Haha, you're definetely right. Thats what happens every time.
Is he going to fire himself?
I don't want to find anyone. That's why we are in the situation we are in. We took a gamble on a coach that had zero college HC experience and it has failed. We need a proven winner to take control of this program, not another question mark.
Shula made JPW fumble the ball, right? He jumped in the huddle and was like, "ok son, I want you to drop back and get blind-sided and fumble the ball on the sack twice in a row, got it?" I mean, that couldnt be a young QB making a mistake, right? Give me a freaking break. Shula had nothing to do with that. Those two attempts at going for two? They were quite odd decisions. However, they didnt effect the outcome of the game. If we made both of them, it would have been 19-22 and a field goal at the end could have at least tied the game instead of forcing us to go for it on 4th and a mile at the end of the 4th qtr. If we had just taken extra points and been 17-22, we would have been forced to go for it and had the same failed result on 4th and a mile at the end of the 4th qtr.
It wasn't a young QB making a mistake. It was a JR RT getting abused. Again. Which is the coach's responsibility to correct. We only saw a juggling of the OL during the 12th game of the year and after the poor performance of the line had guaranteed a loss. That is on the coach, not JPW.
I hate to break it to you, but Capps isn't the best lineman. He just simply isnt that talented. You cant coach talent. Capps is doing the best he can with what abilities god gave him. Hes our oldest member on the oline, yet one of the worst. You are failing to see how this dooms us. Its not like the oline was a stone wall after Capps left the game. The problem began long ago when Fran only recruited 2 linemen while he was there...and one followed him to aTm. This is why our line is so young. Loss of scholarships also played a hand in this. Most of the backups for our starting oline are either red shirt freshmen or are nonexistent.
Did Shula "make" JPW fumble the ball? Is that your defense for what we have witnessed on the offensive side of the ball for two years?
If this is true, this is one of the few posts I've read lately that actually has more logic to it than the primal chant "firah Shuya".
Jeremy, the decisions to go for two most certainly affected the outcome of the game. Had we kicked the extra point in both situations, we could've kicked the FG on 4th and 15 with 6 minutes left and then would've only needed another FG to win it.
There were two additional turnovers, 4 dropped passes, a number of missed tackles, a couple of blown coverages and a partridge in a pear tree that cost Bama the game....
Man I couldn't agree more. For the first time in my adult life i turned a Bama game off early. As my wife and I watched the game, I started trying to guess what kind of play we'd run based on the formation and was probably 70-75% accurate. I honestly believe that our 2nd half offensive problems are due to us reverting back to a "set" of plays that CMS likes. Seems like we get more and more predictable as the game goes on. Anyways, the current state of Alabama football is just sad.
