Yea....maybe you are right....I mean the man is only 35-5 as the OC and has won a National Championship.....not to mention Saban kinda likes the guy. I will agree with the idea of getting conservative towards the end and making the necessary adjustments to counter the oppositions halftime adjustments. Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.

Yeah. We might get Gary Crowton. :lance:

Chris Peterson? That the name you are looking for?

Argo, if you don't want me to come in here and state the obvious, ask me to leave.

You know I'm right, and it kills you.

From everything I've seen you post you're rarely ever right. He's not asking you to leave he's simply pointing you in a direction of other forums so you can go there if you don't like it here...and so that we don't have to see you whine continuously.
 
:confused: We stopped being as aggressive in the second half like we were in the first. We lost that intensity at halftime and it came back to bite us. But,we dont need to be as predictable as we were in the three losses or we would be in Atlanta right now.
 
I don't blame McElwain for the drops but I think he had alot to do with ditching the slants to Julio. The corners were begging to have hitches and curls thrown on them with their soft coverage. They stunk so bad that the only adjustment they made was to cheat a safety over toward Julio, but the slants and short game were still there! Greg should've thrown for 500+ and Julio would've had about 300+ of that. The tightest coverage on Julio came when he climbed in bed afterwards!!!!

I agree the play calling on offense has been quite poor this year, at times just plain awful. However, the head coach is on the head set and can veto or say run the ball, etc. The head coach is involved in the offensive game plan leading up to the game as well. Firing McIlwain may not solve the problem. At times the defensive play calling has been quite bad too. I'd say keep the staff in tact if you can. If you want to make replacements, look at the offensive and defensive line responsibilities.

The bottom line is the team is not physical. They're not tough physically or mentally. They're not in good condition either. They're not hungry. They're not motivated. That all falls on Saban.

My guess is Saban has figured this out and will fix the problems going in to next season. I feel they will likely go undefeated or have 1 loss next season. At least they should with all of the talent they have coming back next year. Their defense should be the best or near the top. They will have a tough schedule again.

Also agree, as psychojoe does. Also, next year there will be some changes to the offense, changes that many think will be for the better, such as a new (possibly more raw talented) QB which I actually think is a good thing, and the line will be more experienced and improved from this year, and the defense is bound to be better. And the schedule, contrary to what dabaxter says, is going to be easier next year... no doubt. They will surely have a tough schedule just b/c its another SEC schedule, but it wont be as tough as this year-- biggest games at home (dont tell me Penn State is away like that should be difficult) and the Barn loses their one player. A lot of people had high expectations this year, I think expectations should be equal if not higher for next year.

No one is asking you to do anything. I'm also stating the obvious. You, along with everyone else, are free to express their opinions as long as it doesn't break any of RTB's rules. If you don't like how everyone responds to you when you post your opinion, there are plenty other websites who would embrace your willingness to chastise a coaching staff who have lost 5 games in 3 seasons. I'm not asking you to leave, but at the same time, no one is asking for you to stay.

That reflects on the head coach because clearly the team was not in good condition for the second half of the Auburn and SC games, not to mention the half time adjustments were lacking.
It happened in the NC game last year against Texas. It's his responsibility to figure it out and not let it happen again.
