Lifetime bama fan here: You nailed it on ALL counts. It was worth it not to bench Milroe, because you couldn't afford to lose the locker room. The Deboer era doesn't truly start until next year. Looking forward to what he does next season. If 9-4 is our worst in the Post-Saban era, that's a pretty easy pill to swallow. Someone screenshot this as evidence that not all of us die-hard Bama fans are completely unreasonable 😂😂
@@bradleyrhodes2820 put the pipe down hater that was not the #1 most talented roster and was by far the most talented roster Alabama has ever had, did they have some good players yeah they did but don't give me no crap about "#1"
At the college level you can get away with the game managers that will be 7th round picks and just have a whole lot of starts under their belt. But in the pros it's a different story. The game managers end up holding their team hostage, that's why you need to draft the guys that are physically gifted cause those guys have the most potential, someone's gonna take Milroe pretty high this draft
@@sw120but the physical gifts are usually in the arm and it seems like the more football Milroe plays, the less accurate he gets. Even Lamar and Hurts improved in that department throughout their college careers.
@@dariuswilliams3206 physical gifts can be with athleticism too. Drafting Milroe legitimately might make that team a top 5 rushing offense. Mobile QBs can do so much for an offenses run game if you feature them, the Ravens went from the worst to the best rushing offense once they went from Flacco to Lamar. Also by system QB I moreso mean someone that can go off script (before or after the play), like I don't think Joe Burrow has a super strong arm and he definitely isn't the most mobile guy but he can carry a load on offense cause he can improvise and make broken plays work. I think Milroe can definitely do that. The safe system QBs with "high floors" like Josh Rosen or Mac Jones just don't work anymore, they restrict offenses more than they can elevate them. I'd rather swing and miss on Milroe than get stuck in the purgatory of "he's good enough to start but not good enough to lead my team to the playoffs" with Ewers
@@sw120 that…that is not Milroe. The best you’ve seen of Milroe are on design plays worked to perfection. RARELY have I seen Milroe make something out of nothing. Most of his rushing yards are off designed QB runs where he doesn’t get touched. He has terrible pocket presence, doesn’t come off his first reads, and takes horrible sacks. I refuse to believe the Michigan game is the FIRST game receivers were running wide open and he just wasn’t seeing them.
Roll with the Tide my entire life. No excuses Mr. Pate. You are dead ass, on the money. C+ at best!! Bama should have had more of a "Run Da Bawl" mentality with the stable they had in the backfield. "Lank" just let all the Ney-Sayers know one thing. The Ney-Sayers were right!! Im looking forward to 2025. The "REAL" first season of the Kalen Deboer era! Roll Tide.
I put allot on coaches for not settling milroe down more in the pocket and using the rbs more. He is not comfortable staying in a pocket and that caused a ton of penalties
Admittedly the D was atrocious on 3rd & 4th downs but otherwise it was solid! It allowed one TD in each half, those were due to impossible positions by the O. O was limited by Milroe and turnovers lost the game. Vandy scored 17 within 2 minutes left in the 1st half.
Last year Milroe seemed to have the magical deep ball. He almost couldn’t miss on deep throws but this year he seemed to lose it as the season went on which made him one dimensional and easy to game plan against. I think next season bama will return to better QB play. Ty can still run it but I think we will have more of the field open to us with him. He can make all the throws but still beat you with his legs or with the RBs.
The biggest issue was the lack of competent passing. So many times this season Alabama had WR’s wide open and Jalen didn’t see them for some reason or throws a bad pass in their general direction, or even better, he will look at his first target is covered and immediately try to scramble into a sack. Jalen had only 2,800 passing yards. I don’t think it matters who the QB is next year, those passing numbers will be better regardless.
Jalen couldn’t throw at all. Even the receivers were getting mad at his ability to throw. He had poor decision making and accuracy. They shouldn’t have built the offense around him. They had weapons all over the place but as soon as his run game got short, he immediately folded
He seemed to have potential at the end of last season.i think deboar let egos run rampant this season and like a rebellious child after a divorce they acted out.
I was supportive of Milroe. But as the season moved forward from the Georgia game, I saw so many mistakes. Most of them are indecisiveness ( hold the ball to long, etc). The other big problem can be blamed on the coaching staff and the players alike little discipline.
He had two turnovers in a one possession game. Milroe deserves just as much fault as the defense. If Milroe takes care of the ball, we win. That's the story of the game, and the story of the season.
i LOVE this new bama standard 😆 deboer is a pretty good coach and a decent man, but he is in over his head at bama. the job is just too big for him. he is surrounded by top notch talent, facilities, and a staff that ANY program wishes they had even half of, but he fails with holding players accountable and keeping them in line. there is no discipline in the program. he will be fired after failing to missing the playoffs 3 more seasons.
The C+ is considering you think the roster may have been overrated? So if it wasn’t overrated is that more like a D or F? We know Kendrick Law is better than what we saw on the field last year. You mentioned Jam and Haynes not making an impact. The roster rating piece is a difficult argument when you know some key pieces of the offense weren’t utilized who could take some pressure off Milroe.
That's opposite of how it worked. If the roster wasn't overrated then he would be ranked lower. So if the roster was truly overrated then he performed better than he should have.
Nothing about the offense was going to look different with Milroe at QB against any team with a decent to above average run defense. Bama had WRs running wide open more often than not & the QB simply couldn’t get the ball to them. Minus 1-2 games early on - no one respected Bama’s passing game which resulted in them committing to stopping the run (the LSU game was a complete anomaly). JM’s inability to read a defense affected this year’s offense more than we’ll ever know! Many plays were called that weren’t successful due to very sub-par QB play. Our RB’s didn’t come to Bama to play fullback for the QB.. RTR! I wish JM the best of luck with everything in life - but have zero issues stating I’m glad he’s not the QB at Bama any longer!
@ I get that for sure. Hopefully Kelton and Ty are better. If Ty really was better last year, what does that say about our coaching? If our coach can’t put us in the best position to win then it doesn’t matter who is playing.
I feel bad the most for Ty Simpson! Had he started from the beginning of the season Bama would have been in the playoffs! Also Ty has stuck in there for going into 4 years which is unheard of today! I dont think Ty is getting near the respect he deserves and I'm praying he comes in in 2025 and blows up!!!
