Didn't Saban want to move Michael Clayton to CB?


Anyone have clips of Kirklin playing CB?

I'll never forget his interception at the end of the Georgia game in '03 to seal the deal!!!

That’s a shame, they should have just left it how it was, yea it was a mistake but it’s one of those things that was iconic and hilarious. I don’t think anyone hated Hawthorne or anything because of it, just a funny thing that happened.

Coach Yotes moved Petey to CB too from WR and the Titans went undefeated

The voice of the tigers at the time (Jim Hawthorne), was calling the game on the radio and when the pass was caught he exclaimed “touchdown, Jack Hunt!, Jack Hunt!” Even though it was clearly Devery Henderson.


And LSU had Hawthorne re-record his call of the play and have tried to erase the original from history. Try to find it. It’s harder than you think.

He is still my favorite cornerback to don the purple n gold.

I am still upset with how he turned in the NFL. He had a good career but I thought he would be an all pro as a rookie lol

He got his big contract then kinda shut it down. He got paid.

it might be prudent to move a receiver to the defensive side of the ball. It worked out pretty well when Saban convinced Corey Webster to make the switch.


Yeah, let's just snag one of those Corey Webster types. Simple.

DB yes. He played some 2-way at safety vs UT in 2003 (2002 season) Cotton Bowl and delivered some big hits in limited snaps. Not surprising given his kick coverage skills. As usual, Saban wasn’t wrong. Would MC have had a longer NFL career if he had listened to Nick? Maybe.

Might try moving Stevens to LB to put more speed and underneath coverage on the field. Gonna have to leave 2 safeties on top because our CBs can’t cover or tackle so having Harris and Hampton back there for that is probly better than constantly having to drop Stevens into the box to make plays near the LOS which tips off the offense.

I have a signed Corey Webster game jersey hanging in my office, so kind of hard not to.

I love how all the video's out there have that whole piece edited out now. It goes from elated "TOUCHDOWN" to a lower key "I DO NOT BELIEVE IT". Sad times we live in.

Moving a WR to DB during the season is pointless... thats a move you make during the offseason.



Belichek moved Troy Brown to CB before the Super Bowl
