Saban helped make sure Jalen Hurts didn't transfer to Miami

[Handsome Squidbum]

Nick Saban says he advised Jalen Hurts to pick Oklahoma over Miami, Maryland

Nick Saban did an interview with the Philadelphia Eagles' team website in which he touched on Jalen Hurts' decision for a graduate transfer destination.

Yeah, so I really hate that guy.

 

[AllAboutDaU]

I hate him too. But he advised his player to go to the best situation and he it worked out very well. I don’t know how you can hate him for that.

 

[Memnon]

Uhhh, he was right...

Lincoln Riley is 100,000x the better coach & had a far far better offensive system that fit his skill set.

He threw for 3,851yds 32TD's 8INT's at 69.7% completion & ran for 1,298yds & 20TD's.

Had he came to Miami he wouldn't have put up anywhere near those numbers, nor would he have gotten drafted in the 2nd round.

I hate Saban too, but he helped make Hurts make the right decision, no question about it.

Saban wasn't wrong............but he can still eat a d***

 

[Torocane]

I hate saban and Hurts would have helped us I think but the advice wasn't wrong.

 

[gatorsSUCK!]

Helped get **** the heck outta here

 

[WR Cane]

I wish Saban would’ve picked the other Miami.

He was right. And remember, Saban knew Enos. For all those folks who think we stole him from Nick, hard to reconcile with how smart Nick is and how awful Enos was.

 

[Shooter McGavin]

And we got Tate ******* Martell. Saban was right tho.

A big reason the offense didn't work because we had a lazy, pothead QB. You don't know the numbers the offense would have put up with Hurts, but I'd wager it would have been a lot better than it was. Basically you are justifying with circular logic- We had a bad QB, so the offense was bad, therefore it proves that Hurts shouldn't have transferred because the offense was bad with a bad QB.

****, it really wasn't that hard of a choice if you're open minded.

Close thread.

 

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

Totally off topic, even though Saban can fūcking die right now the matter what advice he gives, but what kind of a douche bag wears short sleeves with the sleeves rolled up. Is that some kind of a ghey signal to other men? Should I be worried that I got this ad pop up?

5 out of 7 losses were by 7 points or less. No sane person would argue that Jalen Hurts is worth less than a TD per game over Jarren Williams. If Hurts is QB and you add his one TD per game, then Miami finishes the season 11-2. Oklahoma finished 12-2 with Hurts, pretty much what Miami would have if he'd been the QB here.

You tell me- if Jalen Hurts starts over Jarren Williams, you still think UF beats Miami?

Yea but Hurts still made the right choice, no debate. Can’t even compare the Sooners O-Line to what we put out last year or anyone close to as good as CeeDee Lamb.

If Hurts starts against UF, do you think Miami still loses that game? We lost 24-20 with a first time starting QB that didn't know the offense. It's funny, all you negative nancies know I'm right, but it just makes you feel better to hate on the team.

With Jalen Hurts

UF- win
UNC- win
BCU- win
CMU- win
VT- loss
UVA- win
GT- win
Pitt- win
FSU- win
Louisville- win
FIU- win
Duke- loss
ACC Championship- loss
Bowl game- win

That's 11-3. I'm not wrong.

Hopefully this is EXACTLY what we get out of King this year. If Hurts is worth a TD over Jarren, King is, too. 10-2 regular season, closer loss to Clemson than we'd expect in ACCCG, and winning a bowl game against a legit team to go 11-3 and finish 9th-12th. That's what we expect and should get out of King at QB.

ehhh read the article. Headline is clickbait. The way Saban put it, Hurts came to his office and said I cam go to UM, Maryland, or OU (listed various reasons) Saban's response was essentially go wherever has the best players to surround yourself with the best.

He never said OU over UM, or trashed UM he simply said go were you have a strong supporting cast. Not really rocket science or anything groundbreaking.

You mean...he told the truth? Saban? Fake news.

Did you watch our O-Line that game? We could’ve had Tom Brady out there and nobody was winning that game for us except for Butch muthafvckin Davis! That was also one of Jarren’s best games of the year! Here’s what we know: Dan Enos was a ****** O coordinator, Lincoln Riley is cutting edge, Hurts went to a place that could showcase his abilities, Enos wanted to run an Arkansas offense from 10 years ago, Miami wasn’t going to any CFP, Oklahoma did. Oklahoma’s talent was undoubtedly better than ours.
Now, would we have been better with Hurts than with Smokey Williams? We all know the answer to that. Still doesn’t mean the kid should’ve come here.
