I realize now 8-4, 9-3 is normal in SEC

Understand now why Jimbo failed

There will never be CNS .. his circumstances with college football were different

I understand your perspective, and that might be what ultimately happens.

However, I do not agree with the “soft team”.

You don’t go to Atlanta on year 2, beat Georgia in Athens, force the most turnovers of any P-4 school without being a physical football team.

The offense is not given the chance to be physical. The Seahawks went from 28th in the League in rushing to #2 the year after Grubb left.

Imagine if the offense had put together JUST TWO 5-minute drives that ended in scores, and the defense only had to face 8 possessions instead of 12-13…..not to mention the offense not spotting them 9 point.

I would like to see CKD without Grubb before blowing it all up.

Too many good young players, defense does enough to win (especially forcing turnovers and limiting teams to 20 points).

I feel 100% confident that just about ANY P-4 OC could come in here with the talent Bama has on offense and be very successful.

Just give this years team Missouri’s offense and they are 7-0….we have more talent than freaking Mizzou!!!!

People acting like this team is so far off. It's not. We literally lost by a few points to UGA on a controversial play and to Tennessee after the OC did his usual shite the bed he's been doing the last two seasons. This team is an OC away from being a top team.

Grubb is a major issue and is holding this program back like he did Seattle. DeBoer is not perfect, but I still feel he's a good coach with some flaws. The guy has not been coaching at this level for long. As with any profession, there's always room for growth and getting better at your craft. Saban wasn't Saban either early in his career. I'm willing to let him make a change at OC to fix the problem.

Yes, the best way to watch the game (when it’s available) it’s the overhead/all-22 camera shot, and you don’t have to hear the announcers either, so that’s a big plus.

But yes, they only “follow the ball” and you cannot tell what anything else is happening outside of exactly where the ball ends up going.

Bama went straight press-man Cover 0 on 5 snaps defense during the “turnover-fest” by Grubb’s offense to start the game.

They stopped Bishop and forced FG’s