You don’t just get to play over the starter when the starter has bad games. When the hell has Ty Simpson done anything to show that he would have gone 6-0 in his career against Georgia, LSU, Auburn and win the SEC (all things that Milroe did)
I agree that the Oklahoma game was the worst this season. Showing no pride against Michigan is just about as bad. We had two late 4th quarter possessions against Tennessee to take back the lead and win and the Alabama offense/Jalen Milroe went 3 and out both times. Vanderbilt was an improved team and we took them lightly. We lost six good wide receivers to the transfer portal and our best running back. Lost Caleb Cunningham and Ty Haywood in the recruiting cycle. I'm still worried.
I can't help but wonder... how bad would it have to be to replace Milroe??? I get the point about the locker room, but what about the bowl game? The switch could have been made in the 2nd half.
All season long it was difficult to tell if it was Nick Sheridan's playcalling or Jalen Milroe's execution that was screwing us up. After thinking about it for a while it's clear that it was a little of Column A and a little of Column B. Milroe was clearly incapable of successfully running certain aspects of the offense, pigeon-holing Nick Sheridan's playcalling options. But also, Nick Sheridan's playcalling was pretty elementary and predictable at times, hamstringing Jalen's options as a quarterback. There's also something to be said about not having "your guys" in the system yet, but Nick Sheridan and Jalen Milroe were in WAY over their heads a lot of the time this season, and seasoned defensive coaches began feasting on that inexperience.
The playcalling was elementary and predictable, because there's not a lot of the room for creativity in the limited shell of an offense they had to create for Milroe. Its difficult to get overly creative when you have a one trick pony at QB. I think DeBoer said they only installed about 30% of their offense. There's also the fact that receivers were running wide open down the field multiple times in every game, but Milroe either didn't see them, or refused to throw to them. When that sort of thing is happening over and over, it's hard to fault the playcalling. If Milroe makes the right decision, Sheridan looks like a genius, and it's a different conversation.
Oh, absolutely! But there were clear cases of poor ideas being forced during inopportune moments, such as every time we tried to go fast and hurry up. It failed every single time, with *maybe* 2 exceptions. That's on the coaches. There were also several examples of trying to force a square peg through a round hole by getting extra cute on play designs that had zero setup beforehand. It was like Nick was a kid with a new toy, and he wanted to play with it in church. Not the time, nor the place. But you're spot-on with your assessment of Milroe's lack of awareness in the passing game.
@jslane41 I think the no huddle issues are probably on Milroe too, at least somewhat. He has zero ability to do anything presnap, and that can certainly slow down your hurryup offense. But maybe you're right and we shouldn't have bothered. Idk. I don't remember if this was a problem with Tommy Rees. I tell myself that if we knew what the coaches know about this whole situation, then everything would make sense. Next year will be interesting, and we will learn a lot.
Milroe: phenomenal athlete, not the best game manager. RBs: underutilized for their talent level; could have made a huge difference over the course of the season. WRs: great when Milroe was in his rhythm, but when he wasn't, they were useless. OC: at times solid play-calling, but relied far too heavily on Milroe, forcing him into situations like we saw with Vandy/Oklahoma (how do you do a few designed QB runs, see it doesn't work because they're spying Milroe, and continue calling them????). It felt like DeBoer didn't have control of his team. Hopefully we'll see a different team and attitude in the spring and fall. Just some thoughts from someone who's been spoiled by Saban throughout his childhood.
Idk man, i dont want to be too harsh but they lost to Vandy for the first time in 40 years. Thats got to be a D season. Deboer will have to do better next year.
DeBoer really screwed himself this first season. He's gotta win at least 10 games next season and probably go to the playoffs. If he had gone full "Junction Boys", cleaned house, won 6 games with a dedicated team, he'd have a much higher ceiling next season. What are the chances they win 10 games next season and go to the playoffs? Not good in my opinion. Next season's schedule is more difficult than this past year's schedule, too. He's got one more season in my opinion.
I can tell you right now, I expected 9-3 at best, if Milroe was going to be the starter all season, so this is about on par with my expectations. Not gonna fault them for doing exactly what I expected, especially as handcuffed as we were at the QB position
Without doubt… NIL & TP has brought in a level of power $ and control that players never had before. However, when players control the coaches… you get BAMA 2024 results or worse. Player only meetings should be where the players call on each other to be accountable. I believe DeBore knew he could not bench Milroe after telling each and every player that stayed at BAMA… he had their back. I like the idea of coaches having the players backs, but aren’t boundaries, responsibilities, and results of film study supposed to mean anything?
@MaxP3515: "🎼🎵🎶South Carolina, South Carolina/ Banana Fana Bouth Barolina/ Me My Mouth Marolina/South Carolina!" No one remembers that Song?😂😏🎤🎸🎹🥁📚📒🖊👒🌹B.W.
Biggest issue was Milroe like u was saying. People act like the line was horrible. A solid QB would have seen guys wide open 5-15 yards. Also would stare down guys before he would throw. He should have benched Milroe after Tennessee game , or at least during Oklahoma game. I mean I understand but during the Oklahoma game people were getting pissed I’m pretty certain nobody would have been pissed. Or at least bowl game he shouldn’t have stepped foot on the field after half time.
Is it possible that Milroe has been tipping plays? I've seen footage that shows he stands differently before the snap when its a running play vs a passing play. I'm not sure how accurate, true, or consistent that is. I'm just asking a question.
I saw that too. I went back and rewatched the first half of the Georgia game and he was tipping the play about 90% of the time. Idk about other games. If it's something that opposing teams noticed and keyed in on, it would be shocking if the Alabama staff didn't notice for 2 years. Unless they did but couldn't coach it out of Milroe.
it wouldn't be that shocking in college. It always blows my mind how little college players think about that kind of thing. Still have that high school mindset. Stuff like that, and telegraphing passes are the same. You see at the highest level of college QB play guys still telegraphing it the whole way and then it ends up a pick 6. Like damn bro you stared that dude down the whole time, what did you think was going to happen
Before the season I was told the "program made Saban" and not the other way around, now that that they failed to win 10 games this season now it's suddenly a "GOAT dropoff" was expected hahaha
@@RoadTo19 I believe the cosh can decide what quarterback he wants to play. Clearly Milroe needed to be either replaced or used in special 3 down or short yardage packages or something like that.
@@kevinbrasher5588he woulda lost the locker room and the fans after a back up comes and loses 1 game. Stop, bama fans woulda imploded if they lost with a back up.
