Jumping ship on Kalen after the Vandy game is valid IMO

The sad thing about the Vandy game was it’s not one of those close losses to say a rival (former) west squad like UT, LSU or Auburn. Vandy is one of those universities that their culture is shite, their city is shite and so are their facilities. Nothing about Vandy in analogous to winning and greatness except maybe the attitude their coach has.

But what the loss did was show there are several layers to Deboer’s staff and operation that don’t fly with any tier of the modern Bama fan, whether casual or lifelong. Malachi crashing out, the general apathetic response from Deboer’s press conference and the “he’s been a program patriot since Saban left” excuse for terrible behavior.

It’s enough to piss off alumni, casuals, former players, everybody. It’s the most Brian Kelly thing I’ve ever heard from an Alabama football coach in my life. And the worst thing is, as a coach, he’ll never be able to undo the stain that Alabama is a beatable and vulnerable program to anybody (within reason).


Like I said, it would be different if it was a loss to Georgia. But a loss to Vandy was there worst thing that could’ve happened to him this year. Honestly, I wouldn’t hate Kalen getting the boot despite the recruiting and everything, but you never know how bad the next guy is. But that loss is really bad. Program altering bad. And every fan in Alabama and across the nation should shame the entire team and staff for it.

We aren’t naysayers anymore. We’re just telling it like it is. You some bitches in crimson.

So many words to say that Bama hurt you in the past.

No one is jumping ship.

They just keep getting titrated doses of reality.

They are starting to lash out with incredibly dumb shite every hour.

If we were ever going to get this "dose of reality", getting all at once as it happened over the weekend is actually a huge blessing. We can only go up from here

In fact, what is all of this negativity from you and your like but anger and hurt feelings from past dealings with Alabama?

Were you aware that hurt feelings is simply self-pity and anger is only outward fear?

Meh, BK doesn't have players behaving like Moore and losing to Vanderbilt

Pretty sure this dude is a Bama fan, or has at least pretended to be one for a long time.

As long as we win, I don't have a problem with Moore's antics and DeBoer's t-shirts.

They can shoot fake machine guns (or real ones) and coach bare arse naked for all I care.

Possibly, if CKD can't figure out how to steady his team to a response from a big win.

Vandy is the only SEC team that has beaten Alabama since 2022.

If you fail to win, you'll go on the list of teams that couldn't beat Alabama the year Vandy did next to Georgia.

Vandy played hard like everyone does to Alabama. They wanted it more and won it. Bamas problem isn’t and won’t be coaching it’s overpaid babies who will give up.

It’s more likely an lsu alt than an Arkansas fan.

Hell spoiled Bama fans would jump ship on Saban whenever something didn't suit their fancy, you think they gonna waste half a second imploding on DeBoer?

They deserve all they get.

For me when I wanna know the psyche of the Alabama fan base and the inner workings of the Alabama program, I always seek out a random Arkansas fan for their opinion.
