This flies right over the Alabama contingent’s head. Kirby is also not supposed to hire anyone who has ever met Nick Saban, apparently.

Wait..

you think Kirby, the unquestioned best coach in America at present, wasted a coaching staff spot on a guy simply in the HOPE that MAYBE it would lead to getting someone from the portal to come with him?

Just how stupid are ya son?

Talk about an absolutely entitled and delusional fanbase if ever seen one

Take a seat Bama. Mediocrity is amongst you. No one is scared of some NAIA cross dressing life champion

Guessing Downs had to Google his secondary coach like the rest of us.

Their slide to mediocrity is here. No one can deny it.

Kirby is literally trying to become Bama. That’s what y’all don’t understand. He’s literally imitating Saban 100% and trying to be him because he is the standard.


kirby hasn't coached in tuscaloosa in 9 years. What exactly is he still imitating at this point? Either:

1) Kirby has some super duper secret spies within the walls of the football offices at tuscaloosa and is still gathering intel, or

2) Saban hasn't changed anythign at all in how things run in 9 years

So which is it?

does your retarded arse not realize that every program in the united states is trying to become bama? As in, a taem that is consistently well prepared and talented year in and year out to compete for titles? That's the exact point of being a coach. You act like kirby is doing something underhanded or nefarious by trying to assemble a roster

Linguist is a very well respected coach and will be successful there, but let's get real. Downs was there for Saban and Saban alone.

What do you think Saban told him when the family asked him if he would be there all 3 years that Caleb would be there?

I remember telling Bammers they weren't immune to a dumpster fire once Saban left, Saban was the only thing keeping it all together.

They just laughed and said I didn't understand the culture around Alabama football.


Which is kinda odd since you've been run over by said culture many times. Cholly Mac is laughing in his grave at you Cajuns.

this one's so stirred up he just registered this month. Either it's an alter that was too embarrassed to use his real account, his real account was banned for dumbassery, or it was truly an actual new user that was on the sidelines getting so red-faced thinking about kirby sticking it to bama that he had to register immediately. I don't know which is funniest

He was ready to commit to Ohio State last year before the disaster against Michigan. I remember he came up to Columbus instead of the Iron Bowl. Give him all the money. He's that good

It's a huge blow to a defense in transition.

But they may get Muhammad from Washington tho, so perhaps that may lessen the sting a little

don’t see how Alabama gets better on defense by losing the entire defense. Lol.


Well, first of all, Bama is not losing its “entire defense.” Multiple D starters have announced they are staying.

The portal isn't done with Bama yet.

Caleb was staying. Until he wasn't.
Hell... Saban was staying. Until he wasn't.

Secondary is completely wiped out due to the portal. Obviously Nick was the real secondary coach, so guess it makes sense, this is where we would see the biggest loss.

Probably need 3-4 guys in the portal to come in in the Spring time to help with the roster at this point.

The secondary most likely will be very bad next year, as no one has any experience really left on the roster.
