Debeor is not going to have the success of CNS. Heck CNS going forward was not going to have that kind of success. Fans need to understand this and not freak when things are tougher. CNS's last couple of years have been that as well. Excellence is still demanded and expected but what CNS did is not realistic. With that said I would love to eat those words...
| FTBL Will we get behind the New Coach?
- Thread starter rick4bama
- Start date
Oh I understand all you said. I went through the down years too. But I believe DeBoer can be good in his own right. And having Saban around for advice won’t be a bad thing.

I'm gonna get pissed off enough here and kick someone's ass if we ever have a RollTideBama tailgate if people don't quit saying "I hope Saban doesn't get in the way". Do any of you making this comment honestly believe Saban is going to correct every move and be there for every decision DeBoer makes? He has simply offered himself if there is help needed. The run we never wanted to end, and now you wanna kick him out of the program. One of the smartest minds in college football ever and you think he'll get in the way of the new coach in town? Don't insult his intelligence or his charity to keep things together for a transition that shocked the world. Without Trump a presidential race doesn't get this much worldwide attention. Grow up and feel lucky you have the guy still willing assist to keep this thing rolling in the right direction and honoring his commitment to the players when giving them assurances. Roll Tide, Coach.
Amen! Preach!

I can appreciate any cynicism for the likelyhood that boosters/staff/fans/ExCoaches will try to be meddling in the program. But I think that is one of the reasons CNS is still going to have an office in Tuscaloosa (which I think will be more of metaphore than actual use).
One of the first things CNS did right by coming to 'Bama was convey that HE is the football coach & anyone else caught meddling will face his wrath! I FULLY expect CNS to help enforce that buffer so that Deboer can be a coach. I wonder how much different 'Bama would have been if Perkins had The Bear there to kick boosters in the ass for overstepping their reach.
I can see CNS being a HUGE asset to Deboer in recruiting with introductions... Look, this rarely, if EVER happens. A former successfull coach, with boots on the ground helping the new coach in recruiting==> Thats INSANE & to have the best ever recruit be that guide. Hell, Les Miles didn't have that & he still did great in recruiting. DeBoer would have to be the biggest dumbass of all to not exploit CNS guidance in recruiting at every turn!
No matter what happens, we are turning the corner into an unprecedented sitaution in football. I think we have HC that knows football, loves the game, loves the developement of the players, & is an eager competitor. Who also happens to have the best to mentor him & make inroads for him. What more can I say besides ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

We agree. In a perfect world, its a home run. In reality, there is a lot of ways it can go sideways. I am assuming both were on the same page before the hiring.

I agree. And those 2 members joined the board 5 days apart. They like each other’s posts, all kinds of similarities. At first I thought they were TerryP’s alter ego

I have a little "easter egg" on the forums where, at a glance, you can see whether the members have an "alter" or switches usernames. You can see it on my posts...considering I work on the RTB.com and the Twitter bot accounts as well.At first I thought they were TerryP’s alter ego
I can't remember the subject...I do remember @JoshB accusing a member of being me one day. It's been a few years...
This is how it starts back at Alabama.
Saban is the one that came in and cleared them out. So he's now going to bring them back? Makes sense.
He's starting it.

Saban, having an office in BDS, is what brings back large booster influences?
It can also be argued you are a member of the segment of the fan base that brought the Tide DuBose.

@Nothing_But_A_Winner00 @24and7 and @SnakeDoc agreeing to be negative about Bama football? Who would've thought this day would come.
Like he's done with his dealerships?
It always starts small and innocuous.
Apples and oranges.
