re: It all started to fade when Scott Cochran left.

The training became quieter and more clinical, built around load management, speed tracking, and injury reduction. The players looked faster, but they did not look or play like the old Alabama bullies. And the NFL draft exposed the truth
I think this is a valid point. Football teams spend as much time together in the gym as they do at any other time. It's a place for bonding, working, building an identity, and achieving gains together. Now, I think Scott would be the first to tell you that everything about the success of Bama football began and ended with CNS, and I would agree,.... but you do have a valid point IMO.
Good example - Ronnie Coleman (Mr. Olympia for a decade) lifted in a garage gym in Texas with no air conditioning. The weights and machines were old... the kinda old that everything feels ten pounds heavier than it is. He forged a beast in that hell hole. It was primal. It was tough.
I think Scott definitely played a large role in convincing those teams they could run through brick walls.
It's called chemistry and every team has some form of it. The Saban/Cochran teams were just tough AF. Like beat yo MF arse down and take yo cornbread tough.
Reporter once asked Jon Allen about playing against LSU at LSU... With the most stone cold serious face possible he said,... "man, we will play them in the parking lot." That kinda tough is void this program now

I hear and respect what you’re saying but I want to see him with “his” quarterback.
He brought "his QB" from UW... his name is Austin Mack. CKD will not play the MF.
Keep making excuses for Kayla though

Ty's height was an issue last night with tips and yips
I'm glad you mentioned that because I've been noticing that for weeks. He's also changing his release to try to get over the OL at times. It's definitely noticeable.
quote:
afraid! All I see in Simpson’s eyes is fear and despair!
I'm a big believer in the Steve Spurrier way which is give the QB a chance to prove he's got it, but if he doesn't start working down the bench until maybe you find a spark.
I'm all about benching Ty. I was all about benching Milroe. If its bad QB play what do we have to lose by looking for a hot hand ?
I will say however Ty didn't have that panic around his game until he got injured. I think he's been trying to protect an injury, and that simply is not going to work behind this OL and scheme He's a sitting duck back there and he knows it.

If Deboer rides Ty all the way to another loss over Oklahoma then hes a dead man walking next year.
Ty is regressing in a big way, (also been injured) but he's still better than Milroe, and DeBoer rode Milroe into oblivion so no reason to believe he's not going to ride Ty into oblivion.
DeBoer simply does not consider benching struggling QB's. I have no idea how to explain it.
Everyone keeps begging for Keelon, but Mack is roughly the same size as Cam Newton- he has those long smooth strides that make him sneaky fast, he stands tall in the pocket, he's hard to bring down, he has a cannon for an arm, he has the most time in the DeBoer system (whatever that is)
I'd really like to see Mack get his chance, but if not I'd like to see Mack at the latest after a lackluster first quarter.
What can't be tolerated is watching sub par QB play all the way to the clock striking 00:00 on another embarrassing loss. DeBoer gotta prove he's capable of taking action.

Its over his head. He can't even see Grubb is over his head
Bro,... he let zero experience, absolute nobody, Nick Sheridan be the OC last year- for the entire season... think about that
Grubb sucks, but he's way better than Sheridan was.
Kayla is in waaay over his head. :lol:

Did you just say "turn Bama around"?!? Turn them around from winning an SEC CHAMPIONSHIP and a playoff berth?!? That's what he inherited
Lol... exactly !
Yeah, we need kayla to turn us around from his first two seasons, of burning Sabans program to the ground.
No worries they'll be music and ice cream during the shamwow bowl practices, and the coaches will be urged to bring their families and make a vacation out of it. Not a minute over 40 hours a week for DeBoer and staff. :lol:
This dude tried to act tough by slapping a padded goal post... pfff wake up ! This dude is one interview away from calling us champions in life

Lemme tell you about what a certain coach did in 2 years at Washington
Lol... he got through a weak conference, and then got MAULED in the trenches by Michigan.
The op most definitely has a valid point. In fact year two has always been a big year for coaches.
I thought DeBoer would at least be able to follow Saban as well as Les Miles did but hayul nawwww

Star ratings mean nothing
Agreed, but the eval process sure is important. You cant have it both ways. When it gets down to it the man in charge is responsible one way or another

no backs and a s**tty offensive line, but Grubb should come up with a running game?
All the OL and RBs were 4 and 5 star players so... is it the scheme and the coaching they are receiving, or is our evaluation process broken ? Who's making the evals ?

Dude, DeBoer team went to half with zero points. :lol:

That’s just how his teams are
Yep, soft.
His team just got dismantled in all three phases of the game.

DeBoer teams don’t play 4 quarters. Frustrating.
We get annihilated in second half ever since DeBoer got here.
Under Coach Saban we played murder ball in the 4th quarter, and could make adjustments at the half.

They’ve figured out we can’t throw deep
We are facing split safeties because we cant run. Really hard to throw deep vs split safeties.

You're also the same guy who said we'd be much improved last year and that KDB was a better gameday coach than Saban
All that proves is I really wanted to believe he could work, and was trying my best to be positive, (after he was hired) and how the hell could he be worse in-game than a coach that didn't know what a timeout was ?
And yet... DeBoer is unbelievably worse gameday coach. We have gotten annihilated in the second half of nearly every game DeBoer has been here. What the F does this a-hole do at half time ? Serious question.
Kiff was my guy from day 1. I tried to be cool when they hired Kayla. I gave him a fair chance- he's proven to be hot garbage. Where is the confusion?

Naw you can congratulate us on a hard earned top 5 pick in the draft.
