DeBoar's Washington teams had close games that could have gone either way. Sound familiar?

Outside of a couple of easy non-conference games, I had no idea his teams those two years played sooooo many close games. He could have easily have had multiple losses each year - and they gave up a ton of points.

Very similar to Alabama this year. It could have been much worse this year.

Is this what Bama should get used to?

The PAC was known for cannibalization. Even Stanford and Oregon’s peak teams routinely went 11-2

Greg Byrne is the guy chasing the latest greatest trend. He probably owned zubaz pants and had a Mohawk at one point. Should have gone to Kiffin and we wouldn’t be in this mess.

The buggest mistake Byrne made was looking at only statistics and not considering fit and personality. Kalen Deboer could not be a more terrible fit and personality for Alabama football.

You mean the same Kiffin that shite the bed against winless Kentucky with Jaxson Dart? He's another clown notorious for losing games he shouldn't.

I still rememer Kiffin neglecting the tight end position and not running the ball at times.
