Coaches, Opt-Outs & Looking Ahead https://pinecast.com/guid/95136e52-ca43-43a3-be1b-10de7a31c691 Tue, 20 Dec 2022 02:15:46 -0000 00:30:58 https://throw-the-flag-sports.pinecast.co/episode/95136e52/coaches-opt-outs-looking-ahead

Bryce Young and Will Anderson aren’t skipping the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Eve. That’s a big deal, even if the game isn’t. In fact, Alabama isn’t expecting any opt-outs for its bowl game.

There was a major uproar when Leonard Fournette and Christian McCaffrey skipped their bowl games in 2016 to avoid injury and secure their positions in the NFL Draft. Now, what was taboo only six years ago is now a commonplace strategy for players who want to avoid losing millions of dollars on their first professional contract.

Young, the Tide’s quarterback, won the Heisman Trophy and nine other awards for his play in 2021. He was a freshman on the 2020 team that won the national championship. He holds multiple Alabama and SEC passing records. He has nothing to gain and everything to lose by playing in the Sugar Bowl. He’ll be on the field in New Orleans in Crimson and White.

How does Alabama turn it around in 2023? https://pinecast.com/guid/0245111f-d42f-4259-abe1-285391a0d183 Tue, 08 Nov 2022 01:18:31 -0000 00:43:30 https://throw-the-flag-sports.pinecast.co/episode/0245111f/fire-saban-how-does-alabama-turn-it-around-in-2023- It’s time to fire, Saban! Get rid of Alabama’s coordinators. After its second loss in three games the Tide’s playoff hopes are done, so it’s time to look ahead to next season. That starts with finally getting rid of Pete Golden and Bill O’Brien. Is it time to panic for the entire program? Not really. Alabama has adjusted to an ever-changing game over the years to rise above and win more national championships. But we’d be lying if we said it just feels different this time. Is the dynasty over? Probably not. As long as storied programs like LSU and Tennessee rush the field (shame on y’all) after a win against Alabama, the Tide remains the standard.

After 22 months of almost scandals and disappointment on the field, Auburn finally fired head coach Bryan Harsin Monday, hours after a 41-27 home loss to Arkansas. Who does Auburn hire next?

They're taking their time, naming running backs coach Cadillac Williams as interim head coach. That move may have already complicated things. More on that later.

As Williams takes the reins down in The Plains, the discussion around who Auburn hires next will focus on three candidates: Hugh Freeze, Deion Sanders and Lane Kiffin. Let's take a look where each coach could lead the Tigers.

How are Tide fans doing? No. 3-ranked Tennessee’s dramatic 3-point victory Saturday night ended a 15-year drought against No. 6 Alabama, sending Tide fans into a spiral of existential doubt, sorrow, and at least five more stages of grief. For your hosts of the Throw The Flag podcast, it’s difficult to write a recap of a loss so devastating to your own college football mental health. But here we go.
