Welcome back to THIS WEEK IN SCHADENFREUDE Calvin Ridley Jersey 2019 , your weekly limousine ride down the angriest boulevards of the college football internet. teams that have lost games — whether that’s just one set of fans or a handful. But Week 11 had no earth-shattering results, except for one team that badly disappointed its fan base: No. 1 Alabama, which only won 24-0 against ranked Mississippi State and looked slightly clunky in doing it. In all likelihood, we’re not getting another chance this year to poke fun at sad Alabama fans. Around these parts, we believing in seizing the opportunity, so let’s do it: What’s wrong with future Heisman-winning QB Tua Tagovailoa?Like, what if he’s emotionally ruined? Yeah, he’s maybe a little bit dinged up. After the game, Saban said, “I think he’s fine.” And he’d better be, because if Alabama’s star QB sits out a game, the Tide might have to use their other star QB. More worries:Embarrassing (for maybe the best QB in the country Black Calvin Ridley Jersey , which Alabama has). And the stakes are huge, because if Bama doesn’t win the SEC, it’s also well established that the Playoff committee definitely will not let the Tide into the top four: Clearly. What if Tagovailoa and Nick Saban are somehow in cahoots, and the “injury” to the QB’s “knee” is really a cover for something deeper? “I’m not going to make excuses for Tua,” one poster responded. “I don’t think the knee is affecting his accuracy much.” Agreed. It’s time for the country’s No. 2 QB in passer rating to take responsibility for his play. Does Tagovailoa just not have the “personality” to lead? We have to consider the possibility: The first reply to this concern about an offense that usually scores a touchdown within the first two minutes: This demands further exploration, anyway. Is the problem that Tagovailoa is from Hawaii? One fan wrote:Is that sarcastic? I mean, maybe. I’d be inclined to say yes. But this thing was from last year ...... and despite the internet swearing it was a joke, it doesn’t seem like it was.So you tell me. We’re all sort of in no-man’s land out here on the internet. Can Tagovailoa even still win the Heisman?His year had such promise, too. And what on Earth was Alabama doing on its last drive, when — up 24 — it turned the ball over on downs at the Mississippi State 1? The play call was brutal. Why would Alabama’s blue-chip running game try to run up the middle? People offered these two answers for the failure to score and win 31-0 instead of 24-0: “One hand is tied behind your back in that situation. They FLAT KNEW we weren’t passing.”“And our best run blocker was on the sideline.” But I’m not satisfied. Another poster started a message board thread that said “Miss St gave CF blueprint on how to beat Bama,” but a moderator deleted the body to only read, “Try again.” Why do the football gods hate Alabama so much? At least the kicking game was good. But a commenter at Roll Bama Roll pointed out: These poor people. Going forward, will Bama have trouble with 3-5 FCS team The Citadel? The Tide mildly struggled with one triple-option team three years ago, so: Then Black Takkarist McKinley Jersey , will Bama have trouble with four-loss Auburn? Perhaps!And Auburn looks so good these days, so:Someone countered with this point: But that was quickly addressed: Fortunately, the Bama offense may have an answer on the way in 2019. Someone smartly asked Sunday afternoon: A better question: Is there any way he isn’t? When this process began, I never would have suspected that the Falcons would hire 2012-2014 offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter as their replacement for Steve Sarkisian. Yet that’s exactly what they’ve done, as we learned today that Koetter is the newest Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator.The team confirmed the news on Tuesday. Dan Quinn’s response won’t surprise you. “We are fired up to have Dirk join our staff as our offensive coordinator,” Quinn said via the team’s media relations staff. “His experience and familiarity with our division will also pay dividends as we move forward.”Why Koetter? The Falcons will have plenty to say, I’m certain, but familiarity with Matt Ryan has to be a leading factor whether the team will admit it or not. Ryan likes, respects and had some genuine success with Koetter, albeit mostly only for a single season, and Koetter can slide right in with this quarterback and this personnel group without a major transition for anyone. That had to be attractive for Dan Quinn, who just cleaned out all his coordinators and is not looking for any sort of rebuild or teardown whatsoever. Koetter’s involvement, however faint, with a tremendously productive passing game in Tampa Bay also didn’t hurt his cause. He’s a solid hire with a long track record in the NFL. The case against Koetter is pretty straightforward Takkarist McKinley Jersey 2019 , as well. He’s never been the play caller for an elite offense in his career, coming closest with a majestic rushing attack in 2007 in Jacksonville and in 2012 with a Falcons team that went all the way to the Conference Championship Game. Other than that, he’s mostly presided over solid-but-unspectacular units, many with severe personnel limitations. It was deeply concerning to see him take over play calling from Todd Monken this season, however briefly, and watch a productive Tampa Bay passing attack go into the toilet. Koetter’s track record simply has not been good enough to feel wonderful about this hire, with the acknowledgement that he’s never had such an elite personnel grouping before, not with Michael Turner declining so sharply back in 2012.We’ll have to hope this hire surprises us, then, and that Koetter will prove more a visionary than a steward after Steve Sarkisian milquetoastedly called this Falcons offense into a top 10 finish in 2018. If he can elevate this team’s offense even further as they look to rebound in 2019, Koetter will be a very popular man in Atlanta.
