wtf does this even matter to anyone? I have never spent more than a few seconds looking at any previous season’s team photo. And I’ve sure as hell never taken the time to critique some photos of another team.

Except it looks just like Saban's team photos I'm seeing.

Auburn's picture looks like 5 losing seasons in a row to me.

I saw the team picture last week and thought nothing about it being sloppy. Some people will find anything to cry about.

Any chance the photographer is to blame?

Two things can be true:

- This doesn’t matter and is kind of a silly issue

- It does sort of jive with what some people say the culture is like in the football building under DeBoer. Whether that is a good, bad, or neutral thing is up to you.

Social media told you to be concerned and worried about it and thus you are. Stop letting social media program you. This is a dumb thing to be worried about because someone on social media said something about your team designed to elicit a response from you.

Lot of discussion about DeBoer following Saban and rightfully so. The only coach that followed a great coach and did as well or better that I can remember is Osborne following Devaney at Nebraska. It took him three or four years to get his bearings. Does anyone else come to mind? Following a great coach is tough. There is a long list that attests to this in both college and pro sports. The best chance for success is at a traditional team at the sport that is down.

The main reason following a great coach is tough is the "Lot of discussion" part of it.

That’s why I say we were lucky as hell to get Deboer. People will disagree bc “Bama can get anybody” but it’s the truth . He just needs our support

This is a non-issue but DeBoer has earned the skepticism and these types of discussions. The lack of attention to detail is obvious, from not being prepared for the weather for the Michigan game, to the team bus being late for the FSU game, to flat out not being ready for Vanderbilt, Oklahoma, Georgia and Indiana. It’s a pattern.

Deboer has literally won two less regular seasons than Kirby Smart since he's been with us.

nOt BeInG rEaDy!!1 Deboer has a winning record against Georgia and in the one loss, he was without 13 players that beat Georgia in Athens two months prior.

Should Oregon fire Dan Lanning for not being ready for Indiana? What about the time he barely escaped a Wisconsin team Deboer had his way with?

Should Georgia fire Smart for "not being ready" for Notre Dame? What about the time the refs singlehandedly gifted Kirby a win over a trash Georgia Tech team at home that was throttled by that same Vandy team? Should Smart have been fired for a narrow one point win over the worst team in the SEC?

Tell me, who's your top pick guaranteed to come in here and go 16-0 every season since 20 wins in 2 years is an abject failure with remnants of a roster that Saban even struggled to put dog shite teams away with...

Two of my favorite teams is the '76 Raiders and '93 Phillies. Both of those teams had gritty players that looked like a version of the bad news bears. But they'd kick your arse on the field...........I really don't care what we 'look' like. I just want execution of fundamentals. If we win the national title this year, people will look at the team photo with pride. Its all perspective.
