So, maybe the right games, just a little overdone. I guess the great ones would be 49-0 and losing to Alabama on some very questionable no-calls and Ewers going out after 10 points in 2 possessions. Then there’s the TCU debacle, but still…

This is the post I was referring to.  Seems legit. On 1/9/2023 at 1:28 PM, FreeHorn said: GP’s main issue this year was he thought the scheme would get to soft at times. He too wanted to see more press looks and coverages versus some of the games where we let them have free five yard hitches and outs all game long. And I’m not hunting for screenshots.  If it wasn’t 15, it was at least 10 and the gist of what I said holds.  PK prefers to play too soft and it burned us this year and last.

We were definitely much better about the DB alignment this year than the year before. Hopefully we don't revert  The soft passive coverage definitely screwed us vs Tech.

Impressive in its stupidity, considering Kwiatkowski and Patterson are good friends. Don't forget we just didn't have the god damn personnel in year 1. We just didn't. That was a problem pre-Patterson, unless you really think any defensive coordinator could field a good defense with Bush, Brockemeyer, Schooler and Foster. PK even said so during this past offseason that they didn't have the personnel in 2021. We've upgraded the defensive talent considerably, and it took a while for the light to come in and the coaching to take for some guys like Ford. Oh and we had that issue where our QB and OL play absolutely folded in the 2nd half of games in 2021, forcing our already bad/undertalented defense to be on the field even more.Â
January 13, 20232 yr Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Sark get Wiggins in principle the first time around only for compliance to say no?Â
January 13, 20232 yr 10 minutes ago, Ricky's one-hitter said: Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Sark get Wiggins in principle the first time around only for compliance to say no? I don't believe so. Sark wanted Wiggins on his initial staff but Saban wasn't going to allow his entire offensive staff to be off to Texas in one off-season so Wiggins was given the Assistant Head Coach title and a pay raise. At least that's how I remember it now.Â

And fuck all, Raymond would have been excellent.

January 13, 20232 yr IT on the WR search Wide receiver coach Our info guides us to the belief Alabama wide receiver coach Holman Wiggins is Steve Sarkisian’s main target for the same position at Texas. We’ve mainly arrived to that opinion by process of elimination. Wiggins was originally a top candidate to join Sark’s inaugural staff before Nick Saban made a push to keep Wiggins in Tuscaloosa. We don’t believe it will be Arizona State’s Ra’Shaad Samples or South Carolina’s Justin Stepp, though both have interest. Baylor’s Justin Johnson reunited with Joey McGuire and elected to go to Texas Tech earlier in the week. We hear Wiggins does at least have some interest in Texas, however his sights are set on breaking into the OC ranks. Word is he even turned down UNLV before Barry Odom offered the job to Brennan Marion. If true, that’s another reminder of how carousel dominoes can come out of nowhere to affect a school. It’s entirely possible there are other candidates unknown to everyone but Sark and his tight circle. So, we’re also on the lookout for someone out of left field.Â

January 13, 20232 yr What's Wiggins' reputation as a recruiter overall? He certainly has some nice names on his 247 page but I'm curious how much of the leg work he was actually doing in those recruitments vs just having his name attached.

January 13, 20232 yr Looks like Saban is losing his DC, Pete Golding, to Ole Miss. Will be interesting to see if he allows Wiggins to leave.

Seems like the defense did much better this year, although they gave up 30 plus in each of their losses. Â
January 13, 20232 yr Gerry also added on a YouTube video today that multiple people have been told that the #1 priority for the next receivers coach is development and being able to manage and control the receivers room. Gerry said he has been told that is the priority over recruiting.

January 13, 20232 yr Filani is interesting because his background is almost all air raid. Would be an interesting voice to add to the offensive staff.

Saban is pushing guys out the door and that probably includes Wiggins too. 9.95ers have said a lot of the Wiggins to Texas talk is actually coming from the Bama side.
January 13, 20232 yr 33 minutes ago, PNWhornsfan said: Looks like Saban is losing his DC, Pete Golding, to Ole Miss. Will be interesting to see if he allows Wiggins to leave. Saban has been irritated with Golding for 2 or 3 seasons now. Saban activated the trap door he has in front of his desk during their season ending review.Â
