No more whistling past the graveyard

How the frick do you defend a DC that has given up 84 points in the last 2 games against decent competition? How do you defend an OC that manages to score 6 points in the first half against a team that has been a notoriously slow starting team, usually digging themselves a hole in the first half? And after an open date!! Coordinators that have the best players in college football on either side of the ball? The coaching our players are receiving is criminally negligent.

I’m done with Saban and Alabama football unless and until Saban gets behind a mike and says things aren’t working like they should and we are going to make wholesale changes as soon as the season ends.

If he accepts the piss poor, undisciplined, STUPID play by the defense and the random, disjointed, ineffective play calling on offense then Mr. GOAT is part of the problem and not the solution. This team was supposed to roll through the regular season undefeated, setting up a titanic rematch with UGA in Atlanta and possibly again in the playoffs. Instead, we are 2 plays from being 7-4 and we’re still looking at a beating from the Lane Train that will complete the gang rape of this squad. If Saban can’t see how far this team has fallen, someone needs to tell him it’s time to go watch the ducks shite in his yard on Lake Burton.

One play displays the dysfunctionality of this staff in a nutshell: on the game winning 2 pt play, we come out of the LSU time out with 12 players on the field. We still have our own time out to use. Obviously there is some confusion. Do we burn our time out to discuss things and make sure we’re doing everything possible to win this play? What the frick are we saving it for? This is THE LAST PLAY, win or lose. Take the goddamn time out! Nope, just run one player off the field and hope everyone’s got their assignment. Absolutely ridiculous. And these mother frickers are making millions of dollars to frick things up like this.

I’m a dumbass middle aged armchair QB but there’s no way in hell I go to the locker room not having spent that time out for one more look at things, especially after seeing LSU’s alignment. It might not have made one bit of difference but I’ll be damned if I wouldn’t have used everything at my disposal. I would have used every bullet in the gun before they pried it from my cold, dead hands. That’s on Saban. He’s playing CEO instead of hands on coach. And with Tweedledum and Tweedledumber running the show. How do you excuse that? It’s time some beat writers and maybe some higher ups start asking some very pointed questions that Mr. Ten Million a year won’t like but that he’s earned they be asked.

Saban is owed the respect and admiration of every Alabama fan for what he has done for the program. I certainly recognize that. But you, sir, set the standard, gave us The Process. And you are failing to live up to your own standards. If he recognizes that and attempts to correct it, he should be given every opportunity to do so. But if he does not, he should be reminded of his responsibility and asked to make some tough life choices. It’s that simple. It isn’t fair to him or to the program to allow him to crash and burn before he walks away. So it’s time to make some decisions, coach. What’s it gonna be? The ball is in your court.
