Lane is a douche. I think most ppl, probably even including Tide fans, would agree. He also is a very good O-coord, however, it's ironic that if Les Miles had been calling plays for the Tide yesterday, they probably would have won, b/c I think a steady dose of Derrick Henry would have ultimately worn down Old Ms.

Seems to me that the offense does just fine putting up points. Now the defense and special teams are another story. Bama's defense is a sieve, gives up waaaay too many big plays, especially through the air. It's pretty shocking to see a Bama defense get pushed around like rag dolls, game after game. Ever since JFF ran them in the dirt, Bama's defense has been exposed. OSU punked them in front of millions where they offered little resistance. Last night was much of the same. Just throw the ball up and Bama DBs can't find the ball.

I can't stand Kiffen but blaming the offense seems nearsighted.

Muschump? Now that guy can destroy an offense and defense. Both sides of the ball turn into a cluster when he's on the staff. LOSER.

Oh he isn't? We have up 43 points to Auburn last year and set school records on Offense. He made a running back second team all SEC. He produced one of the greatest seasons ever for a conference WR.




There is the stat guy! I knew it wouldn't take long. You know what stats are for?

Kiffin deserves credit for '14 because he tailored an offense to accomodate a previously terrible QB.

But Sims is gone. None of the other QBs seem to fit that offense. How this wasn't obvious all offseason when no one won the job is beyond me.

This is not just on Kiffin. It's an overall coaching staff problem. This team started to decline in 2013 after Pruitt and Stoutland and several other top coaches left. Their replacements haven't been nearly as good.

They have other coaching issues besides Kiffen.

I feel like he gets too cutesy with the offense. You have a beast RB who does best straight up the gut. Kiffen never lets him get into a groove to wear the defense down.

This is what I'm getting at... Kiffin isn't playing to the strength of his roster. You have Coker, who is what he is, and a true freshman QB, throwing to all new receivers... yet you have a powerful OL with Derrick Henry, and you throw the ball 58 times in a game???

Terrible job of taking 4 and 5 star QBs and turning them into bumbling idiots. Whoever is in charge of QBs is doing a terrible job.

If we just run the ball 50 times last night Ole Miss stacks the box and our shitty RG gets abused. We have to have a threat of a vertical passing game. The problem is, we don't have that. Even though we try. Like I said, some times the play calling is frustrating but so it goes. No OC calls perfect plays 100% of the time.

Y'all keep drinking that cool aid. He's good in spurts. Hasn't ever been a long term answer.

They didn't have one for most of 2009 yet they still managed to win a national championship.

They are almost as adamant as the vol fans were in their defense of him. Almost.

I feel like other fanbases are over reacting more than we are...is this what happened last year? I can't remember.

I like it when Saban yells at him through the headsets so people don't think he's yelling at him. lol

Teams aren't going to adjust to us?


They can try, but it doesn't matter when your OL is knocking the DL on its arse on every snap. You know, kinda like they were early in the OSU game before Kiffin inexplicably abandoned the run game that was working.

In college football, you don't try to adjust before the DC adjusts. You force them to prove their adjustment will work and go from there.
