Y’all wild as hell for celebrating losing this:

13th sounds great to someone who is used to being 30th

13th, when coupled with being more like 75th against every competent offense you play, is fireable when you are used to being #1-3 and have a roster full of elite talent comparable to the units that were #1-3

QRD on what we are getting in Golding and why y’all hate him?

Pros : Great recruiter, from what we know very smart football guy, works his arse off, Saban loves him

Cons : Seems to implement the most bizarre blitzes you've ever seen at the worst possible times, worst ILB position coach we've had in the Saban era, hasn't seemed to have gotten any better since 2019 and his defenses routinely melt down in the biggest possible moments. He gets a bit of a pass on a few elements of it as the talent on defense is not quite what it was at certain spots (DT, ILB). But, his defense this season was one of the most underachieving units I've seen at Alabama in 20 years.
