Honestly, i wanted Jeremy Bates as the QB coach, BUT i will give this hire a wait and see approach, not a fan of Mike Shula (didnt do well at Bama), but maybe he will surprise me. If he can make Clausen a better quarterback, then that will surprise me.

It was rumored that Bates was let go because he was hard to get along with

He is not being hired as a head coach which is what he was at Alabama. Totally different skill sets. There is a long history of guys who make great position coaches who don't make great coordinators or head coaches.

As a quarterback coach I think he will be fine. As a head coach I would have serious concerns. But his experience as an OC and head coach will help him as a quarterback coach understanding the larger picture. Plus he played well in the league and his strength was his tenacity and hard work given he wasn't the most physically talented player. Should be a great mentor for Clausen who will also have to rely on other skills than great measurables and athletic talent.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!

      Inappropriate relationship with a team staffer, followed up with some stalking behavior, and ultimately a felony home invasion charge from a visit at her apartment that culminated in him threatening her life and his as well.
