re: Ryan Clark Notable Quotes from AFR

When Miles did this, he was reviled for it.

It's the whole reason O started letting former players around more, to separate himself from Miles during his political campaign for the HC spot.

O did this to himself.

SPOT ON!

Madking, you downvoting me every time doesn’t make you right

Take a break, come back with a better argument, and try again

Wow the hypocrisy is astounding. You follow the playbook to a T don’t you?

Yet you fall In here on a daily basis and vomit all over the place


Nobody gives a frick about your world view.

To some degree he is right. The guys on the team were coming off a TREMENDOUS season and two of the main pieces of that success were gone (Aranda and Brady). O wasn't going to step in to coach either side of the ball, so whoever he brought in was going to have to build trust with the players.

Clearly the defense has NEVER been on the same page with Pelini and it is evident they simply don't trust what he is asking him to do. If/when the players don't believe in what the coach is telling them to do that is a disaster waiting to happen...and it did.

The offensive side is probably a bit different because Ensminger is still there. Yes, Brady was the difference maker last season. But Ensminger isn't so egotistical that he said "frick this! I'm going back to MY offense! The offense was playing relatively well in the first three games (after an ugly first half in the opener). But there were a LOT of new faces to break in and the news guys are quite on the level of who they had to replace (CEH, Chase, Jefferson, etc). Still, the addition of Linehan was curious...at best. He hadn't worked with college players in a LONG time. It wasn't a big addition on the recruiting trail. And I don't know if he brought a ton to the college game that younger, and probably more hungry guys couldn't.

O made those hires because he wanted guys who would essentially be complacent in their roles at LSU and not look to advance their careers. O didn't want to have to replace a "Brady" year after year. Loyalty to O is as paramount as merit...maybe more as we have seen.

While you hate to think a 60 year old life-time college coach wouldn't know this, but if competitors are constantly trying to poach your staff then that is because you are doing something RIGHT. Take it as a complement that a Big 12 school thought your DC was good enough at YOUR school to become their HC. Or that an NFL team thought your OC performed well enough to warrant them making him their OC.

Saban's staff is basically a revolving door. That ain't because the Alabama program is performing poorly every year.

And now the self proclamation lol. You’re so predictable it’s boring and you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Matt would call them an idiot and laugh about it

He has done more for lsu as a program than your sorry keyboard tough guy arse. You stay away from the program. Let me find out you never even attended LSU. PathetiC human being!!!

Ok Ryan...

Like a lot of former players they are more loyal to Saban than to LSU, this includes RC. Moscona has never liked O; he was 100% Tom Herman. O refuses to go on his show and Moscona bashes O. RC has been a bad influence on a leaderless team of very talented but spoiled young men. when your team is losing a player can only do one of two things; 1. cry and whine about it or 2. work your arse off to make it better. We all know which option they chose! THERE IS NO I IN TEAM, BUT THERE IS IN SELFISH!
