📡 Alabama head football coach Kalen DeBoer’s staff criticized by ex-Crimson Tide star for failing Jalen Milroe - Sporting News

If true the coaches have to fix it.... that is on them.

Agreed, but as a player, he has to find ways to improve himself and that is such an elementary piece of it. Highly doubt "tells" has never been a point of conversation throughout his career.

The coaches have drill it into Milroe because it is putting your team at a competitive disadvantage if that is truly occuring. This would be part of self scouting and doing Quality Control on your own team. I have to think CKD has this built into his process. If not he is not the long term answer.

I have heard him say something like continous pursuit of continous improvement or something like that. I think this is a reference to a quality control process that self scouts tendencies.

I think I know the underlying issue here,

90 percent of the comments lack true context and are led by emotionality versus rationality? That's the issue and it's not underlying.

Here's an analogy; a tire on a truck.

It'll spin in the gravel, and it'll spin on a wet surface. It's a spinning tire but the two situations can't be held side by side and compared to each other.

OR: Saban/Rees/Milroe vs DeBoer/Sheridan/Milroe.

It's what's being unsaid, hence underlying. There is always a reason someone feels a certain way about things, it's the basis of which you build an argument or an opinion. Comments being made in the past support the now unsaid and underlying piece of it all. That better support my comment?

This coaching staff should be made to have a bare assed spanking, ON THE QUAD, with espn broadcasting it!

If this is truly legitimate, I'm at a loss since I taught 10U players last year, and continued to teach it at 11U this year, to not tip where they are running with their foot direction and how to come off the ball every single play the same (run or pass play). How does a D-1 athlete and what some consider a high round NFL draft pick not see or notice this, or have better habits? Can anyone that has paid attention verify or refute this?

I know back in the day that Bernie Kosar used to offset his feet, because he kept getting stepped on coming out from under center. I haven’t gone back and looked at him from last year or even this year, to decide whether this is truly legit or not. Maybe there was something to it, but I doubt it. It could’ve been more about not taking a false step like some tailbacks used to take when running iso.

Slightly unrelated note: I'd be interested to get your take on the interaction issue between McLaughlin & Milroe in '23 with the snap issues. McLaughlin leaves has no issues & wins the Remington Award for best center. Conversely, Milroe pretty much regressess to the point he shows that he doesn't engage well with his team during games (that's strictly my opinion). Any thoughts into what I am reading into it?

Pretty good observation and question.

“Seth’s snaps have been great,” he said. “I know that was a little bit of a concern. I think that had a lot to do with maybe the cadence or whatever. But so far, he’s been doing great.” -Ryan Day

I guess Seth was in his own head.

Maybe we should get out of the shogun, every play… especially last year..maybe use the pistol..

I know when I was a junior in HS, we had a center that couldn’t snap it back to me in gun if his life depended on it, but when I stepped under center, he was money. He was so much in his own head. My RG had to move to center in gun. I know Homer Smith MADE every interior OL snap the ball, both under center and gun. It was a pre-practice ritual EVERY practice, not just pre game.
I don’t know if Seth got in his own head, if the defenses clapped inducing some bad snaps, hearing issues, anxiety, or did Jalen and Seth just not get a long.
