I think another key hiring factor was the fans. Remember 20-25 years ago and fans screaming for one of "Bears Boys." It didn't't matter if they were assistant coaches or unproven head coaches, they somehow believed they would be as good as Coach Bryant. A few folks mentioned Dabo, but most of us knew that train had already left the station. Time will tell and my biggest concern is the defense. We shall see.


 

If we have someone at center who can hike the ball will be a huge upgrade.



 

The Tide has some GLARING holes especially on defense. We need 2 big men who can clog up the middle, block or alter shots, and REBOUND! When you sometimes 2b guys who are 6'9" or 6'10" standing around at the 3 point arc, you are in big trouble. At least 1 assistant will get fired this year. We need someone to teach defense and using their hands & feet on defense. Bruce Pearl is great at that.


 

Easy to figure out:

He's been too sick
He's too old and Tide needed a change
He's too uninformative describing the game

I REALLY like Chris Stewart!


 

This is ridiculous, he needs to move on and get a life.


       

Ben Nelson has finally figured out he is 6'11" and is taller than most folks on the court. He had 6 blocks last night. Wish he was 20-30 pounds heavier. Way too skinny.



 

BINGO! Eli should have left 10 years ago. Chris Stewart is 5 times better than Eli. Stewart is informative, gives good insights into the game, can discuss players & the coach.

I've been following Tide basketball since 1968 and this is the deepest, best team they have EVER had. this team goes 8 or 9 players deep. This includes Clowney, Miller, Sears, J. Bradley, Bediako, Quinerly, Pringle, Gurley, & Griffen. We have an excellent point guard in Sears, tall players with talent in Miller, Clowney, & Bediako (plus back-ups Pringle & Gurley), plus speed and quickness in other players. This team has unlimited potential.




  

BINGO!!!

The guy arrested with Miles is from Maryland and is not a student at Bama, so what is he doing in T-Town? Miles is from Wash, DC (thug city) so is this other guy a friend of his or affiliated with a gang? They killed a woman so there will be no mercy if they did kill her. What is going on with this situation?

Huntsville/Decatur/Madison/Athens area is still a great place to live.



 

We're not that bad off, but this crappy play calling by the OC & the DC has to end. They are BOTH in over their heads. Need to look at the receivers coach, too.

I'm so sick of these sloppy, ugly, depressing games by the Tide. Bill O'Brien is an old fashioned, uncreative pro football coach who should not be coaching at Bama. Pete Golding and his defense look lost and always out of position. He is not the answer to our defensive needs, he's the problem. Is the wide receiver coach part of the problem or do our wide receiver's just stink?

All about coaching or the lack of it.

He should have been confident. We had 8 or 9 returning starters on defense, a returning QB who won the Heisman, we had highly recruited receivers, Jamir Gibbs from the portal, highly rated O-Line recruits, and good recruiting classes. We are also stuck with poor coaching at the DC, OC, O-Line, & Receivers.
