After 13 games we're 9-4. Let's revisit our thoughts and outlook on Coach Kalen DeBoer

[uafan4life]

Yes, CKD is the head coach and is SUPPOSED to be in charge of player personnel decisions. College football doesn’t work that way anymore. Jalen Milroe never should have started a game for Bama after the 2022 season, but NIL has completely taken all the power away from the coaches.

If that is indeed the case, I think my question of renewing my season tickets has been answered...

I can’t speak for you, but I would not support this crap any further until something changes. And I don’t necessarily mean specifically at Bama. College football is an absolute disgrace right now.

 

[theballguy]

No, CKD should not be fired.

Milroe should have his starting duties stripped....but that should have happened last year.

This loss is on Milroe and the coaches for not benching him.

How do you fix this? You start another search. Sorry guys, but it's one thing or the other. If you're ok with DeBoer continuing on, then I respect that but if you really think he's the problem then why keep him around? Sorry but leaning towards holding people accountable while advocating something else doesn't make sense.

KDB is not the answer, he proved it tonight IMO. Move on, clean out the LANK cancer and rebuild from the ground up. i dont know if i could stomach watching milroe play another down at Bama.

CKD is between a rock and a hard place. I cannot stress how bad our locker room is right now because of NIL. There’s some bad apples that we have must get rid of.

CKD’s lesson to be learned is that every game every week is intense in the SEC.

 

[Bamabuzzard]

DeBoers on the clock after tonight. We showed up unprepared and no answers for a bad Sooners team. He gets a mulligan earlier in the season for it but not a second. No need to fire the head coach after one season but his year two just got more important for his future with the program. Tonight was embarrassing and inexcusable. Pathetic is another word that comes to mind.

 

[Bama Lee]

Very perplexing how this how unfolded. This was a a really bad game plan in all phases. it was very obvious that some players were giving listless effort and yet they stayed in the game. And we were still running a 3 man front deep into 3rd quarter. Whatever the skill level of this staff, if they are unable to bench players or change strategy/ scheme, then the University of Alabama will not be in the playoffs while they are there. It is really simple

I’m not writing off KDB but this was absolutely a failure of a first season, it’s not like he inherited a broke down 98 BMW like Saban did, he inherited a 2020 G-Wagon.

Driving that G-Wagon right off a cliff.

I think someone needs to do a forensic audit on the LANK books

Pretty much where I am. As much as I’ve loved it all my life, it’s not the same game anymore.

Not looking forward to telling my future kids about the LANK era

Performance was purchased; performance was realized.

Unfortunately, quality of performance was not part of the contract...

Yes. College football is not the same with all the unregulated NIL and Portal. Even attending home games is not as much fun. Electronic tickets and non-acceptance of cash for a $14:99 cheese burger and $6 bottle of water. What a joke. Music blaring the entire time. I left at halftime last game I attended. They changed the rules and ran off the GOAT. There will be no more great teams. The lawyers and overpaid college administrators ruined the last great sport.

Lank needs to be strangled and left to wither on the vine

 

[spidermayin]

If you asked me if I would trade the Vandy and Oklahoma losses with losses to both LSU and Georgia, I would decline. Those 2 really bad losses kind of cancel out the really good wins. KDB deserves a chance to recruit his guys the same way Saban did.

CKD named a starting QB before ever seeing the team practice. Perhaps if there had been a competition for the job...? Guess we'll never know. We've also not prepared a backup at all this year. I just don't get it. CKD should get another year but it looks like it's just a formality until he's gone.

If we even have an offensive system I can't see it. Jalen left, Jalen right, Jalen up the middle, Jalen throw an interception, and that's pretty much it. If I was an opposing DC I'd focus on stopping Jalen.

I'm predicting we'll see our first opt-out this week, not counting Oatis and Koht.

Something is seriously amiss when this many blue-chip players can't seem to play a lick. How can we possibly have zero running backs that can effectively run the ball.

 

[BamaNation]

Milroe's "business decision" to not tackle and instead try to trip the defender after his interception should have been enough to put him on the bench the rest of the game / season. He had the angle and the speed to make a tackle and ... didn't.

Jalen last night: 15 rushes, 7 yards. Ima put that in the "It ain't working" category
