🏈 Coach Cochran

[XXL TideFan]

In my opinion he is the best at what he does. Our injuries seem to be fewer than most and recoveries are quicker. No data to back it up, just a gut feeling. Just look around and take in all of the injuries around the conference.

I totally agree, minus HC hires over the years, I would put Coach Cochran on a top 5 list of all-time best coaching hires in a heartbeat

I hope you knocked on wood after you posted that about the injuries...

Any on notice Coach Cochran drop the F Bomb at the 58 second mark. It was right after Henry ran that 80 yard TD. Any one have any ideas why. He looked pissed.

I saw that, Saban looked unhappy as well. My guess is they were trying not to run up the score. Probably would have preferred if Henry ran 12 yards and fell down so we could run out the clock. Just my guess though.

As to Cochran's expletive, you can see Saban earlier in the play as Henry gets the sideline with his hands out in a "we're trying to run the clock out, can't you tackle?" gesture. Cochran's no dummy, was standing near Saban and picked up on it. His expletive as he walked behind Saban was a follow-on to Saban's concern that we looked like we were running it up.

I've seen Saban upset like that before late in a game when the offensive backups score, and I always note the contrast between the O and D backups getting coached up about "doing your job".

I like that about Saban, he isn't keen on running the score up. No need to go Oregon on people. Henry was going full throttle on instincts, cant blame the guy. Howard and Henry got their first TD's I believe in a Bama uniform, I know the commentators were both surprised at Henry's speed.

Two quotes, close as I can recall: "That cat can move!" and "That's a large man moving at a high rate of speed!" I can't help but think of Marcus Dupree when I see him, a head taller than a speedy cornerback, effortlessly moving away at a gallop.

Speaking of Dupree, his powerful running style led to notorious hamstring problems. That brought forth another quote I won't forget - "It's like putting a 409 in a VW - something's going to break".
