re: So how does Saban and the staff fix it?

Run rpo with milroe.

Milroe made the wrong decision more often than he didn’t tonight. You want to ask him to make make an instant decision?

The second pick I blame on Rees. It was essentially a 1 man route that Texas was just sitting on. He’s gotta know his quarterback lacks the brains to just throw it away, so you’re begging him to just force the ball there.

Milroe has limited upside. In the right offense and conference, he could put up really good stats. Not going to happen in the SEC.

Changes need to be made on the Oline.

Hit the road recruiting some dudes for the defensive line tomorrow. Then the next day. Then the next day. Scour the JUCOs. Coaching on the defensive line has to get better as well.

Bro...Jalen Milroe stared it down so how the heck that's on Rees?

If he works left to right with his eyes...I guarantee you that would've been a completed pass.

Get 71 off the OL asap. He is a liability. Too many times he has cost us big plays.

56 was far more problematic. He killed two drives by himself.

That's not how it goes.

This mess is the result of several years of apathy and entitlement— ROT — that started when Pete Golding stepped foot on campus. It won’t be fixed overnight. It won’t even be fixed, this season.

The standard fell. It was noticeable. Defense went to shite. It was noticeable. Discipline went to shite. It was noticeable- most penalties ever.

And Saban never once cared. I remember Saban almost having a stroke with the game in hand in the NCG against LSU because we got our first penalty of the night.

That’s gone.

The defense was atrocious for years. We couldn’t tackle. We couldn’t execute as well. Astonishingly, Pete Golding stayed on staff.

Offensive talent covered up the rot. We don’t have that offensive talent, anymore.

Saban allowed his fear of replacing coordinators to turn him soft. 7 years ago, he wouldn’t have put up with half the shite he does now. He’d have thrown headsets and chewed everybody’s arse in sight- including the ball boy.

Tonight, he just stands around and looks lost- reminiscent of Mike Dubose clapping his hands on the sideline every time we made a mistake.

Other coaches who weren’t cutting it were allowed to stay- presumably because of their recruiting ability.

But, it appears that was a flop, as well.

We’ve been noticing it for years. Hell, former players have been commenting on it.

It’s not coming back overnight.

I firmly believe Saban can change it if he wants. I’m just not sure he wants to, anymore. Old Saban is gone.

Saban who tolerates mediocrity and incompetence and entitlement is here.

Pawpaw Saban.

Sad. But, it was damn fun to watch for a long time! For that, I’m grateful.

Thank you! Rees has no personnel decision making power over Saban. Saban was going to give Milroe every chance to win or lose the job. Had this been a conference game I think Saban pulls Milroe.

I was watching the WR’s shaking their heads coming off the field after the second pick. They obviously are frustrated.

Texas was able to pressure Milroe because they believed he wouldn't make the reads and get the WRs the ball. They were right. You don't understand how a pass deficient QB allows a defense to create more pressure.
