Shula was like 2-14 against Ark, LSU, UT and Auburn. And in many of those he was in position to win going into the 4th quarter. He earned the right to be fired.

I call BS on "true Alabama fans" already wanting Saban gone. This is something Auburn fans make up in their minds because some of you are idiots. Some fans will vent on talk shows no matter what a coach does, but I assure you 99.9% of Bama fans are perfectly happy with Saban.

My post was about the Auburn situation it has nothing to do with Alabama per se except for what will happen if you lose to them this year.

You will know how it feels to be the hunted this year instead of the hunter. Didn't go so well the last time out and lose a couple this year and the shine will be off the Gus Bus.

Auburn got their heads handed to them in the fourth quarter of the UGA game and should have lost. No disputing that was luck.

I am sure. Alabama has the only reasonable fan base in college football and if he stumbles this year even despite having to replace a lot of key players, all "true Alabama fans" will give him a pass.
All it is going to take is a series of loses, especially if it's early season, for the fans to start saying he's lost it.
But please, continue with your delusion that only Alabama has completely reasonable fans from top to bottom.

Situation 2: Malzahn creates an unstoppable monster, is considered to be a coaching genius and receives numerous offers from other programs that may seem more desirable to him. He leaves. I am not that obsessed that if he left i would cry about it. I would still be a little upset.


Where would he go that would be more desirable to him ? It would have to be inside the SEC, because going to another league would be a step down.



If things were to not work out for their present coaches there could be openings at USC, Texas, tOSU, Michigan, and Notre Dame over the next three years.

I like guys who stay at the schools where they can win big FWIW - Gus with Auburn makes the SEC a lot more interesting

Why would those be more desirable ? 1. Money- AU can match any amount those other schools offer 2. Facilities- AU can match any of those schools facilities. 3. Recruiting Base- There are more DI Athletes within 250 miles of AU than any of Those Schools. 4. Fan Support- you tell me.

Auburn had 60% of the fans in the Rose Bowl for the BCSNCG. How many did ND take to Miami two years ago ?



ND had the majority of fans in Miami. The fanbase is basically the Catholic population of the United States.

Throwing up your hands after just one year seems a sign of desperation. First trying to get the rules changed and now reshaping your entire S&C Program. And the bammers kept saying that the HUNH hasn't gotten under Nicks Skin.

Or it could be a sign that Saban is doing what all great coaches do and is changing with the times.

When Bryant went a combined 12-10-1 in 1969 & 70 he didn't throw up his hands and say, "shite...that's it. I'm done."

He changed tactics and won more than he had ever won before.

My point is Saban did not go a combined 12-10-1 the last two years. It shows that Saban has faced the reality of the HUNH more than any of the bammer fans.

I tend to agree. saban blamed the fanbase for the debacle that was Utah, in the Sugar Bowl, and the fans agreed that that loss was their faults. If one speaks out, saban will tell the rest what to think every single time.

Here you go skippy:

Devall said losing weight was a primary goal this offseason as linebackers need to be quicker on their feet to play in space against fast teams.

And you came up with your post about Alabama changing their entire S&C program from that statement?
Let this soak in, Scooter.

Dumbass, anyone who follows football knows that this is a major change in Bama's program. Devall even points it out to you, but for some reason you can not accept his words. Bama's Defense has been built on size and power under Saban, their LBs try to mirror NFL Size LBs. Now they are trying to loss weight, instead of gaining it in the off season.

Take a look at these photos from Spring practice, and see if you see a change in the teams physical size. Who is delusional now:
