There is a way to keep both Bobo and Martinez. I don't like it becuase I don't think either of them are competitive in DivI football. Nonetheless, replace the staff underneath them with position and strength coaches who will build absolutely rock solid fundamentals. In effect you push Bobo and Martinez further into management in order to remove them from the field of play. Would it work? Of course it would work. Bama's playbooks and schemes are even more simplistic and predictable than ours. But they have absolutely flawless execution of the basics. Once you cover the basics in your sleep then you can start improving the fancy stuff.
I completely agree with you, Swampdog. My issue with CMB has never been with his fundamental playbook, it's been with the fact that he can't seem to help people hang onto the ball. No one catches, fumbles galore, and both Stafford and Cox throw TOO MANY INTs! Not to mention drive-killing penalties. People always say Florida is better than Alabama because they're more fun to watch. But Alabama wins football games with essentially three plays. That's the way WE won when Herschel was here. It's because our guys were fundamentally sound. I hate to say this about my Georgia Bulldogs, but...are we the LAZIEST team in the SEC?
