Curry never lost to the Viles either.....

Or beat AU

I understand your pessimism. Your 'argument' is flawed.

I am really not pessimistic. I am very realistic
about this and as a person.

When Bear retired. We all saw an old man ( 68?... dang). Looked like time for a change
I was excited about Perkins

I didn't see nick as old man at 71/72. I was shocked. Kinda over it now. Sorta anyway

I think we have a very good HC.
Argument not flawed. He has inherited excellent talent 2/3 years down line see how he n Bama fit.

We all know bama fans are tough. Have to see his toughness

Saban was a great fit at Alabama...partly because of his coaching style and relentlessness, but also because he really didn't give a rats ass about what other people thought of him and what he was doing. He could/would push back against the fans/boosters when needed.

We will see how Coach DeBoer does in the coming years. I don't think the challenge will be with recruiting kids and/or coaches, but how well he can handle the fans/boosters.

From his original press conference. It's there.

@94 Grad he conducts practices more like Bryant than Saban.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

But bama hasnt lost a game to a LSU/AU/TN yet either

Saban lost to both LSU and UT in the last little bit.

I don't think the style of how he runs his practices will matter much in todays football... these kids come into college pretty well developed and worked. Where it will be important is what coaches he can hire to develop these kids further and to recruit. I think he'll do just fine those two areas.. if not, it'll show up on the field and in the W/L columns.

Thats my point. But to some....it will be first ever to lose to them ....
Our fanbase is tough...

1. Please stop calling him Coach D. it sounds like a porn movie actor.
2. CKB isn't in tough spot. He has all resources he needs at Alabama and he will be fine.
3. Stop comparing this era to the past era.

you might want to go back and look at the context of what you're saying. DOJ did tried to get both. Russian would not give up on marine.

This.

I mean look at what the mad hatter was able to do when he took over when Saban left. I’m sure we’re in better shape with CKD than the tigers were with Miles.

This is what I expect. Miles was a moron and kept the train moving for 10 years. CKD is a really good coach and once the adjustment to his system kicks in will do well. All of this is relative to the Bama standard.

I agree. Coach D has great credentials ......maybe a rough spot here or there but...
I really believe...with crimson glasses...we will be fine..
I am all in with change. My Season tickets are paid. I am making my plans for fall fun with the Tide...

 

[It Takes Eleven]

CKB isn't in tough spot.

Have you ever flown into it?

Have you ever flown into it?

Why would I flow into Coach D?
