It sounds like this kid just didn’t mesh well with coach Shepherd. I sort of get that. The dude seems pretty fucking intense.

Football generally is pretty intense. I wonder if playing for Saban would be intense? I wonder?

I didn't read the article, but my impression was that Polk and J-Mac coming back along with Bernard and Boston would mean zero playing time for foreseeable future.

If Polk and McMillan are 100 percent committed to leaving or coming back right now either way I would be surprised. If they look great in the remaining game(s) they'd be silly not to leave if they are at least a day 2 selection.

Inverse of that is if they are not a day 2 selection it's probably in their best interest to come back.

Some guys are fine playing for a coach like Saban. Others want to play for a coach like Pete Carrol. From what I’ve seen Shepherd isn’t exactly what I’d call a “players coach.”

Explain this to me like I’m a child… the Shep not being a players coach thing and what exactly players coach means.
