Sumlin wasn't 6-0 vs AP top 25 teams

True. But he's 44-20 with a 21-19 SEC record in five seasons in the WEST division and beat Bama twice, once on the road and once when they were the #1 team. He beats the better teams in the west frequently. Move that to the east and watch what happens with a better DC.

That last one was the only one that has been an actual PI imo...however, that ball looked un catchable too!!

Did you see Fuentes mumble "you've got to be SH!tting me..." 😂

Just like harbaugh would never go to Michigan, the Celtics never hiring Brad Stevens, etc. He's been under saban and has prob learned something. If he becomes a head coach and wins, he will be a hot commodity. Why the hell would Dabo leave a job where he has complete backing, pretty much 100% job security and an easy route to the playoffs to go follow one of if not the best college coach ever? You need a grip on reality, that's career suicide if he doesn't win the NC immediately

Said no one ever. I expected both of the things you mentioned to happen.

I also expect Harbaugh to be coach of Bears in 2018.

Do you think he was bad at reading it or he just didn't want to run sometimes?

Both actually. Just was never sure of himself. He would read it wrong once or twice and then freeze up about it and make the safe handoff regardless of the right read. That's the way it sounded from Kerby and appeared to me. A lot of it Butch covered up by saying it was gap scheme run plays when they really were not. Butch's stock run play and the read option have similar formations, blocking and QB/RB actions initially. A lot of times posters on here were mad at the O-line or for Hurd going two yards and falling down when it was Dobbs not making the right read and carrying out the play. Who knows, they may have coached him to err on the side of caution and hand off if he had any doubts.

If you notice Dobbs running style is straight up and down, very little body lean. That's not a real DT. He took some monster hits as a result. The staff had to see the same thing and wanted to limit it for potential injury purposes.

All of that is lack of development, which may be the player's fault, the coaches' fault, or both.

No doubt sumlin is a good coach but I think Herman is going to be special at Texas

That all makes perfect sense and also speaks to his tendency to check down when we needed plays down the field, such as the end of the vandy game. Defaulted to the safe play, either because of being coached that way or his own personality.

Hokies are playing tough, really think we got Wilcox too early in his career and wish he would've stayed. That was a heck of a coach Dooley brought in.. can't believe I just said that

I agree. I think Herman is going to be really special. Which I am not really looking forward to all the media love for Texas again.

True but Texas being good puts at least a little strain on Bama's recruiting dynasty. Maybe now they'll just get the No.2 class every year

Exactly. Really good observation. Did not fully grasp the situation and did not want to make a mistake, which is exactly what he did. He is really strange at times in the passing game for that many starts in the toughest conference with quality players around him. I expected the experience to really improve him even if the development was substandard. Multiple times I have seen him do the opposite of your situation, make a difficult contested throw down the field after having plenty of time - yet - in the flat was Kamara, Hurd or Kelly waiting and waving their hands with nothing but open field ahead of them. He had to know, he just could not adjust his thinking.

Just saw it suggested in another thread that Alexis Johnson is a candidate for a medical red-shirt. This seems right.
