[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Sheridan, Wommack, and DeBoer will speak with the media around noon... I'll link the press conference(s) in the replies...

They better come up with a damn good game plan.
All of them failed last week!

Eager to hear what Wommack has to say.

He was a hard working player and took a lot of heart in getting in shape. We don't know what he looks like in practice and what goes on, so obviously you trust the coaches. However Freddie Roach has been a disappointment DLine coach since he's been here. I kind of question the development.

The last part is true. I'd add that while Oatis came in and showed a lot of potential, and his effort to shed pounds and get in better shape was impressive... the last few months he hasn't been real focused... nor has he been 100%. But he hasn't helped himself much lately. He came a real close to joining Golding at Ole Miss after Saban left (as mentioned before)... I'd keep an eye on them again this time.

He heard the fans

He heard the fans

Of all the stuff, it has been the dumbest shit I've heard all weekend... and I've heard it from people who are strangers, friends, and in 1 case, a big $ booster.

Also, Rodak is an unserious reporter like 75% of the other guys from the al.com tree. The other 25% mostly suck too, but at least they try.

I know this is a different staff, but I got a feeling South Carolina is in for a but whooping.

I truly hope so my friend. I hope these guys take to heart the loss & work every day to get better.

I dunno. Don't get me wrong; I'm certainly not giving up on this team, but Wommack has to prove to me otherwise. This cannot be a team where the main philosophy is to outscore the other team to win. This isn't the PAC 12.

Terry,
Are you going to get on Brandon's ass about AL.com like you did with me the other week? lol

People have been bitching because he doesnt wear a damn polo?? That’s some absolute dumb shit

If that is really true then he is not the guy to be at Bama.... Dude better not try and chase the way the wind is blowing by the fanbase. Losing proposition.

Only thng dumber would be if he truly listened and did this because of fan comments.

FWIW, Nothing to do with it. He’s always dressed nicer on Mondays…

I think we've just had a bad crop of DL lately, I know Roach definitely isn't helping things and with this being the situation I'd look for people like Justus Terry to be moving away from Bama more. I really like Roach and what he's done to keep things together and help recruiting but he honestly would be better as a recruiter only or maybe we just need to move on.

I mean, I look at the entire DL group and it's hard to find anything good coming from that group. Oatis among them, just all disappointments. Tim Smith was a 5-star extremely highly touted guy, but unable to do much of anything.
