Richt (UGA)
Kyle Whittingham (Utah)
Urban x2 (UF and OSU)
Sumlin
Gus
Dabo

I had forgotten he lost to Croom in 2007.

It's an impressive run. As much as I hate to say it, the only losses I see on Bama's schedule this season are AU and FSU. Maybe LSU.

Sumlin didn't beat Saban. Kingsbury did. Sumlin just gets credit for hiring him.

We all remember, little bro. But you gotta work on your reading comprehension.

We are projected to lose 2 or 3 games every preseason by opposing fans despite having the most stacked roster in America and having a living legend on the sideline. You guys are consistent for sure but unfortunately you aren't near as consistent as Saban's Bama.

Kingsbury didn't beat Bama. Manziel did. Who gets credit for recruiting him though?

A&M jumped out to like a 20-0 lead. That was impressive. Bama almost completed the comeback, but for whatever reason Doug Nussmeir decided against running the ball 4 straight times (if needed) from the 4 yard line with Eddie Lacy and the top o-line in the country late in the final minutes of the 4th quarter down by 5.


(damn you for making me relive that )

Would TAMU hire Kingsbury after firing Sumlin this year?

1st and Goal: McCarron rush for no gain
2nd and Goal: Lacy rush for 1 yard
3rd and Goal: McCarron scrambled up the middle and was tackled at the 2
4th and Goal: Interception in the endzone

Ok. A) I hate you now, and B) thanks for proving my point. It should have been run Lacy left off tackle as many times as necessary to put it in the end zone.

IIRC, this was the only loss in which Bama wasn't in a position to win in the fourth quarter.

It is more a statement on the turnover in the SEC. How many active coaches have beaten UM?
