This is the biggest one to me.

Clearly the players see what a shitshow this is about to be. But the fans still expect national championships every year.


People have repeated this enough to try and make it fact. But Alabama didn’t see anymore attrition than anyone else around the country. Alabama had 27 leave. Georgia and LSU both saw over 20 according to ON3’s portal.

Young, yes. But universally considered a good staff. Losing Grubb obviously hurts.

He actually kept most of the off field staff. Hired a bunch too. The support staff is actually larger now.

I’d still like to know how anyone thinks this is true considering how quickly the hire was made.

If we are being honest, DeBoer has achieved as much as Brian Kelly in two years at a power 5 program than Kelly has in 13 years.


He’s achieved more. Kelly has never won a playoff game.

After the transfers out Bama still has twice the number of five star players than LSU. I believe Bama still has the second highest rated roster in the country behind Georgia.

DeBoer took a 4-8 Washington team to 11 wins his first year (and a win over Texas) and the national championship game his second year (and another win over Texas). Neither Washington team had even one five star player.

And last year, While Saban was still at Alabama, 24 players left. And Alabama still won the SEC and made the playoffs. But you can’t argue facts with delusional corndogs.

Pac-12.

1. How was his recruiting?
2. How many games did he win by a TD or less? Easily could have been 7-5 last year

Because you hired a guy with two years of relevant experience to replace Nick Saban

The most experienced coach listed there was Sark. And that wasn’t exactly great until this season. DeBoer is 2-0 versus Sark. And 3-0 versus Lanning.

Okay? Orgeron was 2-0 against Smart. Who’s the better coach?

You’re sitting here talking about lack of “relevant experience”. Lanning has two total years as a head coach. Sark had two failed previous attempts. Norvell had four total at the power 5 level. It’s really all just splitting hairs to make some asinine argument? Had DeBoer had the 0-5 record against Sark and Lanning it sure as shite would be used as some notch against him.

My man BK is always catching strays for running into some actual elite teams like 2018 Clemson and 2020 Alabama.

Meanwhile, guys like Dykes and DeBoer get to play flawed CFP teams and get wins.

Certainly not any LSU fan. They’re too busy reporting Bama news.

That's why we have to rely on Alabama fans to report LSU news.

It's a good arrangement if you think about it.

You clearly don't follow college football very closely! Alabama has the absolute worst fans in college football and it's not even close!

This board was started because of Bama fans relentlessly trolling the Tiger Rant after Saban was hired.

Bama fans are the worst winners, but they make up for it by being by far the sorest losers. You'll see that very soon.
