[quote]T arnold had a 4.51 40 yard dash. Thoughts? [/quote]
It means that he ran slower than some of the other elite corners testing at the Combine. This may mean that teams that put a lot of emphasis on speed (the late Al Davis comes to mind w/r to receivers) might grade him somewhat lower now.

Good point. I'm not a connoisseur by any means, and that's an understatement (to put it mildly), but my guess would be yes:
1. If it's true that KDB's system is about making use of the strength of the position groups, then we have a running back room that appears to be loaded with talent. There'...

Kirby Moore is OC and QB coach at Missouri.
Bring this guy to Bama, plus Mizzou's OL coach, Brandon Jones: [link=(https://www.si.com/college/missouri/football/how-a-struggling-mizzou-offensive-line-transformed-to-a-joe-moore-award-finalist)]LINK[/link]...

As a fan it's annoying to see a well-respected coach who (a) just committed to coming to Alabama, (b) decide to leave our team already within a matter of weeks, thereby (c) creating a lot of uncertainty that we just thought we'd left behind (at least the portal is closed, right?).
Having said that,...

With Wommack and Inge as our LB coaches we should be fine.
Most of all, I'm excited about the D because of Wommack being our DC. Here's a more in-depth analysis of his defense: [li...

KDB is such a good coach that Bama will remain elite. However, Saban's GOATness should never be underestimated. His greatness as a coach became even more clear in the later years, after Sark and Pruitt left and Bama got stuck with inferior coordinators.
I know these were Saban's hires, but that's ...

I'm excited about Wommack. Young, agressive coach, lots of upside.
On the whole, I'm very happy with the changes to the staff on defense. We've lost a LOT of talent and experience on D to the draft and the portal, but the new DC and coaches look very good.
I don't want to be negative about Ke...
