Mike, Mike, Mike, & Kalen?

[uafan4life]

That's six games out of 14 that Alabama hasn't been prepared to play.

Why should I believe Kalen isn't another Mike for Alabama?

Seriously, please convince me...

Kalen definitely has some 'splainin' to do...

He is a mistake. A very costly mistake

Shula and Dubose at least won 10 games…

All that crap about the team being fully bought in and being hungry, and “the disrespect will be dealt with accordingly” and how we had the best OL in the country…a bunch of hot air. I’m so done.

5 stars everywhere and poor performance.

Talk is cheap. Always has been.

He could very well be our first coach not to. In an era of 12 regular season games and a 12 team playoff.

Yup..When you try creating your own hype, without earning it on the field, it neverrrr ends well..

Dude is not a bad coach. He just followed a legend. We are everyone's biggest game of the year. Kalen just has never dealt with anything like that. Gonna be a long season of more ups and downs. I think it is us just now realizing what we had which is now gone.

He appears to me to be a mix of both. His demeanor is almost a carbon copy of Shula. Very little emotion. His game plans look a lot like those of the DuBose era. Organization is lacking. Effort looks a lot like the DuBose era too - mixed at best. (Those Shula teams almost always exhibited effort; they were just outmanned).

 

[81usaf92]

Too early to tell. But the ultimate questions are 1) who could we realistically replace him with that is better and 2) who is going to change the situations off the field that affect Alabama

The 2005 team is one of my favorite non-title teams but injuries caught up in the end

The defenses played with more effort in the Shula era for sure

I can’t answer either question except to say that someone out there is an answer to #1. Not sure who. But still, someone out there can build a program and rally a team to believe in and execute a plan on a week to week consistent basis.

The answer to #2 is probably no one. That “genie” is never going back into the bottle.

NO MORE MUSIC AND ICE CREAM. 😡

We hear this every year for the past 3 years at least. I’m wondering when they gonna show up

 

[guntertidefan]

At least he hasn't said "we are really close". If he says that I think I'll lose my mind.

 

[Cruloc]

DuBose won an SEC title for crying out loud.

He took things as tremendous opportunities, but also very challenging.

DeBoerBose ain't winning an SEC title. His personality just doesn't fit Bama. There's no fire and passion.

Next year, definitely
