App st, Ohio, bama, scar and vandy. I think the coaching staff kept him reigned in those games.
Tell me, do you recall him hitting a hot read on a corner or safety blitz? Do you honestly think the coaches gave him the green light to pull the ball and run on the read option in every game? Because if they did he wasn't very good at it in those games.
I'm not knocking Dobbs, he is one of my favorite all time VOLS., I just think he could halve been better in certain games and I blame it on coaching.
There is no chance Bama would ever hire Kiffin. Get a damn grip on reality.
I mentioned during the season that Kerby said as much on a Pennington's Sports Source telecast. Per him, Dobbs had authority much of the time. He just didn't read them right according to a good former O-lineman that blocked for him for several years. I take Kerby at his word because it matches what I saw. Quite honestly, people have Dobbs all wrong as being a DT. He is a Tee Martin, a mobile pro style. He does his best work running the ball when he is improvising. But he is a much better pocket passer when he has time to set his feet and be in rhythm. He just never learned to step up into the pocket very well and is not great at reading coverages.
This offense will work better with a true DT despite what Butch said when he arrived. JG is that type of guy. QD is not. If Butch continues to refuse to modify the scheme, the only way they are going to win at a higher level is to start JG day one in 2017 and suffer through the learning curve. So if that is how it is going forward they need an OC that is also a DT QB coach, or, they are forced to hire a QB coach with an OC that coaches another position. The most important position on the field deserves as much. Sorry, Butch.
