🏈 🔎 Lookin ahead to Indiana (DeBoer Rose Bowl press conference.)

They've intentionally set aside some extra portal money for both OL and DL... we'll see how it shakes out. Those 2 spots don't come cheap, especially good DL. As of today, I think we'll see an change at OL coach too.

I don't know. But we will se

1 reason why I think we need DL coaching change - we don’t appear fundamentally sound. I can’t think of any time this year that I saw a d-lineman put his hands up & tip a pass. Stuff like that is TAUGHT.

I was surprised Saban never made the change honestly, but there was a thick layer of loyalty involved there... even enough to get Roach held over onto the new staff. I will say I thought there was some improvement there this season, but it could be better. Roach is extremely well liked by the players though, which is a bit like a having a life preserver for a coach.

Where did you see consistent fundamentals on either side of the ball?

Nick had his loyalty to. He liked the DC that went to ole ms ( Golding ) Thats all that matters. Who the Hc feels comfortable with and trust.
Sure KD is same. Regardless what we think.
But can be loyal to a fault where it ends like someof Shula s. Take you down with em

True. I was just pointing out one area

I love her .. but



Little overkill.

You mentioned a coaching change due to lack of fundamentals was why I was asking. I don't disagree but fundamentals overall were extremely poor imo so where do you stop with changes? Both lines of scrimmage and special teams were the worst, I wouldn't be sad to see all 3 of those replaced. I do think dl had some better games than ol or special teams did so if they kept 1I would think DL. I would love to see fundamentals as a priority.

I hate it was against alabama but I liked watching indiana play ball.

Indiana is a good football team. That being said, Alabama should never be beaten that badly. Talking to a friend (college coach), he told me this morning that bama works zero on fundamentals. After this game , I believe him. It is what it is at this point, spilled milk and all.

Hard for me to believe this. Gotta be some caveat here. I would agree they do not work on it enough but zero on fundamentals is questionable.

I kinda question that Statement ... Don't always believe what you hear from friends.

Yep hyperbole... With that said I do not think it is a stretch to say this team is piss poor on fundamentals otherwise we would be getting different results. Fundamentals are not the only thing that is contributing to the poor results but it is a part of it. That starts with coaching,,,,
