The Alabama should have no problem winning another title in 2024, right?

That's what you do when somebody retires. More so when they are on Saban's level. Not everybody in the world thinks the only proper way to reference somebody is by trashing them.

They got a shot, sure. Alabama didn’t suddenly become Vanderbilt overnight. Y’all some ignorant sumbiches

Delusion. Pure delusion. Some bama fans have been drinking since Saban retired. I’m surprised you could type

Shut the frick up. Don't compare Harsin's twin to a coach who's actually won a championship. There is no comparison, two totally different tiers of coaching prowess.
Did Deboer not play for a national title?
Did Washington have as much talent as Georgia?
After answering these questions honestly and leaving your salty estrogen filled emotions out of the equation, you’ll find that what I said is based on facts

So now we give people credit for double-digit losses in the national title game ?
Notre Dame was gifted a spot in the Title Game by beating no one. Deboer and Washington whipped a good Oregon team twice and beat Texas. Notre Dame should’ve lost by 100 had Saban not let off the gas.

Did you watch the Washington-Texas game? (I think it's a valid question, since your team had just lost in OT minutes before; it's okay to admit it if you bailed on the rest of the night afterwards)
If you watched, what is your opinion of the way Washington closed that game out?
*I posted somewhere at the time, maybe the coach's board-
that shitshow wouldn't fly at a major power. DeBoer got cute, and almost blew it. It wasn't just the last minute, it was the last 8 or so. And I was rooting for UW in the game. I think he's not ready for prime time yet.

It’s the PAC. What about that don’t you get?

I admittedly didn’t watch the game live, but I did watch the first 3 quarters of that game and the Michigan game and came away very impressed. I understand the 4th quarter wasn’t quite as impressive, but I’ve also seen Kiffin make some poor decisions late in games, and would not be upset if he was our new coach. Compared to Saban, no one measures up

Didn’t Josh Pate say that Lanning or Kiffin would be hired in the next 24 hours during the search?

And in the PAC 12 which Alabama fans continue to leave out, it’s a horrendous conference with 1-2 hard games a year at most. Much different road in the SEC and BIG 10, even the BIG 12 for that matter.

What did he say?
That Alabama will ALWAYS be better than Tennessee, and that Mike DuBose has won the SEC more recently than the VOLS.
He also said that Tennessee has nothing but basketball, and Alabama is the reigning conference champion in that, too.

I never said they became Vanderbilt over night. I do question when Tide fans run around saying that DeBoer is a better coach, has a better coaching staff and kept the best players and only the players that want to be there.....I mean with all of those advantages you should easily win the title.Posted on 1/21/24 at 1:55 pm to FoTownBam

Washington had the game in hand, they had broken Texas' spirit, and should have, by all rights, coasted to a 20 point win. The fact that they didn't is what concerns me about DeBoer.
About halfway through the 4th quarter, Texas' spirit was clearly broken, and all Washington had to do was run out the clock. Instead, they started calling even more aggressive, some along the lines of trick plays, which only served to remotivate Texas- who didn't want to get embarrassed by UW showboating on them.
Then the playcalling went completely nuts. Drove near the redzone, ran a couple plays to start Texas using TO's, but then on 3rd and long they decided to pass. Incomplete, so no clock OR timeout burning, on a hard down and distance.
Later, when they should be running, they were calling passes- incomplete. When they should be kneeling, they were calling runs- little toss pitches that could be fumbled (see: LSU/Fla State 2022), and DID result in an injury to the (already injured, so it wasn't a total shocker) RB... which also stopped the clock without Texas needing a TO. And that was 3rd and long, he wouldn't have run for the 1st anyway.
It was just a clinic on "how to incorrectly call plays at the end of a game", and it almost bit them in the arse. The Texas WR WAS open in the endzone, if Ewers threw a damn frozen rope instead of a jump ball Texas wins.
quote:Yeah, and I've been a Saints fan and watched as Sean Payton occasionally got too smart for his own good, and snatched defeat when he simply could have knelt for the game winner. It's actually the first thing I thought of.
I’ve also seen Kiffin make some poor decisions late in games, and would not be upset if he was our new coach
quote:Overall program building, that's true.

Last 2-3 minutes of a game you're up 2 scores, AND YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE TRYING TO GET TO THE NEXT GAME, most guys have it pretty much down pat. You run and force TO's to be called, and when they run out of those, you kneel and move on. You take the least risky play possible. That's why everyone knows what Victory Formation is, because it's the obvious call.
