I think EB and Sam have a decent rapport and making Sam learn another new system might be detrimental. Ben Johnson could be the next Mcvay/Kyle Shan so missing on him would hurt, and BB is him but I question his motivation to bring a new team from the gutter at this point in his career.
Gun to my head I choose Ben Johnson cuz I do think he’s the next up and coming young coach and we’ve missed on too many of those. I wish we gave the team to EB I really thought Ron was gone after yesterday; we need to see what EB can do with the team in his hands imo. BB seems like a wildcard but the rumors are certainly there rn. Those seem like the most likely 3 to me though
Supposedly Keim said players aren’t too keen on firing Ron and having EB as coach… wouldn’t be a raiders situation where we rally around him. The players know there is no other potential HC on this roster
I think that’s because Ron undermined EB from minute one. He opened his big mouth about them not being able to handle the workload instead of handling it internally.
I was in the camp of, they’ve been mediocre for so long, they aren’t used to the work and prep needed to be a champion.
For sure, always confused me. Dude sometimes says some internal shit. I sometimes wonder if that’s why we suck… we just don’t practice and prepare as well as elite teams. I coach has to ask for it… but the players have to set the tone. I would imagine our Alabama and OSU boys are used to it but I really wanna know who/what they were complaining about.
