Hire better coaches and recruiters
I think we just did. Gus wasted and ruined a lot of good football players, and I don't think this Guy will. How Gus was able to beat ya'll at all, I'll never know

That pretty much sums it up. Stop worry so much about what other teams are doing. If people wanna get mad, get mad at their own team for not being better.


The only problem with this is it isn't how it works in the real world. If enough people cry because they don't want to do what it takes to win, rules change.

Legislating equality is the only way to allow losers to win. It's like when scholarship limits were put into place to prevent teams like Alabama, Ohio State, USC, Michigan, ND, etc... from scooping up all the good players just to have them sit on the bench their whole career.

Alabama, once again, will be the reason that rules are changed. It's not fair that Saban puts in the time and energy to be successful. I can easily see some new NCAA rules, in the near future, that stipulate that a coach can't be as dedicated and driven as Saban. They may not allow these types of coaches to have as many practice sessions as other coaches?

Maybe they will decree that teams like Alabama can only get recruits after other schools have had their picks first, something to make things more fair, you know.

Nobody wants to see one team win all the time. If that team can't be stopped with current rules, invent new ones specifically for them to make everyone happy.

That is so stupid. You're taking opportunities away, for one. Having everyone with the same limit makes sense. Reducing it from 85 would change nothing.

Expanding the playoff will just make it easier for Alabama to get in.

Y'all need to stop crying. Especially A&M fans who have all the money and recruiting area anyone could ask for.

Though it's the Auburn fans who have the drippiest vaginas in this thread.

They already put this rule into place over a decade ago when they limited head coaches on the road during spring recruiting. It was pushed by Mack Brown and Phillip Fulmer.

Imagine that. Rules put into place because Saban was outworking that fat frick great pumpkin Fulmer.

Oh yeah, I had forgotten about that. Something has to be done again, though, it just isn't fair for other teams and their fans.

Maybe allowing Alabama to only have three televised games a season would dissuade good players from wanting to play there and make things more fair for other teams.

And how does this help the players? Giving 1300 fewer kids an opportunity to play and get a college education is a good thing? How much did expanding the playoff last time make recruiting more equal? The top recruits aren’t going to start going to lower tier programs so they can get crushed in the early rounds, they’ll still go to the places where they have the best opportunity to succeed and have a chance to develop into NFL prospects.

Make your program into one of those places, don’t give fewer players an opportunity. And hope Saban retires. That would help.

He's not wrong. They should just let the same NFL semifinal and SB teams select the first several picks every year from now on, year after year after year. Do you dig it?

If they let players pick teams (like CFB recruiting) instead of the other way around that’s exactly what would happen..

I'm not upset. That was the point of my post. One has to care deeply about something to be upset about it. Many different forms of entertainment in the year 2021. This ain't 1973.

Distribute those scholarships to other sports. Baseball for instance. Easy solution.

Really? I see Auburn fans posting all the time on here. And the original purpose of the post was addressing 3 or 4 different schools that are always in the playoffs. Not just 1.

Did I? I was in school at Alabama during that time.

How does that remotely have anything to do with what I said? From 2001-2006 Alabama had Fran leave on his own accord. Price get fired for cause. And then Shula was given 4 years. He managed one season over .500 and his leadership allowed an additional NCAA case to be opened.

My point is, so many programs don’t allow coaches enough time to build. And it has gotten even worse with the money involved now. It’s a revolving door that has allowed a handful of programs to monopolize the sport. Good for Alabama and Clemson. Bad for football in general.

So you're saying Alabama should have given Price and Shula more time?

Those 3 schools you claim that are making the sport boring are actually the teams that everyone needs to learn from. They are always consistent, they know how to hire the right coaches and with that you get the recruiting advantage they all have. Those 3 factors will always lead to success and they all do it very very well. Just gotta suck it up bro and hope your team can learn from the best

The only problem with this outlook is that, unlike economics, sports actually is a zero-sum game. For someone to win, someone else must lose.

This for a username and advocates for more socialism in college football. all of you whining about the success of other teams and recruiting are making your own schools look bad. What you’re saying is my school can’t compete so let’s put rules in place to hurt more successful teams because my team can’t get it done.

I mean we would have given him more time if he hadn't paid a stripper for a blowie

He literally never coached a game. Are you under the impression we fired him for his coaching performance?
