Lest ye forget, another DA bungle: losing Aaron Glenn, Ryan Nielsen, and Kris Richard

What I blame DA for is hiring Marrone. Our Oline has regressed leaps and bounds with the guy Saban fired after ONE yr.
Come on man! What you talking about. Doug has been saddled w/ a QB that hangs on to the ball for way to long, a bust at (Penning) LT, Ruiz's extended contract for a guy who wouldn't start on just about any other team, Ram w/ a bad knee, and an over the hill guard in Pete. The rest are a collection of misfit toys Garcia, Hurst, Young etc. We haven't regressed, we haven't been good since Armstead left!

Blaming Doug is just silly. There was no expectation that Ala was going to keep a former 2 time NFL coach as there DL coach anyway. There is many reasons why people leave Sabans staff, and many leave early and often.

Perhaps if DA and Loomis would have listened to Doug about who should start at LT, we would not be in this mess. But, Penning wasn't Doug's call.
