Title: "Jacob Coker working way to Alabama" Post by: WALL-E on April 17, 2014, 10:59:02 AM Jacob Coker working way to Alabama
Title: Re: "Jacob Coker working way to Alabama" Post by: pmull on April 17, 2014, 01:14:27 PM Good read on Coker. He may not be at spring practice but he is putting in the work to be ready this summer. He plans to finish his 19 hours at FSU needed to graduate, skip graduation and head straight to Tuscaloosa to get started.
Quote Put simply: He isn't transferring to Alabama to be a backup. He's always wanted to be The Guy. All he's needed was an opportunity. Everyone at Florida State knew he was special. Seminoles quarterbacks coach Frank Sanders said he was "probably the best I've seen in 25 years at throwing it." But Sanders and the staff couldn't ignore Famous Jameis. He had the nickname and the pedigree. Coker made the race close, but they sided with potential. "Let's be honest," Coker says, "You don't go to school to sit on the bench and high-five everybody. I'm more than appreciative of the whole situation [at FSU]. But heck, if I wanted to do that again, if I wanted to sit the bench, I would have stayed there. "I'm leaving for a reason."

You've got to admire Coker's attitude. Sounds like he is really going all out for this. I can't wait to see the fall reports on him. And with Sims looking much improved, we may have a serious battle for QB this year. :popcorn2: Title: Re: "Jacob Coker working way to Alabama" Post by: ricky023 on April 17, 2014, 02:58:30 PM #+ Sounds like MR. Coker is working really hard. I'd love to see Amari and Coop, catching his passes. This is going to be a fancy job site when he gets here. I think Blake, Cooper, and Bateman will be a thing of beauty. What you think, he gets here and Coach Kiffin may think he died and went to Football Heaven. We may have a hurry up offense he might be playing 3 QB's. :D, RTR!
