I wonder at what point did people start to realize Dubose wasn't the answer? Shula wasn't the answer? Are we at the tide fans point where you aren't allowed to criticize until the guy is fired?
Me idk if Deboer is the answer or not, appearances are so far that he isn't. We'll find out more this coming year.

I’m not sure why this post got downvoted so much. I think it’s pretty clear DeBoer isn’t a good fit for the University of Alabama. His teams are soft and get blown out with absolutely no game plan far too often. I’m not sure why so many people are so quick to defend him. He’s a Shula clone and I’m not sure how anyone can say otherwise.

Probably mostly just hoping he can turn it around I suppose. There is a lot of points to be taken from their argument. There will be a large buyout, repeatedly changing your coach can have disastrous results for your program (though we are kinda there already), and finding a new coach now would be difficult.
Something Ive noticed is that the people critical of Deboer aren't calling other poster names, aren't starting threads calling people names. All that is done by those supporting Deboer. Its almost like the political stance people have taken regarding our President. People act differently according to whom they pull for. Just interesting to see.

So are Lannings teams soft? How about Cignetti’s last year when Notre Dame and Ohio State took them to the woodshed?
No one read powhounds post because it’s just regurgitated stuff he’s posted a million times. We get it, you don’t like him. Move on, he’s here for a while.

The 2000 season was when it all fell apart. Most fans gave DuBose a pass in 1997 and 1998 due to NCAA sanctions starting to take effect. When those sanctions were lifted, he brought in a Top 10 recruiting class and immediately won the SEC in 1999. We were a national championship contender going into the 2000 season. That Southern Miss game, where we were shut out at home, is where I think most of us lost faith in his ability to lead.

He personally lost me when we lost in overtime to Arkansas in 2006. I can't speak for anyone else though.

I hope DeBoer turns out to be a great hire, but the combination of the following is where he lost me:
1. Showed up with no plan and no energy for three games straight to end the year. Yes, it was against good competition and yes, we beat OK but they gifted us points off turnovers and missed field goals their kicker hasn’t missed all year. All three games really looked similar. With so much on the line, that is inexcusable.
2. Ending with a weak portal class in a critical year. We have a lot of seniors leaving and our OL was terrible. What did they do? Focus on Hollywood Smothers and Cam Coleman rather than the trenches. If we had the money for those two, we had money for elite linemen, but it looks like we struck out, likely because we waited too long or had a poor strategy. Our roster does not look like an SEC championship competitor at the moment, at least on paper.

They kind of remind me of the Early 2000s Oakland athletics and the Moneyball phenomenon. That was very interesting and they had some big moments but it’s not like the A’s became some juggernaut through the Moneyball phase. I see this happening with Indiana and they will certainly fall off in the upcoming years. They can’t catch lightning with a bottle with some of the roster adds and coming out of nowhere that they have had the last two years.

I think Shula lost the fan base with the whole Juwan Garth situation

Why the mods allow you to keep trolling this board with the same BS over and over is beyond me. You dont contribute to the board in good faith discussion, you just spam the same post over and over and over

Yes, his teams are soft and I think we should be a better program than Oregon. We are Alabama, with 18 championships and a history of coaches like Wade, Bryant, Thomas and Saban. They have 0 championships and have been trying to buy one for a decade and a half or so. We should be better than Oregon and the excuse of “Oregon got blown out too” isn’t good enough for me at least. I think it’s reasonable to expect our team to show up and be competitive in important games and to win games like Florida State, Vanderbilt and Michigan.

Seaton is going to cost a minimum of 4 million and doesn't run block very well. What linemen on either side of the ball should they have gone after ?

Or they take into account the OP being a shite-stirrer whose posts have little to no substance and just don't waste their time.

Guy couldn't even beat the worst team in the SEC with Jaxson Dart.
If we had hired Kiffin, we'd be coming off a 9-3 regular season and our fans would be bitching "we should have hired Deboer" after his fourth consecutive playoff appearance.

Serious question thst I guess you can’t answer.
You sound like a big time donor, that says the the things you say on here in anonymity because you can’t voice them in public.
Is this true?

I love these posters who bitch and moan about everything in the mean time pony up frick all monetarily and expect that Alabama could hire anyone and everyone they wanted to replace Nick Saban. Those same folks are the ones bitching about not getting all the five stars out of the portal. To all those who bitch pony up mutha fricker and buy who you want for Alabama. If not stfu and let it play out.

Are you suggesting that Alabama couldn't have hired Coach Cig, or Coach Kiffin ?
Either one would have done backflips all the way to TTown.
Byrne wanted someone different... a new direction. We are going in a new direction all right.
You dont think Bama stuffed their coffers for 20 years with Bama riding the longest dynasty in history ?

What are you talking about ? Kiffin built a team that nearly made the title game at Ole Miss. They lost in a competitive game in the 4th quarter with Lane not even there to help with the playcalling.
Meanwhile DeBoer was getting his arse handed to him while being a life champion
