2009,2011,2015, 2016,2020, and 2021 we reached the championship with and unproven quarterback.
He won’t be fired next year barring some scandal. We ain’t Auburn.
Ominous Signs Ahead

He won’t be fired next year barring some scandal. We ain’t Auburn.
I strongly doubt that he will ever face an NFL defense...
This was a good team with a horrible quarterback...
This thread reminds me that @selmaborntidefan use to show everyone the threads on the Saban coaching search and the after the hire threads. Some of yall would be shocked at what many were saying.
I’m also reminded that Mal Moore was seriously considering Jim Grobe, Jim Leavitt, and Rich Rodriguez for the job after Saban for a month refused to even talk to him, and even offered it to Rodriguez. It goes to show you how it’s rarely who you actually want and more of who you can get. Saban, Meyer (OSU time), and Harbaugh hires in which you get the big fish you wanted from the start are extremely rare.
So everyone can moan and groan that we didn’t get this guy and should’ve gotten this guy, but realistically who could have we gotten that was better than DeBoer? and would he win 10 plus games and be in the playoffs?
If you ask me now, I would say the best hire of this past year was Elko to aTm because he is competent coach that fits the culture. But I guarantee you we would have a large contingent here already saying “he can’t recruit in the SEC”, “success at Duke means nothing”, “he is too reliant on a quarterback”, and “we hired Duke’s leftovers”. Everyone not named Nick Saban or Urban Meyer would have instantly been doubted and ridiculed until they won a national championship.
DeBoer needs atleast 3 years to prove it, and i think we owe him that. With Milroe gone and a chance to get his players to run his system I think we will probably see more of what to expect from him.
Point is… have faith and have a little patience. If it works out then it will be a great ride, but if it doesn’t then we will try again.

I agree............I am disappointed in how the season went, and it's easy to get ticked and think we made the wrong hire, but he does deserve three years and he should get it
Patience is a virture.................and few of us have it
well, we've got more than enough info on the board about how and why we ended up in a spot where that didn't happen, so I will leave it at that.
Well, I think he's gone, so if it doesnt happen then they can send him a nice card
I just have the worst feeling about this. I feel like he will come back and everyone, including CKD, will just assume he’s the starter. I know all the insiders have said he’s gone, but don’t forget Bama had over an 80% chance to make the playoffs going into conference championship weekend…
We have PTSD. Even when he is gone we will be looking over our shoulders.
hard to do when the QB is telling the D that this is a run play, or making the wrong read and keeping the ball himself in a zone/read scheme.
I mean, you’re not wrong. Even if he announces he’s leaving, I won’t believe it until I see him suit up for another team.
Which will be fixed with a new QB.............we dont need a selfish ball hog
If the dude is as good at manipulating players and coaches as some on this board have implied, he needs to quit playing and become an agent. He would make Jimmy Sexton look like a chump.
He's probably shopping around for the highest bidder right now and seeing who is going to bite. Milrose's draft status has to be tanking.
