Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs calls out critics of Bill O’Brien

Jahmyr Gibbs comes to the defense of Alabama offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien.

One of the most criticized coordinators in the entire country resides in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Crimson Tide offensive coordinator [autotag]Bill O’Brien[/autotag] has drawn more than his fair share of criticisms over the last two seasons even though he helped to deliver the program’s first Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback.

Even still, the Alabama offense has moments that have left fans and analysts in disbelief.

Alabama is just a few days away from wrapping up the 2022 football season when they face Kansas State in the Allstate Sugar Bowl on Saturday.

On Wednesday, star running [autotag]Jahmyr Gibbs[/autotag] would speak to the media and be immediately asked about the criticism of coach O’Brien, and Gibbs would not mix words in his response.

“A lot of people have never played in a college game before, never coached in a college game before. He’s coached in the NFL, he’s coached in college, so I guess he knows what he’s doing.”

Obviously, Gibbs believes the criticism of O’Brien is not warranted and whether you agree with Gibbs or not is irrelevant. Gibbs believes in his OC and player belief is all that matters at this point.

If we are being honest, Gibbs makes a great point. Many folks within the media and the fan base have never called one single play at the college level, let alone in the NFL.

Nevertheless, how boring would college football be if we could not rant and rave about the playcalling from time to time?

Coach O’Brien could help end the season on the right note with a strong performance on Saturday against the Wildcats.

Below is everything else Gibbs had to say during his Wednesday press conference.
