Deboer. I'll bet he's having second thoughts.

Just this weekend, I have heard him called a coward for not benching the starting QB because he fears the locker room. I've also heard him called a fraud who built his reputation on the shoulders of Grubb. And, I heard calls for Saban go down in the locker room at half time and "chew those guys out" for their performance.

Now to me, that is all just dripping of disrespect.

Who is ever going to be loyal to this fan base, which is incapable of being loyal to anyone else

I don’t know about the second thoughts part, but to have folks mad at him two games into the season (both of which, he’s won) is a bit ridiculous.

I’m amazed (but really shouldn’t be) at the number of rival fans who troll Alabama boards and social media accounts. Rent free.

I’m sure CKD has some thick skin and I know we have lunatic fans but those types are in the minority. Most of us, while less than happy with the offense have faith in the man. I know I do.

Definitely a minority, and I’m thankful for that. CKD is a fantastic coach in his first year. He’s going to surprise people this year AND next year.

Saban got shite on after EVERY loss and most games that we didn't cover the point spread.
Coaches have to be immune to fans' bitching or they'll never survive

Anyone blaming that shitshow yesterday on Deboer clearly didn't watch last year's USF game because it was objectively worse.

With that being said, the guy is making $10 million a year. I'm sure he gives no fricks about what a handful of people say about him on a message board. Besides, I've heard Washington and Auburn fans say far worse shite about him than any Alabama fan. All the criticism I've read was directed at Milroe or the line.

Or that he would care even if he did hear about it. He’s not some 30 year old 1st time HC. He’s definitely more put together and secure than OP gives him credit for

I highly doubt DeBoer is listening to anything that fans say, especially things said on a message board.

It's going to take this fanbase a looooooong time to sober up from the 2009-2020 high.

10s of millions of dollars are a good counter to mean words

Second thoughts on making $10,000,000 a yr? Having one of the best facilities in the country? Having all the resources that a coach needs to win championships?

I wouldn’t really worry about some ppl’s opinion when it comes to Bama football.

We still haven’t seen the starters on this OL play a game together yet. I guess I’m in the small group that has the patience to let this coach and his staff and this team gel together and two games isn’t enough time for that in a new system that’s replaced a 17yr old system.

And if they lose a game that’s fine too. Sooner or later it’s going to happen and there’s no sense in acting like a crybaby bitch when it happens.

Wow dude, I saw you in the game thread also but this is too much. You’re free to post what you want, obviously, I’m sitting here responding.

But gatekeeping criticism on an anonymous message board is no way to spend your life.

Is Deboer going to be compared to Saban by the uneducated sidewalk masses? Of course he he is, that comes with the territory. Saban didn’t start out all nice and shiny btw though 2007 was beyond frustrating given the collapse

Criticisms are valid based on how they played last night. OL sucked, Jalen hung on the to the ball too long, couldn’t run it until late in the 4th, etc. all of those criticisms are valid and would be levied if Saban were still the coach.

That said, Deboer is an offensive genius. He will figure out how best to use Jalen’s limitations, that’s my hope least.

If he doesn’t, well, we’ve got backup options. All is not lost.

I have faith that Deboer will be a good coach, but that doesn’t mean he’s above criticism. And he damn sure doesn’t need you gate keeping in an anonymous message board.
