🏈 DeBoer's future at Alabama and the most likely path ahead (from my perspective)...

[alabamajack]

Statistically speaking, the odds that we would share the second coming of Bryant or Saban were quite low. As great as Bama had been under Saban, no team in any sport has maintained dominance forever. That being said, yes I do think that IF we can snag another defensive coordinator in the office season, that would be my first step

As far as the buyout goes, ain't happening for another couple of years. It's just too expensive, especially with NIL being in play

Well that was exactly what many on here we saying and expecting as soon as year one. Still puzzled how people bought into that illogical thinking.

Ya know, a lot of our best players are dudes CKD brought from Washington. Just an observation.

 

[64Tide]

Players don't matter if you don't have good coaching. A wise coach once said he could "take his'n and beat your'n, and then he could turn around and take your'n and beat his'n".

That was Bum Phillips saying that about Coach Bryant and he was 100% right.

No one said he was the second coming of either.

Selective memory? Not going back to find all the posts but pretty sure you were leading the charge @TerryP. Just like know I was taping the brakes.

Oh. This I know.

Did I say I expected him to win championships? Yes. You won't find me making comparisons of coaches to coaches nor players to players. I don't do that.

 

[ElephantStomp]

Reactions being idiotic is the same as calling someone idiotic. As I said, we could have lost a lot more, no doubt. We didn't lose any production. So how long does a culture change take? How was that not one of the first things you instill in your team after relationships?

Took Saban two years when he got to Bama, so two years

I still believe he’ll win at least one

Sounds fair to me.

In CKDs 2nd year got drilled by FSU, CNS 2nd year lost in SEC Championship game to a team that went on to win the NC. Not sure your point unless you are saying CND won a NC in his 3rd year. At this point I am just looking for CKD to play much better especially on the road.

That's what I'm hoping for to. And if the same problems persist throughout this season, I'm hoping Jedd fisch gets that Florida job and leaves that Washington job open....

And in Saban’s first year he lost to ULM. Saban also didn’t have to work through losing over 30 players.

True! But Saban had at least 30 LOSING players on that team! lol
Different times, but the fan mentality is Saban had a pass & Deboer doesn’t .

 

[Scrape&Search1032]

I'm pissed off about our situation right now, but making up stupid fucking rumors is just ridiculous.

Happens after every loss. And many fans buy into the ridiculous "rumors" because it is nice copiem and it easily allows them to place blame.

How cares if they were "at a club or not".. after that performance everyone needed a drink...
but a bar in that town is a good way to end up in icu.. if you are from an opposing team..

People are looking for something that explains the debacle that was FSU and the last 10+ games. An easy target is CKDs more laid back approach and culture as it contrast significantly from Bear and CNS, two of the most successful coaches at Bama and history of college football.

End all be all for me is the product put on the field, I don't really care how their temperament is as long as they get our guys ready each week, and have them play at a high level in every game. Does the attitude thing correlate? Maybe, Im not entirely sure.... but all I want is for my team to perform well where it matters the most.

That's what people should be looking at and criticizing, not making up dumbass rumors.

Agree with one exception, I want my team to perform all the time regarless of the situation. Of course that includes when it matters most but doing it in one game then stinking it up the next is not going to get it done.
