I still think we got the right guy (Coach DeBoer)

[westide]

I think lot of reactions are overkill when it comes to CKD and Wommack. I have faith in CKD getting this team back on same page and we will see that Saturday.

Just curious who do you think is responsible for the defensive fiasco we have witnessed the last six quarters?

 

[westide]

He did.

So did Wallace Wade and Frank Thomas.

Get over it.

Kudos for using bbcode there but I think I can safely say most here are tired of your whining.

So did Bear in 1969.

 

[Bamabuzzard]

YOU DON'T COACH FOR ALABAMA AND LOSE TO VANDERBILT! PERIOD!

Bryant did...

Regardless, the whining and catastrophic commentary has gone beyond overkill. We all get your point. We're doomed and alabama football is over as we know it. I hear pickleball is the latest fun sport. Go try it out. Bama football is over so why bother watching?

Maybe with the DL being asked to be more active instead of just eating up blocks it will be a little easier to recruit the position.

Everything starts on the line....that will never change in football. Get in the backfield and the DBs don't have to cover long. Get in the backfield and the offense is all discombobulated.

Those Chip Kelly Oregon teams that were so potent offensively always had issues with penetrating DL because it blew up everything.

I believe we lost recruits who didn't want to be used as block eaters. I know we had some who could eat blocks, shed them and make tackles, but supposedly, the new scheme is more DL friendly for making plays. We'll see in time, I guess, if this impacts recruiting more dynamic DL.

1969's coach did. Remember him?

I know this: I have newfound respect for Shane Beamer in how he handled Bangally Kamara redshirt situation:

Basically:

Kamara: “Coach I’m going to redshirt..”

SB: “Not how we do it around here. We’ll discuss what is best for you and the team. This is 2024 and we are still trying to win THIS YEAR. I’m not thinking about 2025.”

Kamara: “I still want to redshirt”.

SB: “Clear out your stuff and get gone”.

Coaches. Coaches are responsible for getting plays to the players on time. Players are responsible for executing the plays properly. Both statements are true.

 

[CrimsonNagus]

IMO, they just didn't look prepared in the Vandy game so I lay almost all blame at the coaches feet.

 

[mlh]

Hey, did everyone hear?

We lost to Vandy!

Ryan Williams is only 17 years old!

We can't kickoff against USCe soon enough.

Ultimately it falls at the coaches feet. I think this new staff took Vandy lightly and got roasted. It happens, it just doesn't need to happen again. It's being reported CKD's demeanor has changed this week and rightfully so. I just think the staff go too caught up in "we're coaching at Alabama" and under prepped. I'm guessing a lot of late night oil was burned this week on USCe's offense.

This is the first I am hearing of this. You would think there would be a post on here about losing to Vandy. This Ryan Williams being 17 has to be a rumor or something. If only we were still on CBS, we could rely on Gary mentioning it.

I heard Ryan is going to the Jets as the youngest head coach/player in history.....he's gonna take Duron Carter with him as his OC.

This is not the same Vanderbilt that we are used to seeing. Bear lost to them and tied them twice,

Coach Bryant lost to a much worse Vandy team in his 12th year at Alabama.

This was a bad loss but a few of you are going overboard and that is an understatement.

From a betting line standpoint, Saban’s loss to ULM was worse, I.e., a greater upset.

Iirc, DJ Hall was suspended but when Saban saw that Alabama was in trouble he reneged and put him in the game. It was an awful look, big mistake and didn’t work. Many thought Saban’s culture and authority were wrecked.

Yeah, we should have fired Saban right then and there. 🤣

I agree that CDK has the resume to deserve a chance to make his mark on Bama ball. We just need patience. I also agree that there are serious problems with our defense. I believe I read that we allowed over 160 points over the last six quarters. That screams major problems. Yes, Nick Saban struggled in his first season, but he came on board with a weak roster. He turned things around in short order. We lost some great athletes to the portal when Saban retired, but the team still had an abundance of quality on board. My point is that comparing Sabans first season with CDK's first year is like comparing a Ford Pinto to a Mercedes. So, the athletes on this roster should easily beat a team like Vandy. This loss is not a fault of the players. Place the blame where it belongs. COACHING, PERIOD.

 

[Crimson Speed]

For me, Deboer and Womack are hanging on by their fingernails.

Just hold on. It is way too early for that. Give Deboer a chance to right the ship.

I had some negative things to say after the game ended Saturday. Maybe some were knee jerk reactions, but some were well founded. My Eeyore comments were directed at the defense and the obvious lack of preparation and adjustments by the defensive staff. I agree with Buzz, I still think we made the right hire with CKD, but a transition year can go either way. One final comment, the NCAA implemented scholarship reductions three times since the late 1970's to level the playing field. None of those reductions achieved the desired result. The NIL and transfer portal accomplished that over the past several years and will continue to do so unless some restrictions are imposed.

I agree. Something needs changing to place some limitations on the NIL and transfer portal.
