re: It’s been a good run

I feel beyond strongly that Coach Saban has earned the right to say when to call it quits. Yes, the program has slipped, no question. But Coach still believes he can right the ship. I’m beyond frustrated with the coordinators, mainly our DC Golding. He is a person that cannot adjust, cannot coach, and in 5 years, no one has tried to hire him away. My God, Oklahoma has Ted Roof and he is considered a better coordinator when he is terrible himself. Golding, however, is a different level of bad. Jimmy Lake is available. Yes I know his circumstances on why he was fired, but I am so tired of seeing us absolutely blasted by offenses when we have probably the most talent of any Saban D with the probable exception of 2016’s personnel. We cannot stop anyone on D anymore except teams we greatly out talent. And I am sick and tired of hearing “offenses have the rules bent their way. You can’t have D’s like 2011 anymore.” Well maybe or maybe not, but I by God know we can have one worlds better than I saw out there tonight. Our defense was an absolute embarrassment tonight. Golding should be arrested for stealing money from the university (his paycheck).

I agree, but with one caveat: they’re undisciplined.

The biggest flaw in this team is penalties. Yes, Golding is garbage. So is BoB. But the penalties are inexcusable.

Take away all of the stupid penalties, and the games against Texas and Tennessee aren’t close.

I’m not trying to pump sunshine up anyone’s arse, but to me, that’s the reason why this team is so shaky. And all of that comes down to coaching. Everyone knows that Alabama will get everyone’s best shot, including the coaches. When that’s the case, you don’t gift them yards with stupid penalties.
