Former Alabama Player Gerald “Smoke” Dixon Comments on Tennessee.

[I Love Lamp]

Nico didn’t get us 10 wins.
Sampson and the defense did.

This is the reality that people who have no idea what they are talking about, like Gerald, fail to realize. Nico wasn’t the superstar he was/is made out to be. Dylan Sampson was the superstar that got zero love.

 

[RockyTop140]

To compare where we’re at now vs where we were under Pruitt is criminal. Wishful thinking on his end at best

 

[volunator]

Consider the source...

 

[OldVolMan]

Skkuurree him.

 

[Rocky Top T]

I mean, he is being dramatic but he isn't wrong. we aren't getting to 10 wins without Nico. it was hard to believe WITH Nico.

We wasn't getting 10 wins with Nico.

exactly...

Nico = over-hyped, under-performed

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Did he make a suggestion on who we should have got or why he didn’t offer up at least 2.5 million to keep Nico and hope he was going to be better?

Operative word, "hope".

 

[OH-Vol]

We aren't getting 9 or even 8 Wins... Roster Management this offseason has been horrendous.. Losing 20-30 guys to graduation/transfer and replacing them with 3 & 4 star high school recruits is crazy in today's world of 1 season commitments. I have lost confidence in the Heupel/White combination and am concerned on the strategy moving forward.

 

[barrylee]

I mean, he’s probably right about 10 wins! It’s not easy to get to 10 in the SEC..

Nico didn’t get us 10 wins in the first place… it was the defense and Sampson…

Bammer, lol

This guy is a poster boy gump.

This is just too funny not to share. Former Alabama player (who was on the team when they went 3-8) Gerald “Smoke” Dixon, now CBS analyst, compares us losing Nico to the state the football program was in with Jeremy Pruitt. Surely he can’t be this dumb and is just trying to stir the pot because he’s salty about going 1-3 against Tennessee in his pathetic career.

He is obviously very out of touch and clueless as to what a crap show this team and roster was with Alabama’s Jeremy Pruitt.

Who?!?

 

[livefaith]

So he wants to be an ANALyst I see. Bet he can't even name our 3 QBs. But we should trust his ANALysis.

 

[VolBallGuy]

There is the appearance that the program is struggling. And let's be real, we ain't sniffing 10 wins. I'd take bowl eligibility and call it a season right now.

Why?
