Around SBN: Stan Van Gundy Fired As Head Coach Of The Magic

Alabama copying the McCluster pass

 

I kid you not Alabama just unsuccessfully copied our sweep to the right from about the 25 yard line and had Mark Ingram throw to the end zone.

 

The announcer then said, "Nick Saban came up with a great play there." It wouldn't be such a big deal if CBS was not covering both games. You'd think that someone was paying enough attention last week to remember that play and mention it, and certainly not pretend that Nick Saban invented it. Okay. I guess I'll get off my soapbox now. This is what I get for living in Europe in the Fall and not getting to go to a single game all season. I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.

Ole Miss is invisible. What we do doesn’t last longer than 20 minutes.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one to notice this. In all fairness we had the “‘B’- Team” from CBS today so they were probably not familiar enough with Ole Miss to recognize that the play happened.

No offense, but saying we invented that play...

is on the same level as Hog fans saying Gus Malzahn invented the Wildcat formation.

I thought about how that sounded after I wrote it

I definitely didn’t mean to sound like we invented that play. I just mainly was surprised the CBS guy suggested Saban did when we ran the same play last week on CBS. I was worried I would sound like the exact analogy you used there after I thought about it. Haha.

came up with...

he could have also said…

Called a great play…
dialed in a great play…
signaled in a…
etc. etc.etc.

"The goal is to be a champion," Saban said. "I didn’t say to win a championship. I just said be a champion. That’s our goal here. That’s what we want to do."- Nick Saban

I noticed this, too

Kept waiting for the Ole Miss love. Never happened.

Don't try and lay no boogie woogie on the king of rock 'n roll.

actually saw 2 Ole miss plays from LSu game..

there was another play(sorry I forget which one) that we had run against LSU noticed it ran along with HB pass….I wonder how many times coaches see a play another teams run and put it in… I would like to see us run zone read with Cotton, and some motion like auburn with the reverse pitch

The double reverse out of the Wildcat where Greg McElroy

get the ball and throws it downfield is a direct copy of something we ran in the Cotton Bowl. Nick Saban has said before that he respects Houston Nutt a lot so none of this really surprises me.
