Alabama head coach Nick Saban recently did his weekly radio appearance on “Hey Coach”. While doing so, he mentioned that one former Alabama football player was unhappy with the state of the team. That player happens to be Bo Scarbrough who spent four seasons with the Tide.
Saban commented on what was said between him and Scarbrough during their conversation. “Bo Scarbrough was here today and he put his finger on the table and said, ‘When we played here, we were making sure that the other team, when the game was over, would say we never wanna play them again.’ … That’s the kind of culture that we want to recreate,” he said.
That is a strong statement from the former Tide ball carrier. However, it could be the truth. Alabama has had a lot of close games this season and has lost to two rivals this season.
This team has been penalized more than any Alabama team that Saban has ever coached. That said, the issues seemed to have plagued the team so far this season. Although the Tide is not totally out of the playoff picture, the chances of them making it are close to absolute zero.
Scarbrough isn’t the only former player frustrated. Others like Marquis Maze and Will Lowery have each voiced their opinions on the state of the team. Each has been critical of the standard and culture of the current team. Needless to say, there could be a lot of adjustments being made in the offseason in terms of coordinators as well as other assistant coaches within the program.
Saban: "Bo Scarbrough was here today and he put his finger on the table and said, 'When we played here, we were making sure that the other team, when the game was over, would say we never wanna play them again.' … That's the kind of culture that we want to recreate."