@@RoadTo19he wasn't forced to do shit. Take off your tinfoil hate and maybe consider he is a bad coach? Not one part of the offense looked good after Georgia and film was out on it. Tommy Rees can win the SEC and be a few plays away from a national championship but the offensive genius can't? Karen Dubose won't work out.
Let’s be honest, it was a B+ before the Oklahoma game. They self destructed in that game and they never recovered. They were just lucky that Auburn sucked and was between the Michigan game and the OU game.
The Georgia and LSU wins are the only things showing DeBoer's "potential" and can allow for the "rebuilding year" excuse. But the standard is being top 4 in the country, winning the SEC, playing for a National Championship etc. Not going 9-4, losing a holiday bowl game. n my view, this was his mulligan, and he gets a 2nd chance in 2025, but if he doesn't win hardware, there should not be a 3rd chance.
@@Adultz94 Yeah idk why so many people are saying to drop him if he doesn't win big next year. Numerous top coaches took several years to get established. Firing him for not making a deep playoff run next year would set the program back several years.
@@PurpleHazeVanNederlands he was undefeated against Sark and Oregon the two times they played 😂😂😂😂😂 Saban can’t say that, and Kalen did it at Washington with no Running game and a much lower recruiting class all within a short window of coaching time. It took Kirby 5 years to be relevant, so while DeBoers future isn’t a gaurentee just blindly saying “hE iSnT kIrBy lOl” is dumb
@@Adultz94Michael Penix and Grubb aren't walking through that door. Sheridan had the 2nd worst offense in CFB and was fired from bottom feeder Indiana. You'd rather make up conspiracy theories and excuses for why Deboer was a shitty coach in 2024.
#1 composite class and top 5 recruiting class and out of the EXPANDED playoffs. D- next year: - open with @ FSU - going to Athens after beating them in a thriller last year - going to South Carolina after escaping last year - hosting Tennessee and could potentially get swept - first ever trip to Jordan Haire at the traditional 2:30 time slot they might go 1-4 in night games i don’t see Alabama making the playoffs
@@jesuschristhomeslice9492in which they won’t. what makes you think they get better when they had everything at their disposal and still missed the playoffs?
@ Different cultures, most of the current roster at Alabama was practicing under a hardliner vs now it’s more relaxed. Won’t have a definitive idea of what Kalen Deboers Alabama will look like till this season. Nick Sabans culture change in 2007 took a 6-7 team to 7-6 with the same talent.
Kudos to DeBoer for having the courage to follow Saban, but man… he could’ve been a legend at Washington. I don’t think he’s going to be a legend at Alabama
Milroe relied way too much on his legs and his arm started sucking. He got scared of throwing interceptions. It’s like nick saban said the media built him up and he lost it trying to live up to that.
He should have played another QB throughout year and he catered to Jalen too much couldnt run his offense...Tommy Reese was a better play caller for milroe specifically
What did everybody expect Deboer to do? Milroe had a cult following that would lay down if he didn’t play and it was proven against S. Florida Sabans last year, and further cemented when they held their player only meeting then came out and said “Milroe is our guy no ifs, ands, or buts about it”. Deboer had no choice but to start Milroe if he wanted any chance at winning and keeping the team together. Had Milroe been benched, half the offensive line would’ve just quit and made what they looked like all season look 100 times worse. I think Deboer knew he had to start the guy knowing bc of him they’d lose some but they’d definitely lose if he didn’t start because of the stated reason. Now that Milroe and his “lank” crew is finally getting out of Tuscaloosa, Deboer can play who needs to play that best fits his scheme. If that’s Ty Simpson that’s who it is. If it’s Austin Mac or Keelon Russell, that’s who it is. Now year 2 he has no choice but to play the best player. No more player led team. If he has to hurt Ty Simpsons feelings because he’s not as good as the other 2 he has to do what he has to do. If he fails to do so it’ll be another down year and I’m not too sure Bama fans will put up with it
I think milroe didn't fit deboer system and I think we need a new offensive coordinator but his hands where tied his first year to keep players from transferring but his second year gonna be the true deboer
I hate saying this, but I think Jalen Milroe sabotaged the team in order to better himself. I think he puts on a good show and knows how to charm people, and he exploited that. I hope that I am wrong but, I think that is a good possibility. ROLL TIDE!
For any other school 9-4 is spectacular but for us at Alabama this season has been a failure we don’t stand for that debore get it right we are the standard
Milroe should have been benched and TS played. We needed a QB who could through the ball. And if we don't run the dang ball better next year the OL coach has to be fired. I thought the OL and the DL seemed undisciplined and unprepared most of the time. Bama needs a big change in attitude and talent in the coming year. If players don't play well, their pay should be withheld. Period. You want the money? Earn it!
D-.... Alabama LOST to VANDERBILT for the first time in 30 years? Then woodshed beating by a really really bad Oklahoma led by a Brent Venables who is out of his depth as a HC. JP is way to SEC forgiving. 😎
Yeah that was last year an F ,but you clowns coming on here predicting the future of bama back your ass up deboer and bama are going to be fine ,i respect constructive criticism but you haters coming in here voicing your shit opinion because bama has stomped you out before, we know we are hated we won and were on top for years ,count deboer out if you want to go ahead ,he has far too much talent and is a damn good coach he is going to be back,no more title runs anymore ,but dont expect this team to go away it aint happening
Oh it’s happening little one. You’re just in denial.😂😂😂😂 your doofus couldn’t even beat Vandy with a roster that won the sec and was in the playoffs the year before😂😂😂😂😂 Sabin knew it was coming and said screw this. Told his wife played don’t give a shit any more. Times have changed little buddy and bama is back in the trash where they belong.😂😂😂😂😂 GBO🧡
@bradleyrhodes2820 yeah sweetheart, sweetie ,son ,boy ,voltard since we are talking in terms of endearment goofy ,lmao boy you finished the season well didn't you lmao Ohio st curb stomped that ass ,you have a shit trash can team who will never see a natty, hell your best receiver jumped in the portal and you think that yall going to be any better next year that flop of a qb you got ain't nothing but garbage, yall have been garbage for 20 plus years and ain't nothing changing for you rocky flop ,I would have rather lost to vandy than what happened to your weak ass team, bama owned you and will continue to own you ,🤣🤣🤣🤣 bet yall don't want no more of Ohio st ,yall looked pitiful
If that really was a "we'll try it your way" kind of season so that he can point back to it for a future team like you theorize that puts even more pressure on Debore because now if he doesn't really show out and greatly overachieve (considering the over/under win total for next season is 9.5) and win a minimum 11 games, then to point back and say that would be an embarassing way to admit that you're not the man for the job. That said, i like Debore, i think his offensive prowess was overhyped and proped up by Grubb but we'll leave that for another time, but he is a solid 9 or 10 win coach who can give a great speech.
