Because he had a previous tenure at the school that holds his allegiance, that makes it okay for him to spend money and three years studying at the arch-rival's school? You want to move the goal posts some more?
You didn't graduate from Bama, dork. STFU

All these horrible decisions by Saban, and he hasn't lost more than 2 games in a year since 2010.

When is the last time Saban made a mistake I think he and Kiffin made a mistake last year not giving Blake Barnett significant playing time. I am pretty sure he'd have been the starting qb by the end of the year and UA would have won that last game. UA had only 2 offensive series of more than 5 plays in that game. The defense forced 2 turnovers on Clemson's side of the field and we managed 3 points for it. We had no respectable passing game. I think Barnett would have made the difference. edit: Letting Kiffin go a week before the title game was also a dumb idea imo. It was Kiffin's play calling for Hurts that made up for the lack of a real passing game.
Blake had an entire extra year to learn the playbook and offense and still lost to a true freshman playing in his first college game ever. And had it not been for the almost super human feats of Deshaun and his WR (and some costly Bama penalties) Hurts almost won us the national championship single handily.
But Saban totally should've started Blake over Jalen.
ETA I do think Saban made a mistake in letting Kiffen go. Even if we still lose that game I still think we look a little bit better on offense, Bo's injury notwithstanding.

Hard to second guess a guy that has won 4 National Titles, but I would say that the last mistake was probably made when Saban kept Kiffin around once Kiffin was named the HC at FAU. The offense looked awful and unprepared in the semifinal against Washington. I imagine that Saban thought Kiffin was mature enough to multi task but that was proven wrong as well.

No. Four threads down on this board this morning was a post about expectations for Orgeron from a Bama fan. Like the 18th post in this topic in the past 2 weeks. I thought I would pose a question to Bama fans about their beloved midget

Barnett went into the fetal position every time there was the slightest bit of pressure.

Every coach makes mistakes every week. Good ones make far fewer of them.

Paraphrasing requires citation just as much as a quote does. Lack of one in either instance can get you in the same amount of trouble in the literary world. Conclusion...yes...I did quote you. I just did it in a roundabout way.

Lol, you're lost. There was no citation and you didn't respond directly to either of my posts. On top of that, you claimed that I didn't provide a specific distance, when in fact, I did so twice.

If I recall correctly, that was an auto-check from the Punter based on the formation Texas was in.Still shouldn't have even been an option on that part of the field, but I don't think Saban made the call.
I think one of the up-backs audibled to it. The reason it was in:

"To be honest with you, it was probably a mistake, because it didn't work," Saban said.
Saban explained that Alabama had noticed in game preparation that Texas often didn't cover the gunners, "sort of daring you to throw the ball to the guy."
"Well, we actually made Julio Jones the gunner into the boundary so we could throw the ball to him. And he got hurt on the play before that punt, and we had a freshman who has turned out to be a pretty good player in the meantime, Dre Kirkpatrick, who was in there, and he didn't really run the pass pattern."

You want to show me where that happens? He was 5 of 6 for 100 yards and a td in that first game. He was hit in the backfield once and lost yards, but held on to the ball. Hurt, on the other hand, fumbled in the same sort of situation.
can you show me where that happens?

What were his stats before Hurts put us up by 30 touchdowns?

Letting Kiffin go before the last game was a pretty big mistake

I'm not sure without rewatching that video but as noted, he was 5 of 6 for the night, and Ridley dropped the pass in his hands on the first series.
My post was in response to the guy that said Barnett went into the fetal position every time he got pressure. The video evidence clearly shows that isn't the case.

Is it? What I saw in the video was him complete 2 passes that went 5 yards or less when we were down 0-3.
Then it skipped to when we put him back in the game after Hurts put us up 38-6. Not too much pressure when the game is over.

You're confusing "talking about" with "laughing at". We are laughing at him.

What mistakes are you willing to acknowledge that he has made?
* DJ Hall
* comparing La Mo to 9/11 (even tho we all knew what he meant)
* Not properly preparing team for Utah
* Not getting out ahead of the entitlement in 2010
* kickers - cost us conference championships in 2011 & 2013 (fortunately, didn't cost us the natty in 2011 b/c everyone knew who the best team in America really was that year)
* Jonathon Taylor
* Timing of Lane Kiffin firing
* consistently messes up the whole i before e thing

You can't really deny objective facts, but it's good to see that St. Nick is working on those deficiencies, unlike some coaches that stubbornly refuse to admit there is a problem.
“One of the things that we evaluated is we haven’t been able to win big games when we can’t pass the ball effectively,” Saban said in his appearance on the SEC Network. “We weren’t able to pass the ball effectively in the Clemson game, and I think ultimately that was one of the reasons that we had trouble keeping the ball. Couldn’t convert on third down, didn’t make a lot of explosive plays throwing the ball and there were some plays that we could’ve made in the game that we didn’t make."
