Our staff called a horrendous game today all arguing aside.

They were out coached at every turn.

You took exception to me saying Saban was a mediocre game day coach. I didn't say I wanted anyone else. He's the best there is when it comes to recruiting and building a program, but in the heat of the moment against good teams he chokes.

It is what it is.

In the heat of the moment he chokes? Gtfo with that crap...Every coach chokes and shites the bed once in awhile. We had our opportunities today, did not use our rbs enough. But u win and lose as a team. And to everyone on this board who think we don't deserve the playoffs needs to remember we ll be healthy by that time. It's more than injuries I get that but coach has consistently won against extreme pressure every week for a decade. We don't slip and lose to pitiful teams, and don't give me that talent advantage crap because there's a team in Columbus that got their doors blown off twice by less talented teams. We are spoiled plain and simple and nitpick every damn thing. If we make it to the playoffs I ll guarantee we don't embarrass ourselves

My issue was that you blamed the whole loss on Saban's preparation and game day coaching, when the reality is that certain areas of our team...OL and aspects of the kicking game...just are not good at all. When you start out with OL players who just aren't very good, you're not going to win no matter how well prepared they are. You can't game prepare and game day coach Womack and Cotton into Warmack, Jones, and Fluker.

Now if you want to blame Saban for poor HS OL evaluation and/or poor hiring of an OL coach, I'm all in with you on that.