I’m not lost on Deboers offense yet. Deboers offenses have been successful with dedicated passing QB’s. Jalen Milroe isn’t that at all. I expect a better passing offense next year. Jalen only had 2,800 passing yards, that’s very pedestrian.
Kiffin would give us 10 wins minimum and have it be fun, he stole 2 5*s from Deboer already and Deboer has lost 4 5*s including Haywood, Cunningham, Odom, and Justice.
I’m absolutely loving watching Bama fans lose their shit. They have been spoiled with the GOAT for so long that they really believe God actually owes them wins. Like they really think they’re suppose to win ALL their games by 50 points. If they don’t then they think that means they suck. Man imagine being that full of yourself. Sabans success was a once in a generation one. It’s not normal. In the world of football normalcy, losses happen. 3 or 4 losses a season happens. Ugly wins happen. Close wins happen. It’s part of sports. That doesn’t mean you suck. It just means you had a close game or a ugly win. Football success is like any drug. Taking someone off of that drug can have devastating consequences and side effects. And as we see with Bama fans, those consequences and side effect have been very bad lol. I said at the start of the year Bama fans wouldn’t be able to handle 9-3 or 8-4. Literally every coach Bama has from now til the end of time will be held to sabans standards. And when he fails to meet them after a year, fans will want him gone. Kalen won’t see a 3rd year at Bama. Book it. The fans are too entitled and spoiled.
Lose the locker room. How pathetic is that. These players now run the game and it’s sad. When Saban benched Milroe the oline hated it and sucked while they were in the game. I saw one play where Ty got sacked and two lineman just looked at him And didn’t help him Up. Pathetic.
What’s your describing to me is a weak coach. I don’t think Kalin Deore is going to be competitive in SEC. And then you have the transfer portal and the NiL this is going to kill the SEC. There’s no way a southeastern conference team can compete with the money that the northern states have and that’s what it’s all coming down to money.
Yes yes everyone regressed but it's one player's fault instead of a coach in over his head. Grubb and Penix carried Deboer. Dude has the worst offense I have seen. You have to make up conspiracy theories and that EVERY single recruiting service missed out on 17 5*'s to explain his incompetence
Basically as Alabama fan I would give him C+. Inconsistent but did do well with Recruiting. But lost some games they shouldn't have and failed to make 12 Team Playoff even with have Top 5 Talent.
Everyone is talking about how great of a team Deboar inherited, but I remember watching last year and thinking that we looked like one of the worst Bama teams I've seen in at least a decade. This year was disappointing but not necessarily in the win/loss column, imo. I figured we'd get about 9 wins , but I didn't think we'd beat some teams we did and lose to some teams we did.
Sure Pate; all those 18-20ish year olds were just so in love with Milroe that they were willing to sabotage their futures and humiliate themselves against south Florida of all teams just to get back at “mean old Saban”. For sure.
The players held a player only meeting after that game stating this very thing that Milroe is their guy no ifs ands or buts about it. However that definitely wasn’t the attitude of the whole team but some of the key players like Tyler booker was for sure part of the Milroe cult following. No offensive line for other QBs, no team. With the one QB they loved that should’ve been a RB, no efficiency and lack of success
An inexperienced OC combined with not knowing what to do with Milroe led to the offensive woes; bad OL play didn't help, either. One correction I have is that it wasn't bad QB play that lost the Vandy game. Milroe did make two turnovers including a pick-six, but Alabama still put up 35 points in only about 17 minutes of time on the field. It was the defense still trying to learn the 4-2-5 combined with Vandy's option offense that stayed on the field for nearly three quarters that was the difference in that one.
Based on everybody’s expectations and what the Talking Heads were saying prior to the season, I’m giving him a big fat F why because nobody was saying that there was gonna be a drop off and everybody was saying the train is gonna keep moving. Everybody thought Alabama was untouchable with all the transition that happened And I was only one of a few people said they were gonna win 8 to 9 games
Nick Saban started 7-6 at Alabama give him some time. Not saying he will be as good as Saban but he will be more prepared next year now that he knows what the sec is all about
What I'm concerned about is behind the scene, the University was playing a role in Milroe being QB1. It was trying to protect its brand after signing on with L𝘼NK. If that's the case, DeBoer's hands were tied and he had no choice. Such actions cannot remain a secrete, we'll heard about it one day.

Makes me appreciate the quarterbacks deemed "game managers" a whole lot more.
At the college level you can get away with the game managers that will be 7th round picks and just have a whole lot of starts under their belt. But in the pros it's a different story. The game managers end up holding their team hostage, that's why you need to draft the guys that are physically gifted cause those guys have the most potential, someone's gonna take Milroe pretty high this draft
@@sw120but the physical gifts are usually in the arm and it seems like the more football Milroe plays, the less accurate he gets. Even Lamar and Hurts improved in that department throughout their college careers.
@@dariuswilliams3206 physical gifts can be with athleticism too. Drafting Milroe legitimately might make that team a top 5 rushing offense. Mobile QBs can do so much for an offenses run game if you feature them, the Ravens went from the worst to the best rushing offense once they went from Flacco to Lamar. Also by system QB I moreso mean someone that can go off script (before or after the play), like I don't think Joe Burrow has a super strong arm and he definitely isn't the most mobile guy but he can carry a load on offense cause he can improvise and make broken plays work. I think Milroe can definitely do that. The safe system QBs with "high floors" like Josh Rosen or Mac Jones just don't work anymore, they restrict offenses more than they can elevate them.

@@sw120 that…that is not Milroe. The best you’ve seen of Milroe are on design plays worked to perfection. RARELY have I seen Milroe make something out of nothing. Most of his rushing yards are off designed QB runs where he doesn’t get touched. He has terrible pocket presence, doesn’t come off his first reads, and takes horrible sacks. I refuse to believe the Michigan game is the FIRST game receivers were running wide open and he just wasn’t seeing them.
@@sw120 yeah Tom Brady made a historic career in the NFL try again.
The very best day of the '24 season for Bama was the day Milroe announced he's leaving.
