Neither should be the DC at Alabama and we know that's the truth. Grantham has been nothing more than a retread.

I think Strong could be a decent DC in this offensive era. He just wasn’t made to be a HC which is fine. Maybe Grantham is good at the beginning then he wears on players like like Chip Long does everywhere he gets hired as OC.
A second possibility could be that opposing coordinators know how to defend him after the first year. You would think they would just go back and look at his years at Georgia though and he would lint have had much success at Louisville, Mississippi State or Florida if that was the case.
A third possibility is he might get too confident in his scheme and goes rogue taking big chances by calling blitzes from everywhere and at critical times.
He might also lose touch with game flow at times when calling plays. Golding certainly did a good bit…he struggled with it. I feel like that is the most important attribute of a playcaller…being able to be in sync with the flow on the game…adjust…if you’re a play behind you will always have an issue.
Kevin Steele- he was terrible at Clemson because he didn’t have the horses to run his scheme. Players also said he was too complicated. He was ok at LSU because he had the athletes. I thought he was really good at Auburn because during that time they had really good defensive linemen. Somehow they always seem to have good defensive linemen even when they have 7-5, 6-6, 8-4 type seasons three years in a row. Their secondary and linebacker talent was also above average while Steele was there. Steele was mediocre at Alabama but the talent was there minus 2007 then he got demoted
so I guess Coach wasn’t happy with his play calling. What year did Kirby punch him in the face? Didn’t Steele hit on Kirby’s wife? Wonder how many wives Lance Thompson hit on

No harm, no foul? If you steal $1000 from a bank, but they make that money back, you shouldn’t be punished? The bank is still out $1000. You still broke the law.

Irrelevant. If you’re caught, be ready to pay a price.

Probably meant Ryan Grubb. He is the current OC at Washington.
Ah. Thanks. Wouldn't be a bad choice.

It's been quiet as a church mouse the last few days; hell, more than a week.
We weren't kidding when we said these pieces of meat you're looking at and thinking "juicy" all contain a treble hook.
Just looking at UW's total offense from last year, I'd like to see what he could do with Bama's talent.

This is hilarious. Most teams scoff at NCAA rules and have no fear of getting caught and "paying the price." The NCAA has been toothless for over ten years now if not more. It's why it's so prevalent. BTW, the NCAA can't make "laws", they can make rules.

Yup. Copied and pasted
Yep! The days of “staring down the barrel of a smoking gun” are over!! NCAA is a joke!!
Concerns me that they would make an exception for UA like they did in the Albert Means/Kenny Smith debacle.
I understand where you are coming from and it seems like yesterday but that was almost 25 years ago.
Auburn was wondering if they can make "buy" laws?
