Not really.
January 6th, 2019 at 9:21 PM ^
Ask Dan about his time as head coach at Central Michigan.
January 6th, 2019 at 9:40 PM ^
So he wasn’t a great head coach, wasn’t like he was going to be that here either. Doesn’t mean he can’t be a great assistant.
January 6th, 2019 at 9:55 PM ^
It's not about Dan's X's and O's, it's all about Bama's Jimmy's, Joe's and Nick Saban.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:37 AM ^
Saban has had bad assistants that he’s let go, plus Harbaugh wanted Enos too!
January 7th, 2019 at 9:14 AM ^
You’re not wrong but what are you talking about? Good and bad coaches have come and gone at Bama through their five national championships in nine seasons under Saban. This year could be six in ten. Clearly Enos is benefiting from being a part of an historic dynasty.
January 6th, 2019 at 9:45 PM ^
Agreed.
January 6th, 2019 at 8:50 PM ^
Dan Penos can smell my ass

I've never understood this. Who logs out and into this website to post?

My iPhone logs me out all the time.

My phone logs me off eventually but it's like once every few months.
January 7th, 2019 at 9:52 AM ^
People who jerk off to porn at the library

The website on Chrome browser on Windows Laptop logs me out all the time as well.

He doesn't use spit tobacco so once Jimmy offered him Kodiak he gone.
January 6th, 2019 at 8:57 PM ^
Fuck you Enos
January 6th, 2019 at 9:08 PM ^
fuck Dan Anus he is still a Sharty after all
January 6th, 2019 at 9:22 PM ^
.....but hey, we had Pep and Shark-humper!
January 6th, 2019 at 10:41 PM ^
Shark fucker might have been the greatest WR coach of all time.
But how the hell would we know?
January 6th, 2019 at 9:06 PM ^
Every coach at Alabama looks good. Its all Nice Saban.
January 6th, 2019 at 9:14 PM ^
People said the same bullshit when we got bama's offensive coordinator..
turns out once you don't have an entire roster full of 5 stars it shows you can't coach very well..

