re: ***Official Fire Doug Nussmeier Thread***

I think I am in on this as well...and here is why.

One bad play on offense and this team seemed to get stuck. A drop on 1st down or a poor run on 1st down, especially in the red zone, and the play calling seemed random, usually one that wouldn't work against the second down defense. When things went well, they were good. Whenever there was a stumble, the offense came to a halt.

Then there are the receivers. I watch other teams and when the play breaks down, you see receivers breaking to daylight. Alabama receivers become spectators when AJ was flushed out of the pocket. Is this not coached at Alabama? (The exception was Norwood when the was in the game.)

As bad as I hate to admit it, there wasn't a lot of talent on the defense this year. Worst D line in a very long time, and I thought some of these guys would become real studs. D backs, corners and safeties, was the worst in a very long time. HAHA had his moments, so did Landon, but as a unit the DBs were not very good. I for one will be glad to see Belue go. He was never a lock-down corner. But some of the blame goes to zero push up front.

So much to bitch about, so little time. Maybe by the fall our coaches with find a way to slow down the HUNH. If not, then 14 will not be a good year.

***Official Fire Doug Nussmeier Thread*** Funny this thread didn't pop up after last years Bowl game. But to play along - Kiffin or Mike Bloomgren (Stanford offensive coordinator, real young bright guy who is a Bama alum btw)

Kristen Saban could've called plays against that ND team with AJ, Eddie Lacy, and our OL....none of whom were recruited or developed by Nuss.

Who took Henry out when he was on fire. Was that Nuss? Who had playcalling that had nothing to do with how the defense was lining up? Was that Nuss? Who has our receivers run the most predictable routes that are easily covered? Is that Nuss?

If not, please let me know who I should blame. TIA

Nuss needs to go.

So, if Nuss doesn't go, then I guess that means you think Saban should go, right?

do not want kiffen. even if he came in and did a great job, he would leave the next year because despite all evidence to the contrary he thinks he should be a head coach. so he would be gone again as soon as he could. also, hes pretty likely to get you on probation

We didn't "take what the defense gives us.

That basically sums it all up. Our philosophy used to be "Take what the defense gives you and they'll eventually give you the game." That is now a distant memory.

IN.....Bieotches..

Someone please tell me for a fact Saban is not involved in the play calling or did not take over. Easy to point the finger when you do not know. I am saying Nuss is great or not but Saban wears that headset and knows everything that is going on.

No matter how the play calling on either side of the ball goes the blame is on the HC, especially for last night. Our whole staff got out couched by a team that came to play and a staff that prepared by watching tape and knew where our weaknesses were.
