When he jumped into the portal after last season, that should have been it. I know the players voted him back to the team. I know they tried mending the relationship. But at the end of the day, there was always going to be subconscious thoughts from other players that he bailed on them for a little while. And this is your "quarterback" on the court.
Hopefully, this will be a lesson for the coaching staff to evaluate a player's wants at the end of the season from here on out.
this ordeal is not on Coach Marlin. Say what you want, but Marlin is a no BS kinda coach. He sat Fulks, and Fulks caused problems and pouted. On to the next player mentality. No player is bigger than the program and marlin just doesnt tolerate it so players move on.
How Alabama moved from Nick Saban to Kalen DeBoer in 49 hours
Once back in Tuscaloosa, as Saban began meeting with players, it became even more apparent to him that his message wasn't resonating like it once did.
"I thought we could have a hell of a team next year, and then maybe 70 or 80 percent of the players you talk to, all they want to know is two things: What assurances do I have that I'm going to play because they're thinking about transferring, and how much are you going to pay me?" Saban recounted. "Our program here was always built on how much value can we create for your future and your personal development, academic success in graduating and developing an NFL career on the field.
"So I'm saying to myself, 'Maybe this doesn't work anymore, that the goals and aspirations are just different and that it's all about how much money can I make as a college player?' I'm not saying that's bad. I'm not saying it's wrong, I'm just saying that's never been what we were all about, and it's not why we had success through the years."
