As a fan, you better hope it's not a "terrible prediction".

Loaded roster is a stretch during the transfer portal era. Bama lost some key pieces to the portal after Saban retired.

Milroe is the worst QB in the last 30 years for Bama in terms of overall functioning at the position for QBs that started at least 5 games. Because of NIL, the coaching change, portal and the Lockeroom DeBoer was held hostage in year 1 by Milroe. Concerning that he had no control on who to play.

Sthephen has Moscona. Stidham has Finebaum. See, there really is somebody for everyone.

3 out of those 4 losses were directly attributable to one player; a guy who, for whatever reason, two coaching staffs felt they couldn't bench because of some handshake/NIL agreement or fear of mutiny from the OLine and skill players.



If the HC of the team is allowing the players to dictate who starts at what position, that’s a bad thing; I man really bad. It shows poor leadership on the part of the coach and indicates the program is out of control. The inmates are running the asylum.

He will get 3 years minimum unless off the field shite happens or we lose like 10 games.

But the alternative is that Milroe was the best they could do.

Which is worse?

If Hugh goes 9-4 in year 3 he'll get a parade. Incredible the gulf between the two programs right now.

You go to bed at night thinking about Alabama football don’t you?


80%(16 of 20) of her last 20 threads she created are about Alabama football. There is a lot of hatred in her. I assumed someone told her they loved her, and while she was bent over hearing Roll Tide the whole time. Now she is bitter and tries to save face for her walk of shame by creating topics about her rival.

This is a stupid post.

Hard to be worse than your "insider" knowledge, yet, here we are.

Alabama had Jalen Milroe, LSU had Jayden Daniels. Hard to argue that Alabama was in better shape when their top line of the QB depth chart was barely a serviceable quarterback yet LSU had a Heisman trophy winner and soon-to-be NFL Rookie of the Year.


Whoa. No one suspected JD would win the Heisman and so on. Kelly at least went to the transfer portal to find a QB to better fit what he wanted to run.

DeBoer could have done the same and, probably, had more gravitas to find a better QB. He decided to ride with what he had and that appears to have been an off call. Plus, DeBoer had a much better roster to work with than Kelly after Coach O.

First year coach fails to replicate the success of the GOAT college coach. Fire him!

Seriously, give the guy 3-4 years to get his system in place with his players. He has won everywhere he has been. I think he will be ok at Bama.

Even Saban failed to win a natty with Milroe at QB.

There aren't any divisions, so there is no woulda coulda shoulda.

However, if they did exist, Alabama would have at worse been tied with Ole Miss for the SEC West.
