The CheckerBoard

I'm over Chaney too. He abandons the run too quick and I'm tired of seeing low percentage deep passes on 3rd and short-medium situations. The run plays he does call are always pounding the middle. How about some off tackle stuff or use our rbs speed on tosses or sweeps.

Chavis got screwed too when lame kitten was brought in. I don't see him coming back.

Laugh all you want. He will never be back.

I'd take Phil back in a second. If not as head coach, as associate AD in charge of football. If you look at his career closely you'll see that his success began to wane when Dickey retired. Dickey was his mentor and sounding board. Dickey's retirement left a huge void. Maybe Phil would at least be the right person in the mentor role if not as HC.

Truer words have rarely been spoken.

I actually agree that he is not the answer but he may be a better bridge to the future at this point.

Fulmer's kids are also out of the house now. He used to say that he hated spending time away from the house all the time because he missed his kids, but their gone now. So maybe he would come back with the same intensity that he had in the 1990's. My only concern with brininging him back is even in the 90's he under achieved with the talent that he had. Obviously at this point beggars can't be choosiers but I'd hate to see us return to that, because I'm fearful that Phil would never beat Saban. Just my 2 cents.

Sounds good to me. I think maybe both sides have learned a lesson.
