I dont' think that's the case here. he's just chosen not to address this in public.
| FTBL Arkansas Week...
- Thread starter Brandon Van de Graaff
- Start date
But all along he has been speaking highly of them ... especially OC. In interviews
This time. Not so much.
Maybe nothing to it. But was interesting to me
I think you're just reading into it too much than it is. I think Saban is tired of the question. He get asked this every week.
Maybe.
It was definitely a different answer yhan before
I guess I have watched Nick for so many years he has me getting a message ... real or perceived.... with what he says and how he says it

He is much more transparent than people think. He usually states exactly what he means and in this case he is unhappy with the teamd performance and likley lays that at the feet of the coordinators.
Mando, I don't think that is not what he was trying to say in the conference this week. How do you assume that Saban isn't happy with coordinators based on what Saban was trying to say today? I don't get the connection between that.
The playcalling wasn't the issue this past weekend. What was the issue behind the offense?
1. Pre-Snap penalties
2. Turnovers.
3. False starts.
4. Lack of executions.
I just don't think he wants to throw the coaches under the bus during the season. I really think you took it wrong way.
Tonight's press conference...
Understand and no way to know for sure. CNS is certainly not happy with all the penatlies. He can't be happy with how the OL has played. Probably a stretch on my part to assume he lays all those issues on the coordinators.
He literally explained what happened with OL and the snap issues against Texas A and M. The players talked about it. It's a learning experience
We MUST have a complete game in all 3 phases at some point. That has not happened since the 2021 season. It must happen prior to a POTENTIAL SECCG with Georgia. This game has trap written all over it. With the payback game with the viles right around the corner, they can't get caught in the look ahead
Let's be honest, who called that Milroe pass play at the end instead of a knee? I happen to think it was a hurry up after McClellan's amazing bobble of fortune, but curious how mistakeslike that isn't on coaching? A quick knee does the exact same thing there. Not the end of the world thank goodness, but a point I personally feel a coordinator should have caught and not happened.
I just don't understand why everyone thinks this week is a trap game? I don't think this game warranted "trap game " label all over it.
This team is operating on week to week knowing they can lose the game. I just don't see it right now.
I've been struggling to understand why they feel that way. Maybe I'm missing something.
I thought it was Milroe's decision to throw. The playcall was to hand the ball. Milroe instead threw. This one is on Milroe.
Understood. I knew through @TerryP he had limited play calling abilities, but thought in that situation it would have been a coach's decision. Why run it there even out of curiosity?
Because a wide receiver was wide open at the top. Let me find the pic
Exactly. The coaches didn't have a way to prevent Milroe from throwing it because a run was called.
I know that, but a knee ends the game. There is zero reason to complete that pass. Miami made the same mistake, but paid for it dearly, unlike us. Funny how that same scenario and mistake happened twice in one game when I don't think I can ever recall seeing it happen once before.
I agree!
