Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe could’ve had a completely different future with the Crimson Tide if he’d taken former Bama offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Bill O’Brien’s advice.
While talking ahead of Monday’s Rose Bowl, Milore recounted how he felt when O’Brien told him he should switch positions from quarterback to somewhere else on the field.
Obviously, O’Brien was very wrong to suggest Milroe play anywhere else but quarterback considering how well he has grown into being Alabama’s starter. Of course, Milroe shook off O’Brien’s incorrect suggestion and acclimated to his starting duties just fine.
“So who gets the last laugh?” Milroe quipped about O’Brien’s suggestion.
Clearly, O’Brien was wrong in his assessment, as Milroe has turned into one of college football’s most electric talents at quarterback.
It’s great that Milroe didn’t take O’Brien too seriously. Otherwise, we might’ve missed out on one of the better Alabama quarterbacks in some time.