As a diehard Bama fan, you are exactly right. Also, brought up some points I hadn't thought of yet. Time for Debo to do some coaching !! RTR
Roll with the Tide my entire life. No excuses Mr. Pate. You are dead ass, on the money. C+ at best!! Bama should have had more of a "Run Da Bawl" mentality with the stable they had in the backfield. "Lank" just let all the Ney-Sayers know one thing. The Ney-Sayers were right!! Im looking forward to 2025. The "REAL" first season of the Kalen Deboer era!
Roll Tide.
I put allot on coaches for not settling milroe down more in the pocket and using the rbs more. He is not comfortable staying in a pocket and that caused a ton of penalties
I was sure Justice Haynes was going to be one of the best running backs in the country and he wasn’t even the best on his own team.
Vandy game was the defenses fault but everything was milroe. Dude is avg at best.
Vandy game was both. Regardless of how the defense played, we win if Milroe doesn't turn the ball over twice.
Admittedly the D was atrocious on 3rd & 4th downs but otherwise it was solid! It allowed one TD in each half, those were due to impossible positions by the O. O was limited by Milroe and turnovers lost the game. Vandy scored 17 within 2 minutes left in the 1st half.
Last year Milroe seemed to have the magical deep ball. He almost couldn’t miss on deep throws but this year he seemed to lose it as the season went on which made him one dimensional and easy to game plan against. I think next season bama will return to better QB play. Ty can still run it but I think we will have more of the field open to us with him. He can make all the throws but still beat you with his legs or with the RBs.
Milroe has been our problem for 2 years. Love the guy but it is time to move on.
He's like a sports car with a flat tire.
🏆
RB play QB... brilliant athlete, but not a QB.
For reference, Alabama will have 16 returning starters next season and Oregon, Ohio State, Georgia and Texas will each have 6. Place those bets now
The biggest issue was the lack of competent passing. So many times this season Alabama had WR’s wide open and Jalen didn’t see them for some reason or throws a bad pass in their general direction, or even better, he will look at his first target is covered and immediately try to scramble into a sack. Jalen had only 2,800 passing yards. I don’t think it matters who the QB is next year, those passing numbers will be better regardless.
Jalen couldn’t throw at all. Even the receivers were getting mad at his ability to throw. He had poor decision making and accuracy. They shouldn’t have built the offense around him. They had weapons all over the place but as soon as his run game got short, he immediately folded
The media was putting Kalen on the Bear Bryant Award watchlist even AFTER losing to Vandy. An absolute farce.
Milroe is a rb with a big arm....you can't win big with that dude at qb...
He seemed to have potential at the end of last season.i think deboar let egos run rampant this season and like a rebellious child after a divorce they acted out.
C- for me. You can't lose to Vandy, or a bad Oklahoma team. Zero offensive Halftime adjustments! Defense came on at the end.
Actually...the vandy game...we got out coached on both sides of the ball...that's true...
D and would be F if not for Georgia game
-Bama Fan
I was supportive of Milroe. But as the season moved forward from the Georgia game, I saw so many mistakes. Most of them are indecisiveness ( hold the ball to long, etc). The other big problem can be blamed on the coaching staff and the players alike little discipline.
Milroe didn’t play too poorly against Vandy. The defense lost that game.
He had two turnovers in a one possession game. Milroe deserves just as much fault as the defense. If Milroe takes care of the ball, we win. That's the story of the game, and the story of the season.
@@cameronferguson6725you can’t give up 40 and expect to win in any game.
i LOVE this new bama standard 😆
deboer is a pretty good coach and a decent man, but he is in over his head at bama.
the job is just too big for him.
he is surrounded by top notch talent, facilities, and a staff that ANY program wishes they had even half of, but he fails with holding players accountable and keeping them in line.
there is no discipline in the program.
he will be fired after failing to missing the playoffs 3 more seasons.
Letter grade for K. DeBoer = D. I have no idea what his “way” is, except to take entire games off.
The C+ is considering you think the roster may have been overrated? So if it wasn’t overrated is that more like a D or F? We know Kendrick Law is better than what we saw on the field last year. You mentioned Jam and Haynes not making an impact. The roster rating piece is a difficult argument when you know some key pieces of the offense weren’t utilized who could take some pressure off Milroe.
That's opposite of how it worked. If the roster wasn't overrated then he would be ranked lower. So if the roster was truly overrated then he performed better than he should have.
Nothing about the offense was going to look different with Milroe at QB against any team with a decent to above average run defense. Bama had WRs running wide open more often than not & the QB simply couldn’t get the ball to them. Minus 1-2 games early on - no one respected Bama’s passing game which resulted in them committing to stopping the run (the LSU game was a complete anomaly). JM’s inability to read a defense affected this year’s offense more than we’ll ever know! Many plays were called that weren’t successful due to very sub-par QB play. Our RB’s didn’t come to Bama to play fullback for the QB.. RTR! I wish JM the best of luck with everything in life - but have zero issues stating I’m glad he’s not the QB at Bama any longer!
@ Right, if the roster wasn’t overrated it would have been ranked lower (I.e. D or F instead of C+)
@ I get that for sure. Hopefully Kelton and Ty are better. If Ty really was better last year, what does that say about our coaching? If our coach can’t put us in the best position to win then it doesn’t matter who is playing.
I feel bad the most for Ty Simpson! Had he started from the beginning of the season Bama would have been in the playoffs! Also Ty has stuck in there for going into 4 years which is unheard of today! I dont think Ty is getting near the respect he deserves and I'm praying he comes in in 2025 and blows up!!!
Ty Simpson will be a Heisman finalist. Book it!
He'll never see the field for more than mop-up duty......he'd be better off transferring to a lower division if he wants to play.
Simpson had three years to earn the starting spot and couldn’t do it. It’s not about deserving something, it’s about earning it.
You don’t just get to play over the starter when the starter has bad games. When the hell has Ty Simpson done anything to show that he would have gone 6-0 in his career against Georgia, LSU, Auburn and win the SEC (all things that Milroe did)
If he was so good, why hasn’t he won the starting job in the 3 years he’s been there
I agree that the Oklahoma game was the worst this season. Showing no pride against Michigan is just about as bad. We had two late 4th quarter possessions against Tennessee to take back the lead and win and the Alabama offense/Jalen Milroe went 3 and out both times. Vanderbilt was an improved team and we took them lightly. We lost six good wide receivers to the transfer portal and our best running back. Lost Caleb Cunningham and Ty Haywood in the recruiting cycle. I'm still worried.
