Silver Lining
- Injury: My only concern is how in the world did Bowden think last winter (b/c LR certainly thought so) that the current roster was sufficiently stacked/competent at key positions?!

Carson Palmer
- QB: Hiring yet another QB to run the ship would be a disaster and defies common sense after 4 former QB failures.

The next 2 months and CLR...some insight

My coaching list

OL Splits

Hiring GP = Fail

Saban vs Riley
- Offense: To the shock of no one, that game also ended with Riley's top tier offense in a shootout and completely unable to stop the opposition.

Riley Shouldn't Be Fired
- Pick/market: The way they approached the portal didn’t seem like this was a playoff “make or break year.” Needed linebackers and safeties but spent big to bring in the #1 hs class instead.
