assuming it was something about alabama he didnt wanna do which may or may not be true.

he turned down Saban to stay with a coach he has been with for a LONG TIME. Was familiar with him and had much more control over what the offence looked like vs something brand new, a coach that can be hard to work for, and an offence that he wouldnt have near as much say with.

combine that to the option to go be a OC in the NFL in a city his family lived in already vs again taking over a new school after a legend. I dont fault or blame him one bit and I think most men would see it the same.

sure there is a pattern of him not coming here but there is no reason to assume that has something to do with Alabama and there is nothing factual out there he has stated to support such an assumption.

Just my 2 cent.

What are you talking about? I didn’t say he was Joe Montana over the middle but I do know 100% sure that 90 receptions from 2 receivers was not all outside and go routes. I also know 90% of the TE catches were over the middle.

In no way am I defending or even praising Milroe on his passing ability. My point remains when you have 10 catches in the year and 50% of those are pop passes MAYBE your production has something to do with YOU.

I will never understand the LAW mentality. Dude was an amazing athlete but not a great WR and obviously couldnt or wouldnt switch to RB. He had 3 years in the program and production was about the same all of those years.

sure you could scheme some gadgit stuff for him to try and get him the ball more in space but at this point he is what he is. Can say we "didnt get him the ball" but as a WR you also have to GET OPEN more to have those chances. We get the other 2 starting WR the ball and targets all year so its not like the coaches tried NOT to get him the ball.

Im not bashing the kid at all, Id love for him to stay but people see him as David Palmer somehow when in reality he is a great athlete trying to play WR.

So insummary, We lost a In-State 4 star RB and replaced him with a 3 star out of stater - that does not sound good.

---

In summary we actually replaced an instate undersized change of pace guy that didn’t play rb much in HS with a complementary back that did and has pretty good film at the position. A side note is he is actually a 4* on some sites.

Besides why are we fretting on a guy that clearly didn’t want to be hear most of the season?

Yeah I watched his YouTube highlights. He doesnt look very impressive at all. I'm just being real. Turbo Rodgers is much better

---

much better at what? RB? Turbo has 255yds rushing this year and has played much more WR then RB.

if you think he is much better as a flex type/3rd down/WR then sure. As an actual RB its hard to say he is "much better" based on film and the fact he hasnt really even played RB much this year.

Having said that, at the end of the day Im sure the staff would prefer to have kept or keep him since he has been commited but if he doesnt plan to come here then find someone else that does and can fit the role needed. We have a bigger version of Turbo already on the team in Law and we dont seem to really use him much either.

You have no idea what you talking about. I watched this kid in high school and he had “it”.

---

LOL so he looked good in HS (like all the kids that get offered by bama) means he will have that same level of play in college against elite competition.

I dont think YOU know sports very well (as you put it)

You are speculating. He was a freshman so the notion that he wasnt hacking it at his current spot doesn't make any sense with it being his first year. Also he wasnt the only guy moved. C. Leary was moved there as well. Reggie Ragland was a starter and spent some of the spring at TE when he was here.

---

haha so you proved my point. You think if Leary didnt move to RB for a small while his outcome would be any different? And Reggie fits my example of sometime its not just about athletic ability. He obviously had more going for him then just that.

Most of these kids played multiple positions in HS so moving him around for a SHORT period of time isnt something out of the blue for them nor does it all the sudden stunt their growth at a single position. Hell Smitty worked at CB for a period of time as well, didnt seem to stop much of his growth at WR did it?

He can’t be everywhere at once. I’m sure he’s not coaching up special teamers on rudimentary shite. I think this year above many others we had poor positional and situational coaching.

---

I don’t believe that for one sec. You can’t get where he is today without knowing EXACTLY what everyone is doing all the time. Plus his controlling personality just wouldn’t allow that type of oversight.

I am Born and raised in fort Walton. Graduated from FWB high in 96. Crestview is a lot nicer then it use to be that’s for sure lol.

Nolan Smith???

I read it more as him saying US as in UGA. Meaning he laughs that they are gonna beat bama all 4 years and will then just lose to UGA.

could be wrong thats just how I read it.