Milroe is an incredible once in a lifetime athlete but an average to below average qb. Josh is right. The NIL put DeBoer in a bad situation.
C. Milroe held the offense hostage
I can't help but wonder... how bad would it have to be to replace Milroe??? I get the point about the locker room, but what about the bowl game? The switch could have been made in the 2nd half.
All season long it was difficult to tell if it was Nick Sheridan's playcalling or Jalen Milroe's execution that was screwing us up. After thinking about it for a while it's clear that it was a little of Column A and a little of Column B. Milroe was clearly incapable of successfully running certain aspects of the offense, pigeon-holing Nick Sheridan's playcalling options. But also, Nick Sheridan's playcalling was pretty elementary and predictable at times, hamstringing Jalen's options as a quarterback. There's also something to be said about not having "your guys" in the system yet, but Nick Sheridan and Jalen Milroe were in WAY over their heads a lot of the time this season, and seasoned defensive coaches began feasting on that inexperience.
The playcalling was elementary and predictable, because there's not a lot of the room for creativity in the limited shell of an offense they had to create for Milroe. Its difficult to get overly creative when you have a one trick pony at QB. I think DeBoer said they only installed about 30% of their offense. There's also the fact that receivers were running wide open down the field multiple times in every game, but Milroe either didn't see them, or refused to throw to them. When that sort of thing is happening over and over, it's hard to fault the playcalling. If Milroe makes the right decision, Sheridan looks like a genius, and it's a different conversation.
Oh, absolutely! But there were clear cases of poor ideas being forced during inopportune moments, such as every time we tried to go fast and hurry up. It failed every single time, with *maybe* 2 exceptions. That's on the coaches. There were also several examples of trying to force a square peg through a round hole by getting extra cute on play designs that had zero setup beforehand. It was like Nick was a kid with a new toy, and he wanted to play with it in church. Not the time, nor the place. But you're spot-on with your assessment of Milroe's lack of awareness in the passing game.
@jslane41 I think the no huddle issues are probably on Milroe too, at least somewhat. He has zero ability to do anything presnap, and that can certainly slow down your hurryup offense. But maybe you're right and we shouldn't have bothered. Idk. I don't remember if this was a problem with Tommy Rees. I tell myself that if we knew what the coaches know about this whole situation, then everything would make sense. Next year will be interesting, and we will learn a lot.
@@cameronferguson6725 I think next year when they have a better QB starting, you'll see what Alabama is truly capable of under DeBoer.
As a Bama Fan.. NO LIES DETECTED 🤷🏾 josh always in my opinion have really good takes i love his show
Deboer will be out after year 3
Milroe: phenomenal athlete, not the best game manager. RBs: underutilized for their talent level; could have made a huge difference over the course of the season. WRs: great when Milroe was in his rhythm, but when he wasn't, they were useless. OC: at times solid play-calling, but relied far too heavily on Milroe, forcing him into situations like we saw with Vandy/Oklahoma (how do you do a few designed QB runs, see it doesn't work because they're spying Milroe, and continue calling them????). It felt like DeBoer didn't have control of his team. Hopefully we'll see a different team and attitude in the spring and fall.
Just some thoughts from someone who's been spoiled by Saban throughout his childhood.
Idk man, i dont want to be too harsh but they lost to Vandy for the first time in 40 years. Thats got to be a D season. Deboer will have to do better next year.
DeBoer really screwed himself this first season. He's gotta win at least 10 games next season and probably go to the playoffs. If he had gone full "Junction Boys", cleaned house, won 6 games with a dedicated team, he'd have a much higher ceiling next season. What are the chances they win 10 games next season and go to the playoffs? Not good in my opinion. Next season's schedule is more difficult than this past year's schedule, too. He's got one more season in my opinion.
I disagree about the schedule. All 3 Ls will be at home this year and the out of conference games are just as manageable as last year.
It wouldn’t surprise me that there are things going on behind the scenes. All one can do is sit and watch. I’m not sure anyone is secure in their job
Bama had more problems then just milore
D-
Great minds think alike I gave him them a c+ also
Alabama was 6-3 against power four teams. I would give them a D against what was expected of them and the level of talent they appear to have.
Agree sir, little bit of everything but Milroe ultimately couldn't get it done.
I can tell you right now, I expected 9-3 at best, if Milroe was going to be the starter all season, so this is about on par with my expectations. Not gonna fault them for doing exactly what I expected, especially as handcuffed as we were at the QB position
Without doubt… NIL & TP has brought in a level of power $ and control that players never had before.
However, when players control the coaches… you get BAMA 2024 results or worse.
Player only meetings should be where the players call on each other to be accountable.
I believe DeBore knew he could not bench Milroe after telling each and every player that stayed at BAMA… he had their back.
I like the idea of coaches having the players backs, but aren’t boundaries, responsibilities, and results of film study supposed to mean anything?
Did Milroe hold the coach hostage?
Fair question 🤡
THE WORST PART of this season was that ends a 16 year 10 win season streak the longest in the country. That started 2008 sabans second year.
D- absolutely no better than that.
Do South Carolina!
@MaxP3515: "🎼🎵🎶South Carolina, South Carolina/ Banana Fana Bouth Barolina/ Me My Mouth Marolina/South Carolina!" No one remembers that Song?😂😏🎤🎸🎹🥁📚📒🖊👒🌹B.W.
Biggest issue was Milroe like u was saying. People act like the line was horrible. A solid QB would have seen guys wide open 5-15 yards. Also would stare down guys before he would throw. He should have benched Milroe after Tennessee game , or at least during Oklahoma game. I mean I understand but during the Oklahoma game people were getting pissed I’m pretty certain nobody would have been pissed. Or at least bowl game he shouldn’t have stepped foot on the field after half time.
Is it possible that Milroe has been tipping plays? I've seen footage that shows he stands differently before the snap when its a running play vs a passing play. I'm not sure how accurate, true, or consistent that is. I'm just asking a question.
