I've always been skeptical of 'Bama players...do a google search on Alabama players in the NFL...there's a hundred or so and change. Read through the list and see how many you recognize? Winning college championships doesn't always translate...the depth of those 'Bama teams and 5 star recruits amazes..sometimes you have to wonder if each individual player reached their potential considering whom he was lining up beside.

They like Garrett the person. He is a real sweet heart. LOL

But you can here the announcers laughing in his face over the years wondering on occasion what the heck he is doing. And Jimmy Johnson certainly threw in a few barbs towards Garrett.

Jimmy throws barbs at any Cowboys coach besides himself.

Actually, I'm not sure if Rolando was a Garrett choice or a Jerry choice. I would love to be a fly on the wall to hear their
discussions these days!
Ill give Garrett a pass on this one and say it was Jerry. IF it was Garrett then the guy is nothing but a complete liar.

It seems more like a Jerry move than a Garrett one. Garrett at least seems like he tries to practice what he preaches.

It was a decision thoroughly vetted by Garrett. Garrett stated many times that he reached out to Saban before they traded for McClain.

Henry has looked good in preseason though and he doesn't have the benefit of running behind our OL. I know it's not the regular season and I would keep Zeke over Henry but he hasn't looked bad.

Tennessee gonna have a great run game this year, most likely second behind us with Murray and Henry
Henry would destroy behind our O line. Chancellor would have been concussed tackling him. 245lb of muscle coming right at ya

Sometimes coaches feel like father figures to players and want to help them any way they can. I guess McClain and Saban have that kind of relationship. Sadly McClain seems to have lost the passion for football and is seeking other things to fill whatever he feels is missing in his life.

I think Garrett would be a better coach without Jerry.

He would have been fired long ago if not for Jerry and he wouldn't have had absolute control of the offense for as long as he did, nor have had his brother prompted from TE coach to passing game coordinator in one year if not for Jerry.

Garrett is where he is at because he is protected by Jerry. So is Garrett's father and his other brother.

Garrett is terrible. That being said, I do think he would adhere more to his RKG nonsense more if Jerry wasnt meddling with drug addicts and GREAT fathers.

Garrett is terrible? In what sense?

And what's this 'great father' thing you've posted in this thread 5 times already?

I dont like Garrett as a coach. And the father reference is to McClain where guys said he was missing OTA's because he was a good father. Both sarcastic digs.

It was reported that McClain did spend OTAs with his family. The whole story on him is that he wanted to be close to his family.
