Bama beats UGA
Anyone willing to take it?
I see the cowards are willing to downvote but not put their money where their big mouth is

I’ll take the bet. Dubose, oops I mean DeBoer, can’t get his teams up to play Vandy or Oklahoma on the road. What makes you think they’ll be ready for UGA in Athens?

I’ll take it. They beat Georgia I’ll stay off this board for the rest of the season whether it’s their only win or they win the whole damn thing.

I saw nothing good against FSU and really not much reason to be optimistic...but the season isnt over. I remember the Washington teams Deboer had...they werent playing soft football. Something is up. I want to see how the team responds before I start firing everyone

100% agree. I’d love to be wrong. I’m not but I’d be trilled to come on here just to accept my fate as banned for the rest of the season.

PAC12 football wasn’t the same. DeBoer could get the team pumped up 3 times a year. In the SEC(and south period) you have to treat every game the same. That’s why most west coast coaches with no southern ties fail in the SEC.

Someone already took it but you can if you want to
Im not trying to stir things up, just trying to show that the season isnt over. If team plays soft all year...ill be on the fire the coach bandwagon too(and ill talk about it next season on here)

They beat the Texas team that kicked our arse

Did you read my post? We also beat UGA last year. DeBoer isn’t bad at X’s and O’s. He is terrible at consistency and getting a team up every week. If Oklahoma and Vandy didn’t show you this last year your head is in the clouds.

Thank you! There are a few coaches around the country I keep up with and KDB has been one of them. He is not Saban ( nobody is) but we have some entitled players on this team. It IS his responsibility to fix it though

I think my my main criticism(of the criticism) is this idea that CKD is actually teaching players to be soft. Thats ridiculous
You dont rack up the wins against Lanning, Kirby, Sark, etc by playing soft football.
I think the team is playing with immense pressure. They were expecting 2-10 FSU and they got a team ready for a knife fight to the death. Once they got down, you could just see them pucker up.
There was poor effort though by some. No doubt about it. Ryan Williams needs to do some self evaluation and decide if he wants to be a tiktok f@g or a football player. I wish everyone had played with the intenisity that Simpson, Bernard, and Brailsford played with(ironically two of the "soft" Pac 12 transfers)
Also there is clearly a huge schematic hole in this Defense. The teams that play straight up pro style offense...Bama has done fine with. The misdirection with QB runs causes this defense to play tight, slow and timid. Its why im confident about the Georgia game and LSU game. Bama will win both

Tricky right now because UGA could very well suck this year. People forget they were embarrassed by Georgia Tech and would have lost that game if not for officiating.
On the other hand, Stockton is a runner and it's a road game which seems to be a deadly combo for us now, no matter how bad the opposing team is...

Literally every Pac-12 coach that comes to mind has had success in the SEC.
Kiffin didn’t exactly fail in his lone season at Tennessee considering the dumpster fire he inherited.
Sark was mediocre at Washington but he's not failing at Texas. And just because he spent two seasons in the SEC as an assistant doesn't mean that if DeBoer had been stashed as an OC here for two seasons, he'd magically be producing different results today.
Meyer didn't fail at Florida.
Leach? His only real SEC tie was a brief stint in the 90s at Kentucky, then he was gone for over two decades before coming back. The league had completely changed by then yet he still had success by State's standards at least.
And not SEC but Harbaugh had a 29-21 record at Standford yet dominated at Michigan.
And let's not forget the mighty SEC isn't the NFL-lite juggernaut it pretends to be. This decade, the conference is 26-24 in bowl games. That’s barely over .500. Time to stop treating geography like it's some hidden cheat code for football success.

Did you read where I said no southern ties? Kiffin had them. Sark didn’t succeed until after gaining SEC experience under Saban. Meyer wasn’t a west coast born coach. He’s from Ohio and he was an assistant at Ohio st and Notre Dame before becoming a HC.

1. Harbaugh wasn’t a west coast coach.
2. He didn’t dominate at Michigan. He was literally on the hot seat when he cheated to win a title.

Kiffin's first collegiate job in any capacity east of the Mississippi was Tennessee...

So you're saying that if Deboer had spent two years at Alabama as the OC, he'd be lighting teams up today? This is his second year in the SEC so next year Deboer should turn the corner, right? Maybe we should have hired Pruitt to be the HC since SEC experience is the only key to success down here...

I didn't realize Ohio and Indiana were in the south...
