Former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback A.J. McCarron warned fans about the state of the football program amid a rollercoaster 2024 season.
A.J. McCarron warned Alabama Crimson Tide fans about the state of college football and how it will impact the program amid a roller-coaster season. Alabama fell to No. 15 in the latest AP Top 25 poll following a seven-point loss to Tennessee last week. The team will take on No. 21 Missouri this weekend.
McCarron, who won a national championship at Alabama under Nick Saban, said on the 'McCready & Siskey' podcast that things were not the same at the school and explained name, image and likeness had a lot to do with it. 'Everybody’s worried about f---ing TikTok and having a reel and being on highlights for their personal self and personal gain, and how much money they can get from NIL. We just didn’t have that s--- back then. It was a team sport.
Winning attracts people to that program, it attracts scouts, it attracts GMs, it attracts ownership to allow yourself that opportunity to go make yourself a lot of money and change your family tree for a long period of time. You can just tell. It’s not the same. I would think Bama fans should get used to that in a way of, hey, it’s not gonna be what you knew from 2008 up until last year, where there was just a certain standard. That’s not a knock on the coaching staff or a knock on anybody.
With the SEC as strong as it is, Alabama’s schedule will not be any easier after Missouri. The team will hit the road on Nov. 9 for a matchup against LSU. The team will have Mercer mixed in before playing Oklahoma and Auburn. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
