Just because fans were frustrated with the offense doesn't mean we were calling for his head.


After the Iron Bowl loss, there were Alabama fans on this board literally saying he had lost his edge and he needed to retire.

I've been told behind-the-scenes there's a growing frustration with a lack of appreciation.


Probably that jock-sniffer Kevin Hagan just making shite up.

There’s a rather vocal contingent of dumbass Alabama fans on this site. Ones that don’t have one bit of perspective.

Bingo. All you have to do is look at posters like rainking bitching about not putting Tua in sooner. The entitlement and bitching is way worse on Bama only sites. I imagine that sentiment gets back to Saban.

Saban does this every year or two and it gets out.

You can't have it both ways : getting mad at people leaving blowouts early and get mad that they care about winning too much. He knows that.

He's just doing what he does. That's fine. I'm still going to get pissed if we lose a game or lose a drive or lose a play. So will he.

Anyone that paid attention to some anonymous message Doofus calling for Saban's head probably believes the Washington Post's stories on Russian collusion.

Saban built this Beast and now he has to fricking feed it.

He's making a kings ransom to coach this team, I couldn't give two shits if he gets "frustrated" with the fan base. He has spoiled the hell out of us, he can just deal with it.

Frustration is knowing you have a generational talent on the bench and are getting your arse handed to you because you can’t bring yourself to make a change.

This happened during the auburn game.

After that loss he knew he made a mistake. And he saw the same thing happening Monday night.

Completely believable. Saban himself has such a disdain for perfection.

So it’s not just the LSU fan base that expects perfection?

I get it's a message board and open forum , but the amount of bama fans that think they know better from the 50-100 snaps we see 12-15 times a year than a historically great coach that lives it non stop is mind boggling.

Every fanbase has that. But with what Saban has done, should not have any room to bitch about what is or isn't being done
