Ole Miss is our biggest historical rival.

If Lane Kiffin had been coaching the Vols the last 6 years and had them lined up for the CFP and then bolted for Bama, y'all would be behaving exactly the same way as LSU is towards Ole Miss.

DeBoer is a solid hire and we'll see how it plays out. His margin of safety is no less thin than Kelly's was at LSU. He's got to have success in the CFP in the next few years or he'll be out on his arse too.


We already hired Kiffin before. We did not act that way.

We hired Butch Jones as well. The extent of that ribbing was mostly Tennessee paying him to wash Saban's car, and him smoking cigars in the Alabama locker room after Alabama beat Tennessee.

Deboer has already exceeded everything Brian Kelly did.

Don't count your chickens yet.

BK also opened the season with a loss to FSU culminating in a trip to Atlanta.

Y'all still gotta play the game this Saturday.

And Saban rehabbing coaches as assistants is also not remotely analogous. Keep reaching.

You know I'm right that DeBoer's margin of safety is thin. Bama fans have already been quite restless with DeBoer and his seat warms right back up if they aren't making progress with the CFP.

LSU fans hold the Missouri and Ole Miss football programs in contempt. They say they are inferior. Everything about them sucks.

Yet they keep raiding them for coaches.

That is strange.

I'm not counting chickens, I'm counting losses. And we can count blowout losses by 20 or more points if you really want to get freaky about BK's best year.

If anything it's even better for Alabama because we weren't stuck over-stating their resume as a means of coping because they were hired as a HC.

I hope to never live in the hell that would be having to hire a former Tennessee coach who has 0 accomplishments and has been fired repeatedly as our HC.

I don't think you have a remote clue about Alabama's hiring and firing practices. Of our past 8 coaches we have fired only 2 of them. 3 out of 9 if you want to count Mike Price. 3 of them retired, the other 3 left for other jobs(all with 10 win seasons when they left).

The era of the CFP and NIL is not analogous to the world of DuBose, Fran and Shula.

Expectations are higher now.

Yup, they left for Tampa (NFL), Kentucky and Texas A&M. Almost like they knew they weren't meeting expectations and got out while they could. Shula and DuBose stayed too long and got fired the year after their 10 win season.

Expectations have always been high at Bama. They are even higher now relative to 20 years ago. The success of the SEC as a whole (and yes, Bama leads the way there) has created much higher expectations for all the teams with the means to spend big.

Love it. I hope we absolutely destroy their program and they never recover from it.

I'm starting to think 3down10 just likes to be argumentative.

It's the rant so whatever.

Well yeah, it’s Washington.

Are you seriously trying to compare that to LSU/Ole Miss?

"BY GAWD! We're gutting a lesser program, because we're the best job in America."



You are proving you are a dumpster fire that has to a raid a smaller, yet superior, program just to compete.

Y'all are a 3rd tier school now.
