Since halftime of the Georgia game, when the opponent has gotten to 3rd down, they’ve reached a first down (or TD) either on the 3rd down or 4th down attempt, 24 of 30 times. And 2 of those they failed on, resulted in made field goals. I’ve never seen a defense have a string like that. Especially not a Bama defense. 24 of 30!

That completely burst my bubble on Wommack.

Memphis
Southern Miss
Central Florida
Northern Ilinois
Louisiana Monroe, if you include Saban.

Was the loss to Southern Miss when Favre was there?

That was the worst loss in the last couple of decades 21-0!!! As bad as they where, they still didn’t lose to vandy!!!

Players take on the mindset of their coaches.

I agree, but it's diminishing. Coaches can no longer dictate to the players like they used to. If you make it too hard on the players, they can leave for an easier path or one that pays them more. It's a race to the bottom given the fact that players don't have to commit anymore. Kirby Smart actually called it "the deterioration of football." Players don't have to stay in the fire to be purified anymore.

 

[We All Bleed Crimson]

Bill Curry never lost to Vandy
Dubose never lost to Vandy
Franphony never lost to Vandy, even though he came perilously close in 2001
Mike fucking Shula never lost to Vandy

But this guy has. This was a BAD BAD BAD hire. We should have pushed harder for Kiffin

I'm not ready to say this is a bad hire. But there may have just been an awakening with this example of why the SEC is way different than the PAC-12 or any other conference in America. It's real every week here. You have to keep your team focused and realize the cost of not respecting EVERY opponent. Now the DC.... that may have been a bad hire....no adjustments, no idea of what to do to stop... VANDY! And, who is our S&C coach?

 

[sean]

We still should have pushed for somebody from the Saban tree over this horrible hire. We should have kept it in the family. We need a Saban disciple to come home

I guess they probably should have fired Nick Saban after the loss to ULM in 2007...? We'd probably have had a much better run and even more championships if they had, huh?

I swear! Some of you people can't live with yourselves if there isn't absolute perfection at all times for every single game. Nobody is perfect. Coach Bryant wasn't perfect and Coach Saban wasn't perfect. The both won a lot of games. And they both lost games they should have won.

They had a bad game. How they respond next week will tell us a lot. But let's just remember that this is Coach DeBoer's 1st season in Tuscaloosa and cut the man at least a LITTLE slack. Yes, some things need to change. And I'm sure some things will change. But y'all talking that shit after 1 loss is just laughable.

Oh I know, how about y'all go down there and get them to hire you so they can win ALL the games forever and we never have to worry about anything ever again.

JFC!!!

Ark beat Tenn. Miami may very well lose tonight too. We've talked about this before, but the rules will increase parity. That's what they all want, and that's what they are already getting. There's no reason for players to exhibit excellence week in and week out now that they have their money. They aren't working for a future. Their future is now.

Hard to blame the coaches when the coaches have so little power. Saban's said this on ESPN, but the players have all the power right now. Until guardrails for players are established and enforced, it's hard to hold coaches accountable.

"well that's just how today's game is played"

Completely agree although a lot of people point to CNS saying this. I have never bought into this.

With that said a lot of emotional people and comments in this thread. Fortuanetly I did not see the game or maybe I would be just as upset. I expected growing pains, not losing to Vandy growing pains mind you, but growing pains in year one. Folks were having none of that and continued to drink the kool-aid. It takes time. CKD was still a very good hire and he will get things fixed but it will not happen over night. He and the coaching staff learned a harsh SEC reality tonight.

Forget all of this NIL nonsense and go to work. Each player and coach must be accountable to the work so they can get better. Stop reading the headlines.

I wonder if we can trade DCs with Arky! They got after the Viles all night and acted like they wanted to abuse them. Not fucking sleepwalk! Hell! I played games of flag football more physical than what I saw today!!

He's probably auburn's next coach.

Yeah, this type of stuff is ripe for being made fun of by every other fanbase in America. Congratulations, some of these posts make us look like spoiled brats and immature middle schoolers. I'm not happy, but to start calling DeBoer a bad hire yadda yadda after he just beat the "king of college football" is pretty comical.

 

[24and7]

A lot of the blue blood teams last night got beat (or almost beat) by “sisters of the poor”… teams with not a lot of Big time NILs… and it will happen again…The hunt is on..

 

[24and7]

The blame should fall on D line coaching and the secondary coach… but the secondary is green…we all knew that when the season began…Roach is a great recruiter and a good man, but his D lines underperform… Most of our pressure comes from linebackers and D backs.. When they aren’t successful, it’s “open receiver city”..

Several losses to USM
Including Bear losing to them. At home. At homecoming

Coach Bryant lost to them in 1982.
Coach Stallings lost to them in 1990, that was with Favre. Story of Favre winning that game remains an all-timer. He'd had a major abdominal surgery from the aftereffects of a car accident, willed that team to win.
Coach Dubose got throttled by them in 2000, 21-0 at Legion Field. I was at that game. We were down early due to turnovers, and then the rest of the game was just watching offensive sluggishness.

I was at the Dubose game also. Like watching someone drown in a mud puddle in a parking lot.
