Obviously want to win but I can’t be the only one who cares less about the outcome of the game now that Wrightsell’s back.

Cheers to Kalen DeBoer

I’ve been as critical as anyone on the board. But he’s out coached Kirby in back to back years. He had a great gamplan tonight. Still a long way to go this season but I’m tremendously impressed by how he’s gotten the team to rebound since FSU disaster. He deserves a lot of credit.
The money figure in question is not $70 million. It's $10 million. That's how much CKD's buyout declines next year. The power players will have to figure out is if it's worth $10 million to keep the wrong coach for an extra season.

Two mediocre baseball hires and what appears to be a disastrous football hire. I'd still give him one more chance because of CNO and his track record at previous jobs, but it hasn't been great.

Rewatched some of the game yesterday and his effort on several key plays was unacceptable. If I were CKD, no way would I let him play Saturday. For all the money I'm sure we're paying him, that was pathetic. Bench him.

The question is if it's worth waiting until after next season to pay $59 million? We know now that CKD is not the right coach for this program. Is it really worth another $10 million to wait around for another year? It's not my money but what must be done eventually should be done immediately. Kalen DeBoer is going to get fired sooner than later. It's probably better to just do it sooner rather than later.

Nobody actually believes this and I don't mean to pick on you but people who say stuff like this are being bad fans. As fans, we don't have much say or control over anything, but we can and should hold the program accountable in whatever way we can. Pretending that CKD is doing a good job and that the program is in a good place is delusional and counterproductive. Everybody who loves and cares about this program should be outraged over how its current state.

There is no Nick Saban out there but there are plenty of coaches out there who could go better than 9-5 with four losses to unranked teams with the talent we have. Alabama doesn't have the best coach we could have right now and that should bother all of us.
It's incredible how bad he's been considering all the talent he inherited. All things considered, this is probably the least impressive coaching tenure since Ears Whitworth. The program is headed towards disaster.

re: Bench Ty. Move on now.

Ty wasn't the problem but I don't think he's part of the solution. His pocket awareness is still terrible. The lack of player development across the board is embarassing.

Is clearly not a good fit for this job and the sooner we accept this th better. Greg Byrne needs to start making lists of new candidates ASAP.
0-4 in regionals earns you a contract extension these days? Very puzzling move.
Byrne’s hires outside of CNO have been underwhelming so far but still too early to judge fully.
More people would attend games if there wasn’t a consistent pattern of mediocrity and postseason failure. There’s no reason to get excited about a program that has essentially the same mediocre season every year. We don’t need hot dog deals. We need winners.
Based on his postseason results at both Bama and Maryland, I have serious doubts CRV is the right man for this job. A consistent pattern of failure when it matters most.
Significant changes have to be made this offseason. The postseason results of the last two years are unacceptable.
Losing program finds a way to lose games it has no business losing.
Hard to sum up Alabama’s baseball program better than that 9th inning. Gut wrenching.
Don’t think we end up hosting but would love to be wrong. Hard to see them taking us over UT when they beat us 3/4 all in our home state.