I saw that too. I went back and rewatched the first half of the Georgia game and he was tipping the play about 90% of the time. Idk about other games. If it's something that opposing teams noticed and keyed in on, it would be shocking if the Alabama staff didn't notice for 2 years. Unless they did but couldn't coach it out of Milroe.
it wouldn't be that shocking in college. It always blows my mind how little college players think about that kind of thing. Still have that high school mindset. Stuff like that, and telegraphing passes are the same. You see at the highest level of college QB play guys still telegraphing it the whole way and then it ends up a pick 6. Like damn bro you stared that dude down the whole time, what did you think was going to happen
Before the season I was told the "program made Saban" and not the other way around, now that that they failed to win 10 games this season now it's suddenly a "GOAT dropoff" was expected hahaha
If DeBoer is such an offensive guru, it sure didn't show this past year...
I suggest watching the video before commenting. DeBoer was forced to use a RB playing QB.
@@RoadTo19 I believe the cosh can decide what quarterback he wants to play. Clearly Milroe needed to be either replaced or used in special 3 down or short yardage packages or something like that.
@@kevinbrasher5588he woulda lost the locker room and the fans after a back up comes and loses 1 game. Stop, bama fans woulda imploded if they lost with a back up.
@ WWSD What would Saban do.
@@RoadTo19he wasn't forced to do shit. Take off your tinfoil hate and maybe consider he is a bad coach? Not one part of the offense looked good after Georgia and film was out on it. Tommy Rees can win the SEC and be a few plays away from a national championship but the offensive genius can't? Karen Dubose won't work out.
Missed the playoffs, lost to multiple unranked teams, failed to bench Milroe.
Grade: D.
DeBoer is too soft.
Alabama as a whole was down.
Let’s be honest, it was a B+ before the Oklahoma game. They self destructed in that game and they never recovered. They were just lucky that Auburn sucked and was between the Michigan game and the OU game.
The Georgia and LSU wins are the only things showing DeBoer's "potential" and can allow for the "rebuilding year" excuse. But the standard is being top 4 in the country, winning the SEC, playing for a National Championship etc. Not going 9-4, losing a holiday bowl game. n my view, this was his mulligan, and he gets a 2nd chance in 2025, but if he doesn't win hardware, there should not be a 3rd chance.
Good thing UGA didn’t have that standard for Kirby
@@Adultz94 Yeah idk why so many people are saying to drop him if he doesn't win big next year. Numerous top coaches took several years to get established. Firing him for not making a deep playoff run next year would set the program back several years.
@@Adultz94Yeah he isn't Kirby. He reminds me more of Billy Napier.
@@PurpleHazeVanNederlands he was undefeated against Sark and Oregon the two times they played 😂😂😂😂😂 Saban can’t say that, and Kalen did it at Washington with no Running game and a much lower recruiting class all within a short window of coaching time.
It took Kirby 5 years to be relevant, so while DeBoers future isn’t a gaurentee just blindly saying “hE iSnT kIrBy lOl” is dumb
@@Adultz94Michael Penix and Grubb aren't walking through that door. Sheridan had the 2nd worst offense in CFB and was fired from bottom feeder Indiana. You'd rather make up conspiracy theories and excuses for why Deboer was a shitty coach in 2024.
#1 composite class and top 5 recruiting class and out of the EXPANDED playoffs. D-
next year:
- open with @ FSU
- going to Athens after beating them in a thriller last year
- going to South Carolina after escaping last year
- hosting Tennessee and could potentially get swept
- first ever trip to Jordan Haire at the traditional 2:30 time slot
they might go 1-4 in night games
i don’t see Alabama making the playoffs
We'll be back when this implodes
See this only applies if you believe Alabama won’t improve AT ALL in the offseason.
@@jesuschristhomeslice9492in which they won’t. what makes you think they get better when they had everything at their disposal and still missed the playoffs?
@@jesuschristhomeslice9492improve the number 1 talented roster 😂 Sabin took them to the playoffs and doofus lost in a toilet bowl😂😂😂
@ Different cultures, most of the current roster at Alabama was practicing under a hardliner vs now it’s more relaxed. Won’t have a definitive idea of what Kalen Deboers Alabama will look like till this season. Nick Sabans culture change in 2007 took a 6-7 team to 7-6 with the same talent.
DeBoer is an offensive genius and Sheridan is good but can't run the ball at all. Depressing.
The rushing attach was poor because of weak QB play. Defenses stacked the box.
Kudos to DeBoer for having the courage to follow Saban, but man… he could’ve been a legend at Washington. I don’t think he’s going to be a legend at Alabama
He won’t be at Bama long enough to. Bama fans are too spoiled and entitled to accept anything less than 12-0
Milroe relied way too much on his legs and his arm started sucking. He got scared of throwing interceptions. It’s like nick saban said the media built him up and he lost it trying to live up to that.
He should have played another QB throughout year and he catered to Jalen too much couldnt run his offense...Tommy Reese was a better play caller for milroe specifically
What did everybody expect Deboer to do? Milroe had a cult following that would lay down if he didn’t play and it was proven against S. Florida Sabans last year, and further cemented when they held their player only meeting then came out and said “Milroe is our guy no ifs, ands, or buts about it”. Deboer had no choice but to start Milroe if he wanted any chance at winning and keeping the team together. Had Milroe been benched, half the offensive line would’ve just quit and made what they looked like all season look 100 times worse. I think Deboer knew he had to start the guy knowing bc of him they’d lose some but they’d definitely lose if he didn’t start because of the stated reason. Now that Milroe and his “lank” crew is finally getting out of Tuscaloosa, Deboer can play who needs to play that best fits his scheme. If that’s Ty Simpson that’s who it is. If it’s Austin Mac or Keelon Russell, that’s who it is. Now year 2 he has no choice but to play the best player. No more player led team. If he has to hurt Ty Simpsons feelings because he’s not as good as the other 2 he has to do what he has to do. If he fails to do so it’ll be another down year and I’m not too sure Bama fans will put up with it
I think milroe didn't fit deboer system and I think we need a new offensive coordinator but his hands where tied his first year to keep players from transferring but his second year gonna be the true deboer
I thought they would go 9-3. They just lost to a couple of teams I didn’t have them loosing to. It’s a B for me.
B is way too high
D
I gave them a B-
I hate saying this, but I think Jalen Milroe sabotaged the team in order to better himself. I think he puts on a good show and knows how to charm people, and he exploited that. I hope that I am wrong but, I think that is a good possibility.
ROLL TIDE!
For any other school 9-4 is spectacular but for us at Alabama this season has been a failure we don’t stand for that debore get it right we are the standard
😂😂 bama is dead😂😂😂
@ 🍪?
