We’re not magically going to be okay because we’re Bama. We no longer impose our will on teams, we’re undisciplined, and our offensive and defensive schemes have been exposed and exploited. We’re a pretty average team at this point and nobody fears us. In fact, they smell the blood in the water. Major changes have to be made in the off-season to turn this around.
So what you are saying is that you do not feel that Saban, who is arguable the goat and has achieved this status in what many consider one the most competitive and dynamic eras of college football, can right the ship.
No one thought he would last this long but he has and he accomplished this by showning his willingness to pioneer, adapt and change. He also has continued to dominate in recruiting, arguably the life blood of any program. Just go look at the last 10 years of recruiting rankings and we have been #1 every year with the exception of finishing #2 twice and # 5 once, depending on the service you go by and we are currently ranked the #1class for 2023.
Coach Saban has overcome the highest assistant coaching oc dc turnover of any top program and has won multiple championships while doing so. I think he knows what needs to be done and am confident he will do it or at least I am willing to give him an opportunity before calling for him to retire or that the sky is falling. There are numerous issues on both sides of the ball, but they are all addressable and fixable which is why I say we are going to be okay.
Also, for the record and to delve a little deeper, I never said that we would magically be okay, but I also do not think it is the end of the world. If you have read any of my other posts I have non stop said that we need a new oc, dc and the sc program, on field energy, may need a look since cochran left, and for longer than most. I also said that the jawjaw tenner game would give a good insight as to how the game we had with them should have gone defensively had we had an elite dc because kirby, who runs the same type of d, will have a great game plan and they will stop tenner and adjust when necessary. Mind you jawjaw lost 8 defensive guys to the nfl last year and IMO defensively from a talent standpoint they are not better than our guys. I will take my chances with Coach Saban.
We are spoiled rotten as a fan base and it shows.
