Time? Time for what? It’s a temporary downtick, not a paradigm shift, imo, with some pretty easy changes. Namely, some coaches on staff need to be encouraged to seek other opportunities.Originally posted by CGVT View Post
I’ll give you Bama’s problems in a nutshell:
Offense: (1) Our O-Line has not been coached up. They are getting overwhelmed, manhandled, not controlling the line of scrimmage - which makes QB protection and running lanes way more problematic. (2) A lack of a star, game-changing wide receiver being developed. Great talent in both units. Now, you can blame the position coaches of those units (and I do), but our problems don’t stop there. (3) We have the most predictable, unimaginative, stale, stubborn playcalling in major college ball. Even a casual fan watching the game knows what play Bama is about to run when they see the set we line up in. Those three items combined lead you to the OC. What’s funny is, if you read accounts of other jobs Bill O’Brien has been fired from, you see the same issues I listed above as the reason for his firing.
Defense: (1) Whorehouse Pete Gelding is out of his element. The former Delta State benchwarmer turned assistant is trying hard but this defense’s hallmark is way more passive than the defenses of previous DCs and when you play man coverage but dont get pressure on the opposing QB, you get eaten up. (2) He also inexplicably refuses to cover a running QB - and in the SEC, well that happens. A lot.
So, we need to make some assistant coaching changes Will we? God, I hope so. but Saban is stubbornly loyal to his assistants. The funny thing is Bill O’Brien is a bigger issue than Whorehouse Pete Gelding. Pete is trying. Bill doesn’t give a shit. He’s there to do the bare minimum and cash a check.

Alabama is the most penalized team in the SEC. #14 of 14. Sure, we earned most of them, but the stripes ain’t protecting us.Originally posted by THE_WIZARD_ View Post"The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

And like I said before, our milestones are still too recent to succumb to some overreaction and make a drastic move.
-10 months ago, we played in the CFP championship game.
-11 months ago, we won the SEC.
-22 months ago, we won our last national championship.
But recent history aside, a couple of personnel changes are needed.

You can start by naming Whorehouse Golding Head Ball Coach In Waiting. I mean, did anyone else see the UAT stand to save the game yesterday? Genius.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

I still think that Alabama is the second best team in the SEC and maybe the second best in the country, but...Originally posted by AlabamAlum View Post
How long is The Nick going to last? He is looking old on the sideline and more testy than ever. How big of a down tick will there be when they transition to Dabo?
I think other teams are looking at Alabama right now and are thinking that they are vulnerable.
As I said before: Prize fighter in the twilight. He'll still kick the young guys ass in the end, it is just more difficult to do so.I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it onComment

CGVT,
Yeah, I don’t see it that way at all. Other teams smell blood in the water because of the issues I noted above - not because he’s some “prize fight in his twilight”. lol.
But anytime, and I mean ANYTIME, Bama underperforms national sportswriters (and fans, of course) have laid wreaths on Saban and wrote “THE DYNASTY IS OVER” pieces. It’s happened numerous times over the past 12 years or so.
I saw it in 2010, the loss to Ole Miss in 2015, 2019, and now this year.

I believe Saban is 71 years old, but if we all look that good at 71, we'll be in good shape.
I don't think his age has anything to do with anything. If he needs to shuffle his staff a bit, I'm sure he'll be able to find people who'd love to work with him."in order to lead America you must love America"Comment

Anyway, we’re looking at a 10-2 regular season and a shot a NY6 bowl. Failing that, the Citrus. A good season for the vast majority of teams, but abject failure for Alabama. Hopefully, this failure brings on some change."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

On another note, the worst thing that can happen at Auburn is for them to somehow win out under Cadillac Williams and make them think that they should hire him. They are not a good team but are playing purely on emotion right now.
It may carry them through the season, but that Rah-rah shit will get old real fast when they start losing games.I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it onComment
