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

[64Tide]

Heard AJ talking on his and Trent's podcast, and he said it well I thought. We just ran out of gas at the end of the season. I think our offense performed too poorly for the defense to keep their intensity.

Coach Saban always talked about perseverance, being able to finish. While this intangible is present, we don’t always tap into the right resources or do what we must to achieve it. Human nature takes over, in short, we don’t want “it “ badly enough. Yes we ran out of gas because we made too many withdrawals along the way and not enough deposits when the time was right.

We ran out of gas because of injuries.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

We ran out of gas because of injuries.

I agree with that, but we also had to play down to the last second with our starters to win games far too many times. That will wear on the starters over the season, and it will keep the backups from getting valuable game experience.

Yeah. Ran low. ..... Then out. ........ And when your whole offense ( qb) is getting crushed..........Play after play after play.....
And thats also a negative on nil....depth.....it will be hard to sustain.....if you can't control n finish games........

But ....its same for everyone....

 

[No Huddle]

I wish we would hire Lawrence Tynes as our kicking coach. That guy was money at Troy State. Even the defense respected him. That says a lot. Sorry it was TSU when I was there. I know we need more than a kicking coach but dang he was good.

There's difference between playing the game and coaching the game.

 

[No Huddle]

I understand that but when you listen to his philosophy on kicking, how to prepare as a kicker, and getting the team behind you as a kicker. He might be worth a look.

If I'm correct, your math is wrong. They're already paid for 2025.

Roach should keep his AHC title and move to linebackers coach.. Then hire a D line coach.. Problem solved..

Why you think Roach move to LB coach? We already have LB coach.

If Robinson leaves... Freddie was a great LB in his day.. he knows by experience..and he can still be the assistant head coach..

Yes it's the same for everyone, we didn't play to our potential. We maxed out during the historic run mid season and had very little left to finish season strong. I put this on players, more top 100 recruits than anyone etc. "I'll make my money win or lose, so why tax myself", NIL attitude. Welcome to the new world of college athletics....

SIr..... Did you forget about Chuck morrell?

Just my opinion, but I see Roach as the weak link on the defensive coaching staff…need an upgrade

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Another spot for DeBoer to backfill...

I know NFL player contracts are extremely complex and offer incentives for individual statistical accomplishments. But aren't NFL players also offered bonuses for every postseason game their team wins, in escalating amounts, culminating with a Super Bowl victory bonus? If so, does anyone know if universities are doing the same with NIL deals, to help reward team success and not just individual accomplishment???

They did in the 60’s. Announcers would always say, the winners get $5,000 per man, the losers $2500…something along those lines.

Based on what?

The article was about Christian Robinson, possibly leaving for Georgia.. I was saying if he leaves, Roach should assume his role.. Roach is already the assistant head coach.. Morrell is an LB coach, now...Then a serous D line coach come in.. I'm not advocating Roach being fired..
