So you would have been ok with Alabama's defensive performance if they had managed to score a TD this weekend?
I am saying you cannot ignore defensive TDs and turnovers. They do make a big impact on the game. The lone turnover they had against UF resulted in an easy TD drive.

Every DC out there, including Pruitt has had bad games/defenses.
But Pruitt as a whole was much better. Which is my point. Both of his defenses were ranked no.1 by the SP+ ratings you brought up. The 2017 one was the highest rated defense under Saban. There’s a difference between no.1 and no.3 or no.7. That 2016 defense had a rating of 8.6 while that 2018 defense had one of 14.2.

Not sure what to tell you, when I call someone a dumbass it's not because I'm upset, it's because

or why they think they know better than him.
As already established, no one is perfect. Every great has made mistakes. Doesn’t mean we know more then him, but he has made mistakes before. I would prefer someone else took on the ILB coaching duties but I’m not advocating for Golding to be fired. I’m not saying the defense isn’t going to get at least a little better.
My whole point is questioning why you shite and are hypercritical of the 2016 defense and Pruitt, but don’t do the same for Golding’s defenses.

Yeah, but you still gave up 200 yards rushing and couldn't stop the run. You can't count on turnovers.

I'm a big fan of Pruitt, but the situations just have not been the same.

You are the one who brought it up. I don't complain, I just tell them they are a dumbass while at the same time telling them why. There is a reason why I generally don't like Alabama fans.

Not a single person on this forum has even a remote clue what really goes on. Don't even have 1% of the information that Nick Saban has. Only some pretend to.
And what you say about Saban making mistakes is entirely my point - he will fix them if he does.
Does anyone listen to what he actually says?

People pretend Pruitt was prefect and have selective memory. If I could pick any DC it would be Pruitt, but people forget the times the defense struggled under him, and he didn't have any where near the same problems Alabama has been dealing with.
It's like SoS. You have to take into account the circumstances around it.
