DeBoer may not have coached in the sec but he did great things at Washington. Knowing how to win and with the way the college football world is changing he’s a nice fit for Alabama.
absolutely! we all have to accept the fact just like the tide players have is that Saban is an external factor and he should be treated as such!! Tylor bookers quote " "Well something Coach Saban taught us whenever we speak to the media is to not concern ourselves with external factors and he doesn't work in the facility anymore, he works in the stadium so he's considered an external factor..."
People don't realize just how bad the coaching at Alabama was before Saban. Even the "great Stallings" never won anything outside of Tuscaloosa. DeBoer will be fine.
I sure do hope that Jaylen Milroe has a better center this year!!! The center position was Bama's achilles heel!! He really hurt the team. I was happy to see him leave!!!!
Decision making. Like Nick was saying, know when to say ok, it's time to run. Don't try to be strictly a pocket passer. Also, the coaches need to help Milroe out some too with more designed QB plys. Not just runs but the passes he is best at.
The offense will be explosive. Deboer is offensive coach, and the talent pool here is off the charts. The defense will be .... interesting. Huge losses all around, but i'm very glad Malachi Moore is back at least.
I think Deboer is a great coach, but i'm leary about his transition into the SEC. Out of all the games he has coached, not one of those games was against an SEC opponent. And most commentators and College football fans know, even if they aren't willing to say, that SEC football is just different. Almost any team in the SEC can have a crappy season, and come out swinging when they play your team. Auburn has proven that year in and year out when they play Alabama. Ole Miss can go 1-5 in the regular season and put up 45pts on Alabama's best team. A&M can do the same thing. There aren't many PAC 12 teams that have that ability, and Deboer has to be able to prepare his team for that inevitability if he wants any shot at being near as elite as Saban was. It's not the physical game i worry about with Deboer. It's the mental game with his team. If they get big heads, and think that because they are Bama, they're going to win, Deboer is going to have to settle them down. Saban was always good at that, but from watching Deboer coach at Washington, he has not shown that ability.
DeBoer is being very smart in what he says especially pending any wins yet but he and the Tide should do well. Saban did a great job building Jalen Milroe so that now he's matured sufficiently to be a much more trustworthy effective QB , it of course helps that he's built like a Cape buffalo, a very tough MF ;-) One of Saban's most effective methods was how he developed new QBs keeping it simple and disciplined with tight restraints then gradually loosening the reins as the QB gained skill judgement and poise.
I would like to see Milroe hit the checkdowns. Just because you had a deep ball doesn’t mean you have to try and make highlight reel throws every possession. Unless you’re playing Auburn and its 4th and 31
How amazing would it be for coach DeBoer to take Bama to the national championship. Lord knows this man needs an epic season like that to survive the withering abuse he will take if we have a bad year. Roll Tide!!
Maybe u guys can swing by fall practice and go over it with Coach K and Jalen. Last yrs Jalen isn’t gonna be close to as good as this yrs. He’s gonna be special. He sounded so composed and confident at his media day. He’s gained loads of confidence because he put in serious work. I can’t wait. He’s gonna win the heisman.
Your all tripping milroe wins the hiesman and you can see the difference in him and I promise you'll eat those words and include him in the list of our loved guys in the league starting as a franchise qb
@@Toast2222idk as a Georgia fan I would like to say Georgia would win lol but it’s a 50/50 Deboer is entering a different beast there’s no easy wins over here
All interesting. Player mentality, Saban was very good and not only finding effective players at EACH position but ones that have the mentality to be coached by him and execute in a similar manner. Someone like Deion Sanders or any of the Miami tough boys of the 80s would not have thrived under Saban. This part of his recruitment technique is not understood well. It has also resulted in players that are less in the trouble headlines as they have a mindset of pursuit of being THEIR best, not some characature of tough guy bad a$$. As Bear Bryant said "act like you have been there before"
You know, hearing all this X's & O's talk regarding Milroe evolving sounds great and all...until one remembers that this is the same guy who ran straight into a pile of humanity on 4th down in OT of the playoffs.
Sooo ura fvkkboii son eh?? Ur no Bama fan obviously orrrrrrrrrrr eWe 🐑 sheeple boi WOULD KNOW IT WAS THE 6TH BAD SNAP OF THE GAME. ....say something meaningful how bout
@D1Waddle well, true the play caller definitely shares the blame and perhaps the play was doomed from the start...but at least some blame is on Milroe too...his instincts have to kick in and he needs to at least 𝑡𝑟𝑦 to make an adjustment in his running path toward a clearer patch of field before it's too late. I mean, he just bulldozed straight into the part of the field with the most guys.
@@Hollan-vc7sh seems like you’re forgetting that the snap was bad! I don’t think you realize how much half a second is in football.. That’s all it takes to throw off a play. That’s how fast defensive players are coming at the QB.
Shouldn’t that say ESPN instead of SEC? I guess the echo chamber is rolling right along, of course if you don’t have to win your league or even have a decent record to play in a bowl game and of course the committee chooses who gets picked…lol, and this committee seems to do the bidding of the network…lol.when the bar is set too low ie. no achievement is required, then you just need to belong to the right league, network or committee…in the old days only league champions had a chance for a national championship but for many years it just seems as if greed ,money and agendas control our sports systems just like they control our politics and soon our college sports will be a mirror of our professional sports.

