That's a direct quote from Terrion Arnold regarding how the fans trashed the team after the USF game.
No wonder Saban had a softer approach. Everyone was against these guys, trashed their talent and wanted Saban to join the masses of onslaught.
Instead Saban defended and coddled them, receiving insults from the fanbase along the way with accusations he has gone senile and soft. Once he got them to turn the corner he reignited "chewing arse" to spur them forward knowing he had their entire trust.
What actually happened was a masterstroke because the kids rallied around Saban and now play as if they are trying to defend his honor and not just their own.

“The USF situation as far as just seeing how people treated us after that in this fanbase and with our fans, the model I’ve been preaching to the guys – ‘We all we got, we all we need.’ And that’s something that we’re continuing to see with the growth. I feel like we haven’t played our best football yet,” Arnold said.

A general rule of coaching. You can push a winner a lot harder than you can push a loser. If you push them too hard when they lose, they lose confidence. You push them harder when they win because they already have confidence.

People were ready to cast off this team after Texas, and predicted 9-3 or even 8-4 following the USF game
It’s possible to acknowledge there’s areas that are struggling without abandoning hope entirely. Amazing to me that there’s still people out there thinking Milroe isn’t the answer, and I guarantee you if we lose to UGA, there’s a few “Bama fans” that will practically be celebrating “they were right” and Simpson should’ve been the guy all along

I think the fanbase as a whole is pleased with this team now as long as they beat Auburn.
If we lose to Georgia I think it’s a great season considering how we looked the first 4-5 weeks.

I don't think anyone will argue this after this weekend. My man still made one of the worst rookie mistakes in CFB
I think Jalen is playing well, but I'm going to be skeptical until we play UGA. How will he respond to the best defense he has seen this season? If he rises to the occasion, I'm not worried about any team we see in the CFB Playoffs. If he regresses, then he shows that he still needs further development. The most important thing that I personally want to see is sustained consistency. Consistency to not back down / regress against high level competition. Hopefully he shows that

It's no secret the team started to get better once Jalen settled in.
Tommy Rees should get a ton of credit for the way he approached Jalen and told him to identify the things he was uncomfortable running and subsequently tossed that shite in the dumpster.
Seeing a young coach and a young player figure stuff out together like that makes me smile.

Couldn't agree more. This is where I think BoB failed miserably. He had no offensive creativity, and simply hurled the entire offense on Bryce's shoulders. BoB with Milroe would have been a disaster of Milroe standing in the pocket trying to go through 4-5 reads per play, and getting sacked constantly. Rees has done a phenomenal job of breaking the game down for Jalen, giving him 2-3 quick reads in the same area of the field, and then allowing him to use his athleticism. You can tell Milroe is more comfortable in the pocket, because he STEPS UP in the pocket. He doesn't loop around the outside of the pocket and run out of bounds for a 10 yard loss anymore. Hopefully he keeps progressing and Rees can keep adding more creative ways to help him succeed.

I was watching that Washington Utah game with my cousin when that LBer dropped the ball like 3 yards before the endzone, and I said to him something along the lines of "think about how Saban would react if a Bama player did that." Welp

Rees is an intense dude. You can tell his brain is always trying to process, assess, and address.

So the fans are the reason this team is doing so good? Sweet!
Also this team was a mess at the beginning of the season. Who could blame anyone for what was thought or said.

Nick Saban is the reason.

No the team was a work in progress with talent at QB which hadn't been developed by the previous OC.
The new OC (which I was highly critical of) came in, developed the players and took instruction to change the playbook to match the talent and maximize what they can do. The talent responded well to the coaching.
Saban is Saban inspire of the fans

This was sarcasm
The other was the truth. The team was a mess. Idk if I've seen a Nick Saban coached team that big of a mess. The offensive line had no idea what they were doing. Which was my biggest concern. I thought Milroe would come around he just needed more experience.
It's ok to say things were a mess. In the end the coaches got things figured out and on the right track. Which is what they are paid to do.

I wouldn't say they were a mess. Defense wasn't a mess. WRs and RBs weren't a mess. Milroe struggled as expected, but I wouldn't even consider his play up to that point "a mess." The oline had some gaping holes, so I reckon you could call that a mess.

I don't remember anyone ripping the defense. The offense was abysmal. Fans are going to fan. Fans will continue to fan until sports aren't a thing anymore. Just the way she goes.
After the Texas game Nick said they deserved to get shite on by fans and the media. It was a bad performance.
However the team needs to get motivated then I'm all for it...I just think OP wants to trot by on his high horse because he continued to pump sunshine after seeing Simpson and Buchner play nauseating football. Hey good for you.
Fans are emotionally invested. That's why I recommend staying away from the internet while watching the game if you're easily flustered. You're only going to regret what you say.

My father was this way. We was watching Bama play Penn State in 89. PSU was lined up on the 18 to kick the game winning kick.
He kept telling me, “Bama is gonna block this kick son!” Bama blocked it and he punched me on top of my right leg with his left fist and it wasn’t a tap, it was a hard arse punch!
He jumped up and said, “ I told you they was gonna block it!” I looked up said, I wished they would have made it!” My father was 6’7” 260lbs and strong as a bull. Gave me one those purple and yellow bruises that lasted for a wk.

Alabama played like shite with 2 shite QBs and the fans are to blame from the fallout? No.

How will he respond to the best defense he has seen this season?

Losing to Texas and then almost losing to USF shouldn't have instilled confidence in anyone.

Thanks for sharing. That's a great fandom perspective of both the vested adult and semi-interested child. We can all relate, and at some point we all became our fathers.
