🏈 🔥 Hot Seat 2025 / Coaching Carousel: OL Coach Kap and Alabama part ways

[BamaFan334]

Why everything always have to be a home run hire...... Just get a guy who can do their job. That alone enough will make me happy.

At this point, finding a guy thay can do his job is a homerun hire. Coaching circles are a joke really. It's probably as bad as wildcatting. One hit makes you a name, but then you can miss every other time and never strike again but keep getting jobs. USC and New England sucked the last handful of years, so what's the say about this guy? I'm literally asking because I have no clue.

Woes from the first two years……it’s asinine to me how some fans don’t give the dude credit for getting us the playoffs

Because there is zero effing consistency. You're an absolute fool if you think our line is close to it's potential or where it needs to be. Getting bent over on live television and being made to quit makes you foolish for giving this staff credit. Hey James Madison, Tulane, and Texas Tech made the Playoff too, so we weren't in rarified air. Even a blind squirrel can find a nut every once in a while. A program like Alabama should be a mainstay in the Playoff, and we have no clue if that will or will not happen, but it leans more towards not happening with the way we lose games.

Coaching is indeed a very close knit profession. I’ve personally seen guys fall all the way into an HC position based off of who they know. Seen others get blackballed for standing up for what is right and not falling in step, no questions asked.

Not sure if I've ever seen a profession that can fall upwards as much as coaching. I mean, working for the right guy gets you ten years of opportunities. A winning season or one star playing and those guys can sell fools gold to programs. Look at Commerce in Georgia. Hired the coach from Collins Hill that had Travis Hunter and felt he was a homerun hire because of one player and results from when he was in school. I watched that guy go 2-8 this year at a single A school and simply looked lost as heck when I watched from the sideline a couple of games. One stud player bought him recognition and folks think he's catch fire twice.
