This^^^ x 1,0000000...
Here we go again, second-guessing our guy :SMDH:
Maybe we should peak against Auburn so we could own the Iron Bowl more often. Then if we slip up pre peak against MSU or LSU, we won’t have to worry about that pesky SECC game.
Maybe we should knock out a couple of early-season losses in the coming years so we won’t have to worry about fatigue in January so much. Yeah, that’s it. Blow some earlier in the year so we can preserve our playoff record, but absolutely save our peak in the event we luck our way into the CFP final
I’m all in!

You wanna be tested but not back to back to back. Then throw in the stupidity of scheduling a triple option team for our cream puff and it’s just a recipe for disaster.
I think it’s one of many reasons Saban wants to go to 9 conference games. That would almost certainly require a shuffling of the schedule order and may provide us a little relief.

Yes, but our schedule has always been tough, as the SEC West has been the best division in CFB for quite some time now. But it's only lately that we've made a habit of limping into the post-season. Sure, injuries and depth play a role, but there's more to Saban's admitting that something was "off" in November, andf that he was having trouble figuring it out. Saban himself said he thought it was mental.
Are we just going to resign ourselves to being a shell of ourselves at the end of 12 games every year, or are we going to combat that issue? The schedule ain't getting easier.

The Citadel wasn't an option team when they were scheduled I don't think. Bottom line though is that they play in the ACC which isn't very tough even when FSU doesn't suck and we play in the SEC which is very tough even when the east is down. It is what it is and we can't change those facts. We can change how and when we play key reserves early so that they are ready to contribute in December and January. We can change the way we attack a defense after we see how they are scheming us early. We can change how we affect the quarterback when it's obvious that three/four guys aren't doing it alone.

No they were not.
Let's face it, Bama's D was not the typical Bama D this year. Problem was that they showed out against LSU and played well against the rest of the schedule. Everyone just thought that they had be loafing during the early weeks; but they showed that wasn't true. (The D started the CFB games lights out; but, faultered soon after.)
Coaching needs - Linebacker performance was extremely subpar all year (I know, forget the injuries....still terrible - Especially ILB...mostly LOST rest of the time unsure, unclear and both M&W in the same spot trying to cover the same player)
Having just recruited probably the best class ever, there is a need to shore up the D (esp LB's) and replace the Dline...
Lots of rumors about coaches leaving and I understand the angst everyone is feeling having just witnessed the worse beatdown in 11-12 years.... but, let's not lose faith in the creater of one of the most successful and feared dynasties in Football history (JMHO).
Immediate need to replace Locks and do a true self evaluation of the rest... maybe provide some much needed help with knowing/understanding the Bama Process

I believe in the coming week(s) we will see the real story on how one Nick Saban feels about the year that just ended (staff performance)
“When you play against good people, that’s when you focus your concentration. Your sense of urgency to be disciplined in your execution all become more critical. Sometimes you get away with doing things not quite right against lesser competition, but when you play against real good people that’s when it shows up.” – Nick Saban
“Great leaders do not rush to make changes because of failure.” Nick Saban
