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

[ElephantStomp]

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.

Are you failing to read? I simply said he got us to the playoffs, that’s all I said. I didn’t say we need to improve on some things just that he got us there

I've accurately assigned the "Humanist" label to you so this seems like something you would understand. Quickly, in fact.

In the world of actions and consequences you'll agree that "your world" consists of pretty much what you make of every circumstance. In this "world" you've just witnessed 15 case examples where, in all 15, fans have chosen to begin their week (Sunday's) with twice as much energy focused on the negatives.

Around the halfway mark in this season I pointed out "energy vampires; " that's not the lack of a better expression. It was a comment on how fans were allowing the fun to be drained from their season and they were the ones pulling the plug.

With all that in mind, is it asinine or habitual?

Habitual would be a better way to say it yes.

Right...... The chance to work at bama is such a positive. .....

But not hearing lots of stuff about KD being turned down on jobs

So. ...... Sure .......he has done his homework on guy. And putting it all together.

If anyone knows whats at stake. .... its him
Or better ....
Fuse getting..... much.... shorter

I'm not trying to be funny or anything. When I was reading this... this reminded me of guy I knew. He would talk exactly like that and we would have to wait for him to finish his thought before we would respond back.

"I.... think... we.... should.... go ..... to.... the... ....movie... movie..... t... t.... ton.. tonight. "

Maybe the problem in all of this is the fans and their high expectations.

Ex-Patriots coach lands 1st job since mysterious New England departure

A former Patriots coach has landed his first gig since his mysterious departure from the team in 2023.

USC is hiring former New England Patriots offensive line coach Adrian Klemm, according to CBS Sports. According to the LA Times, the Trojans are hiring Klemm as a defensive analyst.
The move marks Klemm’s first job since his unusual departure from the Patriots organization. Klemm stepped away from the team during the 2023 season while dealing with a “major” medical issue.
Klemm’s leave of absence lasted through the end of the year. The circumstances of his health issue have not been reported. Assistant offensive line coach Billy Yates took over for Klemm during that period.

That following offseason, Klemm was one of multiple assistant coaches who did not return to New England after the team parted ways with Bill Belichick.

Klemm’s brief tenure as offensive line coach was marked by issues. The Boston Herald reported that Klemm confronted Patriots director of player personnel Matt Groh “early in the season in a loud exchange that reverberated through the organization.”



Klemm had been a highly sought-after assistant heading into 2023. The Patriots reportedly made a strong push to hire him away from Oregon, where he had coached offensive line.



New England initially interviewed Klemm for their offensive coordinator position before reportedly giving him a hefty “pay raise” to pry him away from the Ducks.



Klemm started his NFL playing career as a second-round pick in 2000. He played five seasons in New England before spending with with the Packers and Raiders.

This is all speculation. I don't know jack. I've googled his health issues and you have former players, coaches saying its' serious and that alone tell me he was very ill. So that explains his absence from Patriots. By the way, When Mac Jones was the QB, when he was playing well... That was Klemm's OL that was protecting him. Something to think about.

Are you failing to read? I simply said he got us to the playoffs, that’s all I said. I didn’t say we need to improve on some things just that he got us there

I read just fine, but on the other side of your mouth you're talking crap about fans that "aren't happy with just making the Playoffs", yet you're saying you think things need to improve. I think everyone would freaking love for DeBoer to work out and bring the program heights we want. But when you look at the line coach's stats, a change was necessary. I'll say it again, getting bent over in the Playoffs isn't what I deem being happy. The sole reason we made the Playoff was because we were Alabama, no other reason. We got blown out by Florida State, lost at home to an offensively inept Oklahoma, and then blown out by Georgia. We aren't making the Playoff if our name was Vanderbilt. That doesn't make me happy, not should it you.

 

[BamaFan334]

Maybe the problem in all of this is the fans and their high expectations.

I mean, anyone that wants to see success should have mediocre expectations? We pay Top 5 money and should not have high expectations? You expect financial compensation from your job based on the level of work you provide them, so are you willing to accept less from them if they told you your expectations were too high?

Kllemm was in a bad situation at New England.. for some reason, Bill Belichick took Patricia and made him an offensive coordinator.. one of the best defensive coordinators in the NFL was thrust into an experimental offensive coordinator role...That should've never happened... Ended up being a horrible career move..

He should've stayed there , instead of going to the NFL..Because the crap show at New England (then) screwed things up...It really set Patricia back, trying his hand at Ocord..

yes daddy.

 

[24and7]

yes daddy.

... who knows he might've ended up a head coach..

 

[24and7]

If KLEMM is the guy... I wish him the best.. Maybe he will get us back to the promised land..

Not unless he is actually going to run with the ball.

SImple. If fans haven't ever heard of [insert name here] then [insert name here] has to suck.

Is the ink dry on his contract?

Is the ink dry on his contract?

Meaning has he signed yet? Or you getting at something else here?

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Has he signed

I know he's accepted the position... not sure if he's "officially" signed yet... I'd lean no, as that usually takes some time. Sometimes they will. sign that an agreement has been reached, but the actual contract comes later. But he's in the fold.
