Super sucks HH is retiring. And bummer Luke is out. Both were tough guys. Hoping we are going "nice" again...

super meh

Lot of teams have lots newness... The HC needs to show out. Big year for Freeman.

Yup. Best lateral in CFB. If he sucks, he'll suck. But great opportunity to bet on himself.

Sorry, but your response is simpleton.... So couple questions???? Dare you answer... who were the top 4? or is that your rumor... who were the last 4 OCs, what were the # that year? where did they come from. where did they end up after when Bama? lol

On the roster, still seems math still is a bit out of whack. 24 signed, 5 new transfers. The 23 class looks like we'll be #10. Disappointing... given the start. 21 and 22 were better, and IMO both underrated (especially Alt21 and Morrison22)... 24 rank is banked on Carr right now. Hope that sticks...

Part of me thinks 9-3, part of me thinks 12-0.... If we are for real, we need to win vs OSU and USC at home... New OSU QB... USC's QB is going to good. USC's D? Don't know... No idea about Klubnik (Clemson). Year #2 is big for Freeman. I like our new QB... Without Rees, no idea about our O though. And if we end up with UT's OC, will be confused. I'd be much more optimistic with Rees.

Not excited about Ludwig.... unless he has a alter ego that is a passing genius.

IMO... not a hard choice. If he was next in line for ND, then it would tough. But we have a young HC already. Working for the best HC in CFB right now, perhaps best ever... Probably best springboard in the nation.. Succeed, and a nice D1 HC job, or even a NFL OC job... Probably the best chance to win a ring in the next 3 years... Cruit'n is easier... funding is easier.... weather is better.... facilities are better... top 5 QBs most years... top 5 rank in 5 stars in most years...

I thought the same thing when announced... Yup. Rumor was he had position coaching offers in the NFL too the last two years. The Rees complainers... just giggles right now. I don't know if he'll be great, or have a great career... but he has done well in a tough situation. This is lol. People get in line to subject themselves to learn from Saban. Look at OCs, DCs, and position coaches over the years. OCing at Bama, who is the #1 team of the last decade+, is better path than a HCing at a crap D1 team or even a NFL position coach job. 5th or 50th. Doesn't matter. Bama OC or DC is probably the best springboard in the nation.

Future is fun... lol. Gonna be fast i guess. Young guys, position switches, etc. I like the HC making choices.

You could argue best safety guys are from the CB room.

Speed, strength, etc.. gotta love it. I wish it could it took it. Instincts, brains, etc. need too. young.

Minich had 300+ yards on offense receiving. He was their starting X IIRC, and was their #3 per what I read. Doesn't matter to be honest. The point is he wasn't focused only on D. He at minimum he was either a starter WR or #3, also returned kicks and punts, and also ran track. Now, he'll be 100% focused. That doesn't mean he'll be good. Just now he'll be focused.

Our S scheme is a bit mixed (not really straight FS and SS). And bleeds between S and NB. I have no clue how the S depth chart looks in September, but I'd guess we'll see some change. Obvious returning guys - Brown/Watts/Henderson Transfers - Harper was listed S at OSU, but played a hybrid NB/S position. He could be either NB or S in 23. I like him at NB, but skinny. He can pattern match in verts, so wouldn't be shocked if he's a S in our scheme. Chatter is we're still looking for more Ss..... Frosh - both likely will need time, but both will get looks. Both have great traits. Position swap (from CB) - IMO, our CB room will be crowded. Perhaps Riley, Barnes, or Tucker jumps from CB to S. I'd bet at least one does...
