FFS he didn’t compare himself to a great jockey riding a bad horse. He said, “No one bets on the jockey, they bet on the horse, right? And to win the Derby you need the right horse.” Seems like a fairly apt analogy.
Is Alabama a dynasty because of Xs and Os or getting the best athletes year in and year out in? Wayner loves to talk about the correlation between recruiting highly ranked players in basketball with teams that win at a high level. But apparently our football coach points out that exact same correlation, he’s trash.
His comment about the O Line was specifically regarding the two deep having almost no contribution to the line which is a major problem. It’s objectively true.
He isn’t singling out the guys that are playing, he’s saying that after these guys are gone there is basically no production/experience to take their place because of poor roster construction by previous staff.
He then goes on to acknowledge that it has to be addressed and takes accountability for doing so. It’s one of those takes where I listen to it the first time and I’m kinda like 🤔 but then when I go back to it, it’s clear what his intent was and it wasn’t throwing anyone under the bus.
