What? 2 plays. Come on man, you’re much better than that.

You are ignoring the 11 wins (I’m sure the one in JH is especially galling) and the historic CF playoff win. Also won their way to the SECC game, also the historic 4 game streak over ranked opponents. Thanks for the reminder.

Whole heartedly agree with your post and apologize for nitpicking: DeBoer is actually 3-0 vs Lanning.

I don’t either. Devonta has very large and incredible hands. But Ryan is faster and much more elusive. He’s a unique talent As far as I know, there is no one like him in college or pro ball.

I don’t know what to say, bad effort is an issue, but don’t know the best response. The only thing I would strongly disagree with some about, is that he fears contact. I do reject that. He knowingly takes some massive hits to catch the ball and remarkably hangs on. PR is one of the most vulnerable and dangerous roles in sport. Having said that, I understand the complaints of many. I just don’t like harping on something that I can’t change, though I can’t begrudge those who want to and I sympathize with them.

I think I understand your sentiment but some things are best left unsaid. Frequently, you can’t help what you think or feel, but you can control what you say or post.

Penn State and especially Michigan were genuine threats. It was absolutely necessary.

I’m responding to the thread in general.

Even Coach Saban said that you treat some players differently. Most of you remember Andre Smith. He was someone who makes RCW seem like Xavier Griffin or Jireh Edwards in terms of effort. He was also the most devastating run blocker I’ve ever seen, and of course Saban knew it. He told Smith once that if he would put forth the effort, he could be an all time great. But though his effort was spotty CNS always played him. He was 1st team All-SEC in 2007-2008, won the Jacobs trophy in 2007, unanimous All-American in 2008, won the Outland and Jim Parker trophy in 2008 and was the 6th player taken in the 2009 draft. If he had not had “issues” he would have likely been Alabama’s 1st number 1 pick in the NFL draft. He had “issues” in his NFL career just like in college. He had a few good years and made several 10s of millions of dollars but never came close to his potential. Nevertheless, with these things known, he signed several contracts with 4 NFL teams, including 2 tours with the Bengals, over 13 years.

The point is that if you have exceptional talent, and of course Ryan does, almost all coaches, including Nick Saban will put up with a lot, i.e., you can get away with murder, sometimes literally.

The Alabama offense without RCW is not even close to what it is with him. IMO, no sane person would disagree.

It happens in the real world too. If an employee gets in any type of trouble, even serious or disqualifiable trouble, one of the key questions from upper management, especially in fields that require real talent, is “is he productive, is he worth keeping?”. Some employees are more equal than others. Frankly, it is often a valid approach.

You’re an idiot. They were wrongly left out of the playoff in 2024 and made the SECC game and playoff last year and won the first road game in the history of the playoff. The coaching staff did a great job winning 11 games without a running game or deep passing threat. Ty was NFL level in the short and mid game and bad with the deep ball.

Auburn - what a joke. Lucked out vs a wretched Baylor team. Brown with 3 ints out of 30+ passes. Bama will probably have 2 NOTs and 35+ pts in AU’s house of horrors:: BDS. AU has won there once 15 years ago, via fluke. They not only always lose but it has been by double digits every time. Frequently a 20+ beat down. “Panty-waist” DeBoer is 2-0. Looking forward to running the streak to 7 vs your inept stumbling, bumbling program.

Again, AU squeaked out a win vs Baylor in their home away from home Atlanta - Baylor had to fly halfway across the country. Pathetic Baylor’s 4th loss in a row. 55k the reported attendance in the 75k stadium - looked like less than that. Nobody cares about the 3rd tier SEC school. AU will have trouble stopping their streak of 5 consecutive losing seasons.

You’ve got to be a troll, no one can be that stupid.

You are a fool.

Thanks for the lists. You’re right, what a high number of “hits” in that class. Just another example of the evaluation and closing abilities of this staff.