💯
The way Greg looks at Saban definitely shows how much he respects and cares for Saban.
It’s funny how the lobbyist sit with politicians, kinda like how Alabama sits with espn. The rigging is obvious and the documentary is not far away
The way Greg looks at Coach Saban 😂
For a lot of those Bama players, Saban will always be a second dad to them. Even now he commands that amount of admiration and respect.
@samuelrankin9637 For a lot of those Bama players, Saban is the only father they've ever known! Agree on the amount of respect & admiration
😂
I'd be gushing too, if i were lucky enough to have played for the GOAT.
I want to see a lot more of Saban and Greg. ❤
No more Greg!!!!
Mainly we now have a center that can actually hike the ball…good luck OSU
4:04 "Don't put your hand on me, Greg."
I love when Saban gets in a few of those “Aight” in his sentence 😂
If the receivers get open especially deep he will find them. Lot of his problems last year was no one was open to throw too.
Absolutely!
And then when they were it was 50/50 he’d throw a decent ball.
A successful championship caliber QB passes the receivers open, aka Tua and Mac, RTR
Might be true but I think it’s more on Milroe. Snap 1-2-3 throw. Milroe hasn’t learned that yet.
Dang Milroe is a huge kid.
Yeah he’s yoked man. Dude is a physical specimen.
He is a big kid..You don't realize it when he's behind the offensive line lol
I would like to see Coach Saban do color for ESPN games.
I'll be happy if he tells McAfee to STFU on Gameday
We finally got a center who knows how to actually snap the ball instead of lift it up with his hand and flick it backwards with his wrist
0:30 I thought it was “dual” threat. Not “duel” threat
Decision making. Like Nick was saying, know when to say ok, it's time to run. Don't try to be strictly a pocket passer. Also, the coaches need to help Milroe out some too with more designed QB plys. Not just runs but the passes he is best at.
Yeah. Sounds great .RT! But ‘What the D’fence gone look like 👀?’ This is my only comment from now until the season on everything…
Great coaches always match or elevate the program in first year. He has all the tools and the best scenario possible that he needs. ZERO REGRESSION
The offense will be explosive. Deboer is offensive coach, and the talent pool here is off the charts. The defense will be .... interesting. Huge losses all around, but i'm very glad Malachi Moore is back at least.
Kudos to paul for not going for the circus catch interception vs. Batting it down with his off hand

Only 6 at bama

Milroe just needs to work on ball security !!
And his anticipation and timing, ball placement, going through his progressions, and not throwing the ball while past the line of scrimmage.
He needs more than that. He needs to work how he sees the field while passing the ball. That's what really needs to improve.
O line was horrible last year. I think that’s more the issue. He got hit way to much
