Jeebus, man

 

[Justneedme81]

Nah man all of this ugly.

Good news: changes are coming within staff and players.

 

[Scrape&Search1032]

Good- Nothing.

Bad- This performance.

Ugly- Having to sit through another year of this.

Good- Great- I'm still a Bama FAN!

Bad- Everything I have watch and it because of this! Look in the Ugly

VERY Ugly- I really don't like doing this!
The coaching staff need to go to a coaching clinic!

 

[EasyTider]

Fire EVERYONE

Bad and Ugly... Even Tony Robbin's can't find the good in this... Coach changes need to come... THAT INCLUDES THE S&C STAFF..We faked it as long as we could, but we just didn't belong.. We played like the lowest hanging fruit in the SEC this bowl season..PUMP THE BRAKES ON EXTENSION TALKS!, NEXT YEAR WILL SETTLE THAT...
Got a feeling the portal exodus will begin soon..

We played with fire all season with this gimmicky offense. Caught up to us.


When we play a team that has a really good defense, we stink. Glad we made the playoffs……didn’t think it would happen after the week one mess.

Can’t do the good, bad, ugly stuff this week. Too frustrated with this team.

The ugliest of all is yet again, Alabama just shows a complete lack of preparation, playing with zero intensity under DeBoer. You had every reason to fuel your team and motivate them to prove doubters wrong. Instead it's like Alabama came out going through the motions with zero gameplan. A whole lot of talk about "Alabama is healthy" and "shut up the doubters", yet the same old uninspired team shows up.

I don't know. I think the foundation of success at Alabama is to play to a certain standard. Doesn't seem like DeBoer really holds them accountable to that standard. He is a good coach and has flashes of success. He did make the playoffs; he won a road game in the playoffs after being dowm 17-0; he made it to the SECCG; he beat UGA in Athens. But it just seems he's several lacking in the attention to detail. It's now led to three blowouts in two seasons (24-3 to OU, 28-7 to UGA, and currently down 38-3 to Indiana).

We can celebrate his success while also discussing some issues some under him. I don't think it's far fetched to question whether or not he's a championship level coach.

Lastly, for being an "offensive minded" coach, his offenses are nothing special. Oats was hired and we knew he was an offensive-minded coach. He changed the trajectory of the program because of his scheme. I had hoped DeBoer would show glimpses of elite play on offense but that is far from the case. It's rather mediocre, honestly.

We need to have a serious conversation about Grubb.

Good - the rain stopped, I didn’t spend a lot of money traveling to LA for this game, Mack finally getting some playing time, penalties (which have continued to improve all season), and there won’t be any receipts pulled from the game thread this week. Ryan Williams didn’t drop a pass, 4 catches for 20 yards.

Bad - how much being healthy helped us. Our clean injury report and a loaf of bread wouldn’t even get me a sammich today. Our lack of energy on offense. Our run defense. Our QB pressure after the first couple of drives. Our play calling again. Indiana being faster than us in the run game and taking the edges, outrunning us when they broke free, etc. The false since of hope the Oklahoma win gave a lot of our fan base. That 4th down call when only down 0-3 was terrible and screamed of desperation when we didn’t need that.

Ugly - we were embarrassed, not beaten, embarrassed, three times this year. That is going to take some getting used to. Losing is one thing, getting embarrassed is another. I would imagine today was our worst bowl beat down in the 100+ year history of our program. We lost by 14 to an awful team, 21 point slaughter to Georgia and this total dismantling today. Total dismantling. Our scoring average for the season going down from last year which was down from CNS’ last season, and all with an offensive minded coach. Mendoza just absolutely raping us and making us almost like it. He raped us so bad we were embarrassed to report it to authorities. Their offense against our defense was like a slow moving train wreck. Our offensive line, which had been nothing short of putrid all season. They stink, they stunk, they were abysmal and were not an Alabama o-line. Bama 1-8 on 3rd and 4th down. Ouch!! Indiana 8-11 on 3rd down (at the time of this writing).

Looking back on the season, I’m not sure Grubb was an upgrade, based on results. We were sure happy to get him, but we regressed offensively in the run game and scoring (I’m not sure how we stacked up passing year over year, haven’t looked). Special teams and offense regressed this year.

We’ve lost 8 games the last 2 seasons, but we did make the SECCG and the final 8, somehow. We’re embarrassed in both games though. We shot our wad at Georgia and started declining soon after.

I believe we’ve seen the last of Ty on the field in Crimson. I like him, but he’s not the answer. How we ended up with 2 QB’s with mental hurdles the last 2 years is beyond me.

I’m holding a glass and toasting that we beat UT and Auburn, that makes the season palatable to me.

Damn guys, I can’t remember when we last lost a game by this much. They took our pride, used it to wipe their ass, and then flushed it down the shitter. I’ve gotten accustomed to losing the last 2 seasons and have mentioned that. It doesn’t bother me as much anymore. But losing like this is hard to swallow.

Second this

 

[Secondand26]

Nah man all of this ugly.

Good news: changes are coming within staff and players.

Do you know specifics? Do tell if so. Needs to be OL & DL in my opinion

"This is embarrassing"

-Kirk Herbstreit, after Indiana's dagger score.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Three points yet again under DeBoer...

 

[Kamikazi18627]

I am absolutely embarrassed

This is worst to me than the seccg. We literally got owned by two teams this season. Both teams have excellent defenses


This might be the worst loss we have had as a program in what, 50 years??

Good- 100+ years of Bama football... Being soundly whipped in all phases does not allow you to rah rah your way around the problems. No coach or player gets a pass on this performance.

Bad- how quickly the culture decay has occurred. Physically dominated in multiple games this year by any team that was actually good. If this does not get fixed there is no hope for this staff.

Ugly- The product that is being put on the field masquerading as Bama football. Stop pretending this program hasn't gotten soft. Any criticism they receive has been earned.

 

[Rolltide24]

Florida beat us 48-0 in 1996, I believe.

For a bowl game, Nebraska beat us 38-6 in 1972, according to Google. So this was the biggest loss for Alabama in a bowl game, ever.

 

[Justneedme81]

Do you know specifics? Do tell if so. Needs to be OL & DL in my opinion

No.

 

[Secondand26]

No.

I agree that changes are coming. Just don’t know what or how effective they will be