Milroe should have been benched and TS played. We needed a QB who could through the ball. And if we don't run the dang ball better next year the OL coach has to be fired. I thought the OL and the DL seemed undisciplined and unprepared most of the time. Bama needs a big change in attitude and talent in the coming year. If players don't play well, their pay should be withheld. Period. You want the money? Earn it!
D-.... Alabama LOST to VANDERBILT for the first time in 30 years? Then woodshed beating by a really really bad Oklahoma led by a Brent Venables who is out of his depth as a HC. JP is way to SEC forgiving. 😎
This is all bullshit. 😂 Rolll Tide
if we lose to flordia state im gonna have a stroke
Yeah that was last year an F ,but you clowns coming on here predicting the future of bama back your ass up deboer and bama are going to be fine ,i respect constructive criticism but you haters coming in here voicing your shit opinion because bama has stomped you out before, we know we are hated we won and were on top for years ,count deboer out if you want to go ahead ,he has far too much talent and is a damn good coach he is going to be back,no more title runs anymore ,but dont expect this team to go away it aint happening
Oh it’s happening little one. You’re just in denial.😂😂😂😂 your doofus couldn’t even beat Vandy with a roster that won the sec and was in the playoffs the year before😂😂😂😂😂 Sabin knew it was coming and said screw this. Told his wife played don’t give a shit any more. Times have changed little buddy and bama is back in the trash where they belong.😂😂😂😂😂 GBO🧡

If that really was a "we'll try it your way" kind of season so that he can point back to it for a future team like you theorize that puts even more pressure on Debore because now if he doesn't really show out and greatly overachieve (considering the over/under win total for next season is 9.5) and win a minimum 11 games, then to point back and say that would be an embarassing way to admit that you're not the man for the job. That said, i like Debore, i think his offensive prowess was overhyped and proped up by Grubb but we'll leave that for another time, but he is a solid 9 or 10 win coach who can give a great speech.
I’m not lost on Deboers offense yet. Deboers offenses have been successful with dedicated passing QB’s. Jalen Milroe isn’t that at all. I expect a better passing offense next year. Jalen only had 2,800 passing yards, that’s very pedestrian.
Kiffin would give us 10 wins minimum and have it be fun, he stole 2 5*s from Deboer already and Deboer has lost 4 5*s including Haywood, Cunningham, Odom, and Justice.
I’m absolutely loving watching Bama fans lose their shit. They have been spoiled with the GOAT for so long that they really believe God actually owes them wins. Like they really think they’re suppose to win ALL their games by 50 points. If they don’t then they think that means they suck. Man imagine being that full of yourself.
Sabans success was a once in a generation one. It’s not normal. In the world of football normalcy, losses happen. 3 or 4 losses a season happens. Ugly wins happen. Close wins happen. It’s part of sports. That doesn’t mean you suck. It just means you had a close game or a ugly win.
Football success is like any drug. Taking someone off of that drug can have devastating consequences and side effects. And as we see with Bama fans, those consequences and side effect have been very bad lol.
I said at the start of the year Bama fans wouldn’t be able to handle 9-3 or 8-4. Literally every coach Bama has from now til the end of time will be held to sabans standards. And when he fails to meet them after a year, fans will want him gone. Kalen won’t see a 3rd year at Bama. Book it. The fans are too entitled and spoiled.
Lose the locker room. How pathetic is that. These players now run the game and it’s sad. When Saban benched Milroe the oline hated it and sucked while they were in the game. I saw one play where Ty got sacked and two lineman just looked at him
And didn’t help him
Up. Pathetic.
What’s your describing to me is a weak coach. I don’t think Kalin Deore is going to be competitive in SEC. And then you have the transfer portal and the NiL this is going to kill the SEC. There’s no way a southeastern conference team can compete with the money that the northern states have and that’s what it’s all coming down to money.
Yes yes everyone regressed but it's one player's fault instead of a coach in over his head. Grubb and Penix carried Deboer. Dude has the worst offense I have seen. You have to make up conspiracy theories and that EVERY single recruiting service missed out on 17 5*'s to explain his incompetence
Bama fan=c-
Basically as Alabama fan I would give him C+. Inconsistent but did do well with Recruiting. But lost some games they shouldn't have and failed to make 12 Team Playoff even with have Top 5 Talent.
Everyone is talking about how great of a team Deboar inherited, but I remember watching last year and thinking that we looked like one of the worst Bama teams I've seen in at least a decade. This year was disappointing but not necessarily in the win/loss column, imo. I figured we'd get about 9 wins , but I didn't think we'd beat some teams we did and lose to some teams we did.
Milroe was the best rb we've had since King Henry..we just didn't have a QB that could run his system
Sure Pate; all those 18-20ish year olds were just so in love with Milroe that they were willing to sabotage their futures and humiliate themselves against south Florida of all teams just to get back at “mean old Saban”. For sure.
The players held a player only meeting after that game stating this very thing that Milroe is their guy no ifs ands or buts about it. However that definitely wasn’t the attitude of the whole team but some of the key players like Tyler booker was for sure part of the Milroe cult following. No offensive line for other QBs, no team. With the one QB they loved that should’ve been a RB, no efficiency and lack of success
Bama is dead😂😂😂😂😂

@ 17-42 my guy, thats embarrassing. embarrassed the sec lmao
An inexperienced OC combined with not knowing what to do with Milroe led to the offensive woes; bad OL play didn't help, either. One correction I have is that it wasn't bad QB play that lost the Vandy game. Milroe did make two turnovers including a pick-six, but Alabama still put up 35 points in only about 17 minutes of time on the field. It was the defense still trying to learn the 4-2-5 combined with Vandy's option offense that stayed on the field for nearly three quarters that was the difference in that one.
Based on everybody’s expectations and what the Talking Heads were saying prior to the season, I’m giving him a big fat F why because nobody was saying that there was gonna be a drop off and everybody was saying the train is gonna keep moving. Everybody thought Alabama was untouchable with all the transition that happened
And I was only one of a few people said they were gonna win 8 to 9 games

Thank you genius
Nick Saban started 7-6 at Alabama give him some time. Not saying he will be as good as Saban but he will be more prepared next year now that he knows what the sec is all about
What I'm concerned about is behind the scene, the University was playing a role in Milroe being QB1. It was trying to protect its brand after signing on with L𝘼NK. If that's the case, DeBoer's hands were tied and he had no choice.
Such actions cannot remain a secrete, we'll heard about it one day.
