We have this conversation everytime they lose. They won it all in 2020. If not for injuries to their starting 2 first round pick receivers, they repeat last year. Heck , the only reason they lost Saturday was their qb has a bum shoulder. They have the #1 recruiting class right now. I see absolutely no signs of him slowing up. None
There defense is the reason they have 2 loses.

I've always felt Saban would announce that he was in his final year, sort of the way Coach K did. It give the program a chance to salvage the recruiting class and name a successor. Having said that, Nick looks tired and uninspired.

Saban has never fired a coordinator that I am aware of. The time to start is RIGHT NOW. Both coordinators are horrible, especially O'Brien. If Bama had Kirby as DC and Kiffin as OC we would not have lost a game for over 2 years, PERIOD. I have no idea why Saban decided to go for the two point conversion twice this past Saturday but if he had kicked just one of those extra points instead Bama would have won 25-24 in regulation. Stupid decision that is on no one other than Saban.
As for playing defense, our secondary play very carelessly and recklessly. They are horrible in man coverage and have to resort to PI to keep from giving up big yards but still give up the 15 yard penalties, i.e. big yards. Saban used to be very hands-on with those guys. Not sure if that is still the case or not but it certainly doesn't seem like he does as much for the last few years. Also the entire team doesn't seem to have very much intensity. Saban needs to also fire his intinsity coach and hire someone that can get the job done...
Yeah, some other dumb assed coach did that earlier this season, can't remember which one...

1) Bama hasn't even played Auburn yet (and it sure as hell ain't gonna go to the wire when they do)
2) I noticed you used "us" when referring to Bama playing Ole Miss this week. Was that a slip? I know your screen name is Bammer, but I thought you were at least pretending to be a Gator fan on here.

Feels like a ban. A reference to his potentially being drunk. But then a definite ban.

The biggest issue they have right now, IMO, is they have not found the right DC since Kirby left. If he figures that out, they will be the best team in the country again. Their defense really is not up to the Bama standard.
He's got Fat Slob Todd as an analyst.

For my political buddies on here, he needs to go pluck some coaches from Kansas!! They just creamed Okie St....

In all seriousness, sports talk radio here in Jax was trying to figure out what the issue is...one guy said their OL play has been abysmal last couple years...so I took the liberty of looking up their OL coach....Doug fn Marrone....no wonder

Heads will roll this off-season. Obrien will be encouraged to take the miami OC job. Golding will head to rehab. Maybe replace Marrone. He's not afraid to send guys packing.
