Should Freddie Roach be on the hot seat? Not so fast Alabama fans

Peter Woods’ decision to commit to Clemson over Alabama Friday provoked a lot of reactions from Alabama fans, and one constant reaction was a call to fire the Crimson Tide’s defensive line coach Freddie Roach.

Roach is one of Alabama’s primary recruiters for Woods, but major brakes need to be put on a movement to fire him. The former Alabama linebacker has an impressive track record of landing some of the state’s top talent during his tenure with the Tide. He is also on pace to help Alabama secure a strong in-state 2023 class despite him not being able to lead the Tide to a verbal commitment from Woods.
