You don’t think I had questions.
1. Why the hell did Riley get the reps he did over miller?
2. The back and forth on the 4th down call and the list goes on.
If you want to eat yourselves and end up like auburn let’s bail on a quality coach.

I didn’t say to fire him.

But in no way shape or form should we lose by 35 to anyone. We have better athletes. They have better coaches and a system.

I was aware we might lose. Never in a million year did I think we could lose by 35. That is a failure in a soul searching way

How charitable. I assume he’s doing it for free. And why treat this fanbase like it’s a special case? Do you think most fans expected no drop off after Saban? Hell, if anything the team’s performance was dropping off at the end of his tenure.

Drop off was inevitable. This is different, this is talent masking crazy coaching deficiencies that are only going to become more apparent without very fundamental changes. This is something that most fanbases of major programs would struggle with as a trend regardless of starting point. shite, OSU fans wanted Day gone after the Michigan game last year.

And I’m not even a fire DeBoer guy. I think he’s earned the right to make changes to his approach and see what happens. But change is definitely needed.

Not disagreeing. This mob mentality of keyboard warriors that know more than the guys whose careers depend on this team being successful isn’t helping anything.

I agree that they’re not helping, but people sharing mercurial outlandish takes on message boards is nothing new. Just have to illustrate why they’re wrong.

Haha. So if we stop bitching does that mean we won’t get bent over in future Rose Bowls?

98% of college football didn’t have the opportunity to get bent over in the rose bowl. It can easily get back to those days.
We don’t accept what happened today but we don’t burn the house down and make it an undesirable place.

It's not going back to those days its already here. This is what shite coaching looks like. Because of this loss and similar losses the committee will no longer give Bama the benefit of doubt.

If not for the simple fact that society thinks every losing team needs a chance at a trophy Bama would be one of those 98%. Not our name, not our players play, and most importantly not our coaches lack of coaching ability would have gotten us there otherwise.

All I know is CKD better fire Grubb and the S/C coach at the very least. If not then we will slip into mediocrity. Kids will start not wanting to come here and then the program will implode. In fact all the offensive coaching staff probably needs to go because they 100% don’t know shite about any standard. The team quit today because our coaching staff did not prepare them to play.

Going for it was fine. The play call was not.


Going for it on 4th and one, at that point in the game, is mind numbing stupidity when your running game is pure dogshit. You can't even line up and run the ball for one measly yard when you have to have it.
