Ummmmm.....sometimes it not execution....when dbacks are 30 yards back and ur offense just gave other team time plus their TOs to get in fg range....stupid pf penalties...etc

Execution is 17-15 penalties... grabbing facemask...dropping passes...etc

Defending the coordinators...scares me

He’s always done that (not throwing them under the bus)
Kinda like when Bryant would say he did a “poor job getting them prepared “ - you knew there was going to be hell to pay.

We all know there are problems on both sides of the ball, those issues have not improved as the season has gone forward and we, as fans are spoiled with winning.

Difference between defending and not throwing under bus...
Usually says...."everything and everybody will be evaluated after season.."
Thats not throwing under bus

Including our DC and his DUI....

We know...we see...
He knows....he sees...

Just confuses me...

I guess we shall see what we shall see...

Head coach decides who is coaching and who is playing. Saban taking the blame is the same as any manager taking the blame for the performance of those below them. Many don't so it, but the good ones do.

 

[bamafan9201]

He defends them in public, because nobody would work for him as an OC or DC if he was throwing them under the bus for their mistakes. He always wants them to find jobs so he doesn't have to fire them. Just cause what he says in public is one thing, doesn't mean in private he's not tearing them both a new asshole.

This is Saban's version of coach speak.

PG? He definitely gone now.

 

[rick4bama]

He is the head coach! He does have the veto power. He getting paid the big BUCKS!

I have seen him tearing into coordinators on sideline...but not to PG ...and BOB lives up stairs ....

If he has to come out and defend them, then there's a problem.

"Obviously, when you're teaching and regardless of what you're teaching and how you're teaching it, if the pupils don't get it, I put it on me. So, we've just got to find a better way to emphasize it."

"I'm not blaming anybody else in the organization," said Saban, whose teams have won six national championships and played for three others since 2009. "It's my responsibility. I know what plays they call; I'm involved in how they prepare for the week. I watch practice film with them. But I think people look for somebody to hate when things don't go right."

CNS usually speaks plainly on this issues. This is just another example. He understands, that at the end of the day, it ALL comes down to him. I have never doubted for a second that he might see it any other way. And he understands there is no advantage of voicing his issues with staff publicly. That's leadership 101.

I don't think its just coach speak. I think he has a full grasp on the reality of the situation & is trying to do everything can to get this team ready for Ole Miss in the best way possible.

 

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

We are what we are at this point. I look for this team to play pretty much like we have all year. Really, why wouldn't they?

 

[Crimson&WhiteGecko]

@JoseyWalesTheOutlaw I do think they should show some signs of improving because at this point, if you don't, CNS sure as hell isn't going to give a ringing endorsement to NFL Scouts & the remaining players are going to get sifted from the wheat & the shaft.

I think it will be crystal clear who is going to want to build for the future compared to those who don't.

 

[ElephantStomp]

It is on Saban, he’s the head man, the decision maker, and why he gets paid a hell of a lot of money.

We all believe both coordinators need to be gone after the season and Saban obviously knows he’s making changes after the season, this is just coach speak

 

[mando]

Saban is a focus on the next game person. Always has been. He needs the players and the coaches to focus on preparing for the next opponent. He will deal with the other when the time is right. He knows this team and coaching staff needs that or they will be cashing in the rest of the season.
