Saban wanted to explore other options at QB in 2023. The team mutinied.

Milroe should be benched this weekend against Auburn. If any of his locker room buddies want to quit as a result take away their scholarships. Cleanse the wound and start healing.

Y’all remember when Saban spanked AJ??? And then AJ won us back to back while being tough as nails? Or hell, when Jalen got his job taken on the biggest stage, stuck around and killed it in garbage time? Then won us the SEC championship? They all respected Saban! These guys didn’t/ don’t!

They tried other QBs last year who stunk it up against So. Fla.

Saban left DeBoer in a terrible situation with the Milroe crap.

... and Booker is a captain.

He looked like Captain D’s last night.

You're 100% correct. The offense mutinied in that game. The RBs didn't run particularly hard. Receivers half heartedly tried to catch passes, dropped a number of them that were pretty easy catches. And most glaringly, the offensive line completely and totally mailed it in.

Buchner and Simpson both took some vicious licks that were completely on the O line. To me, one thing that spoke volumes I noticed was several times Simpson took a tough lick and his linemen were near by and not once did any of them help him up. That was their way of saying "f*ck you, Simpson and CNS".

Love Nick and all he did. He's still the GOAT. HOWEVER, I bet in his heart of hearts, he wished he'd nipped that little rebellion in the bud by immediately benching the entire offense other than Simpson and put the entire second team offense out there on the field.

And for the record, while Simpson wasn't great in that game, for those who want to bash him, go back and watch that USF game. Dude was running for his life almost every passing down and still managed to get some passes off.

Saban suspended Milroe. The backup QBs showed that they sucked against South Florida. The team didn't have a rebellion against Saban. It was a hangover game and they played like shite, except for the defense who balled out and only gave up 3 points. Then there was the odd lightning delay.

Saban did his best coaching job last year and would have won a national championship if his center didn't completely screw up several times in the semifinals and cost Alabama the game.

Face it, DeBoer was handed the keys to a Lamborghini and crashed and burned. Alabama's backup QBs are not as good as Milroe. The coaching staff was completely outclassed by two 5 loss teams and then decided to have Milroe throw the ball 45 times against Tennessee.

The off-season started last night when the clock hit zero. Playoff hopes are dead and we’re going to a meaningless bowl after we probably lose to Auburn in Tuscaloosa. It’s time to hit the reset button. If Jalen and his buddies wanna sit out, let them sit out; they wouldn’t see the field again. When Milroe is on he’s great. But the occasional greatness is not worth the putrid lows and the mediocre normal play that we get from him. And the mid and the high seems to only happen at BDS. Put him on the road and he looks like a bad 2A High school quarterback. He’s not worth it. We’ve seen his best and we’ve seen his worst and the negatives far outweigh the positives. Flush this group and if we lose to Auburn with the second string and third string playing all day, so be it.

He did an amazing coaching job, but again it should have screamed volumes that he said “Frick this ****, I ain’t going through that again,” and got out of Dodge.