I have said this many times. With the athletes they get and the competition that they face, the coaches could have these kids two steps out of place and they will react quicker and make it up.
January 6th, 2019 at 9:16 PM ^
What was the point of posting this? It just confirms what we already know, which is that Enos is a spineless scumbag, just like Manny Diaz and countless others in CFB.
Seriously, articles like this come out every year before the SB, before the CFP, before many big games, really.
I remember last year when my Eagles were in the SB there were dozens of similar articles about John DeFilippo and the team's assistant QB coach even (Press Taylor). Every journalist likes to think they've found the "magical," overlooked staff member who's critical to a team's success, when, realistically, it's due to a confluence of factors. In this case, Enos is serving under a talented OC, who's serving under probably the greatest coach in college football history. The fact that he's had success with a former 5 star-recruit and with a former highly-ranked 4-star recruit, both of whom have starting experience, is not really news.
January 7th, 2019 at 12:11 AM ^
Confluence of factors...certainly true. But of course the same holds true when results arent great as well. And yet people will call coaches worthless and useless on the flimsiest of evidence. How convinced people with little to no in depth knowledge of the team’s inner workings were that Drevno was the worst..., of course, now its Pep or maybe Jay Harbaugh even. Its almost like they always need a scapegoat when their team fails to make them happy and to distract them from their shitty lives.
January 7th, 2019 at 11:42 AM ^
I think this year's results show that Dreno, while not the worst, probably wasn't the best either. Our OL seems vastly improved this year and there's hope that next year will be better. And while your coaching is limited to what the guys can do.....if your job is recruiting and you aren't bringing in the best and brightest, that's on you!
January 6th, 2019 at 9:19 PM ^
Whether Enos is here or long gone, it still would be nice to see things opened up. I keep thinking about Patterson’s ability to throw on the run, McCaffrey, a big kid who can do it all, Chris Evans in a wide open field (not 1st & 2nd down up the middle leaving a 3rd & 8 on every series)...
Just Patterson’s remarks the other day give me hope.
January 6th, 2019 at 9:35 PM ^
I think Patterson speaking up is going to ensure the coaches at least attempt something new. Otherwise you risk “losing” the skill position players. And if you don’t have them, you’re screwed
January 6th, 2019 at 9:48 PM ^
I think it’s the other way around. He has assurances that the offense will open up and is letting the fan base (and future recruits?) know about it.
January 6th, 2019 at 10:14 PM ^
Patterson was probably talking out of frustration. I think hes either frustrated with the staff or the fanbase or mayb both. We better see some changes next season or else hell will break loose again. Time will tell if Harbaugh has what it takes. For the health of my liver and everyone elses i really hope he goes all out next season. If anyone says that Harbaugh is protecting a player to avoid injury or doesnt want to give away his playbook as an excuse early in the season they should be banned from this site.
January 6th, 2019 at 11:00 PM ^
of course. anyone who doesn't agree with everything you say should be banned from not only here but from all the internet.
After all, you speak with authority, as you have had extensive prior experience with banning.
January 6th, 2019 at 9:42 PM ^
Alabama and Dan Enos deserve each other. Both shady as hell, my biggest problem is he used Michigan and did it during recruiting. What was he telling recruits? and again he is a Spartan after all and shouldn't have been trusted in the first place
January 6th, 2019 at 9:44 PM ^
Read somewhere that Bill O’Brien may be out at Houston. I’d love to bring him in as coordinator for a couple years.
January 6th, 2019 at 9:48 PM ^
He's repacing Cooter in Detroit.
January 6th, 2019 at 9:57 PM ^
There’s a joke in there somewhere...
January 6th, 2019 at 9:45 PM ^
Ya know I really don't think Dan was ever coming to Michigan, as someone pointed out in an earlier thread a few weeks ago he had something in his contract from Arkansas that made it hard for him to be hired by another SEC school.
January 6th, 2019 at 10:03 PM ^
That is true but that's where he used Michigan to get out of that contract
January 7th, 2019 at 7:31 AM ^
As shady a move as it was, it was also a somewhat brilliant move to evade one clause in one's own contract. I'll give Enos credit for thinking that whole thing through for the sole purpose of advancing Dan Enos' career.
He's still a piece of shit though and Alabama deserves nothing less.
January 6th, 2019 at 10:09 PM ^
I dont think its the coordinators themselves just look at Lame Kiffin. Working at Bama makes you a great coach because you have all the talent in the world and no rules to follow. Dan Enos has very little to do with Tua's success. The real credit goes to Satan...i mean Saban
January 6th, 2019 at 11:24 PM ^
Whether Enos is worth a shit or not one thing I think we can all agree on is that he made the right decision for his career by bolting for Bama and Tua when the opportunity presented itself.
January 6th, 2019 at 11:27 PM ^
January 7th, 2019 at 6:34 AM ^
You left the P out.
And "the Fire Harbaugh he will never win the big game we should have Bama's offense" crowd - they completely forget that Pep was supposed to go find another job and Jimmy had hired Bama's passing coordinator before they stole him so we ended up with Shark boy instead.
I think the UCF fans starting a go fund me to investigate SEC for antitrust violations may actually be on to something - especially the fan funded investigation since neither the NCAA nor the member institutions would bother to investigate anything really meaningful.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:20 AM ^
This is great and all, but we looked at Enos's history as an offensive coach, and his teams' performances dropped or stagnated. He's not someone who has shown he can take an offense over two or three or four years and improve it.
January 7th, 2019 at 12:56 PM ^
Would he have helped? Who knows. Let me just say this. Any one of us on this forum could join the Bama coaching staff next year and look good. Go look at a coach like Don Brown and find out how successful he was with less talent. That is the mark of a good coach. Not have 5 and 4 star talent at every position and still be successful, that is a good coach.
