Well evidently he should leave it up to the fans.

Just seems very, very human fans term everything UA with super-human qualities. Starter goes down, "well the back up is better anyway". It just baffles me at times.

Not saying that you would pay attention to Bama, but ALLOT of fans on this board have been saying this all season.

Well if you would take the time to go over to the Alabama board, or another Alabama blog you would see that this is a topic that was discussed several weeks ago.

When Lindsay replaced Kelly, Alabama averaged over 7 yards per carry and the OL allowed 1 sack in three games. A lot of Alabama fans were confused when Kelly began starting again.

Sorry to "baffle" you.

You can think what you want, and act like we are being delusional, irrational, whatever the frick ever, but the facts are that our line looked better when Lindsay was in the game this year. You can search back through 7 weeks of posts to confirm our opinions towards this if it bothers you so much.

If it baffles you, then you haven't been around the CFB game very long. Fans always love the backups, sometimes it is justified sometimes not.

Many Bama fans have questioned starter decisions under Saban since his arrival, AJ over McElroy, Trent over Mark, etc...

Specifically to this case, it will be easy to check the Bama forum dating the time of the initial injury. You will find 90% of Bama fans commenting on wanting the backup(Lindsay) to remain the starter.
