Why does it feel like the 2023 season has already crashed?

Perhaps

I don't get people freaking out over Rees at all. Like, at all. At worst he's good but inconsistent and way too cute. At best he's what all the football people who know him say he is and is really good.

The Steele thing isn't fun. The silver lining is that he's shown that when he has good players he can put good defenses on the field. The other silver lining is all the shite we complained about (bad communication, out of position, playing scared, insane whackjob formations and blitzes) is gone. It's replaced with simple shite, which has its own issues, but different.

So, I dunno. Nothing about this is guaranteed good, and I'd be lying if I said this is "what I expected" (though having expectations for these things is kind of insane anyway given how little we know)......but I don't see how it's the end of the world.


If you told me on January 2nd we could replace BoB/Pete with these 2 or keep BoB/Pete I'd take this trade 100% of the time.

Because you are melting like an LSU fan. Steele is better than than Golding, I don't see why anyone would argue with that. His Auburn defenses were nasty and I didn't enjoy us playing against them. Rees is a wait and see, but as long as he's not calling pad plays where everyone is running to the same spot on the field so one db can cover all our guys I'll be content

Because a lot of y’all are a bunch of weeping vaginas.

Got any more of that copium?

I believe Saban has hired guys who can beat other teams when they have a decided talent advantage. I don't see either coordinator as a guy that can do less with more. Or, in other words, I don't believe either coordinator is a better tactician than the coordinators at the upper tier SEC schools.

I think it's very possible Rees could be. I'm not sure I understand the backlash towards him but guess we'll wait and see. Every football person who has broken down what Notre Dame does on film is impressed with it and thinks he'll be very good with more talented players.

On the other side, I think we decided to go with a guy who will put a consistent product on the field in Steele and agree that we won't be scheming anyone in that side. We also won't outscheme ourselves, which we've had a very bad habit of doing lately. But the Steele thing is clearly a "didn't get the big guys and now we're picking between flawed guys". And last time he did the young wunderkind thing and it blew up, so he decided it was better to have a unit that knew where to go every play at full speed while maybe giving up some tactical magic. This was not the first choice and was a lesser of two evils situation IMHO. The devil you know vs the devil you don't.

Say no to drugs

I hope you aren’t as miserable as you always seem
