I had this discussion with some FSU fans I went to the game with last Saturday. While walking through campus back to our ride, one of them who was clearly upset with the loss was hung up on this "DeBoer isn't a fit for Bama."

I've heard that before. Mostly from casuals and various media folks, but from Bama fans as well. Every time I hear this I can't help but think "so what's your solution? Who do we get?"

Let's say DeBoer "isn't a fit" hypothetically. In that case we need to replace him, so who are we doing that with? I've heard Lanning, Sark, Kiffin, Mario, Cignetti...

He's undefeated against Lanning, beating him multiple times.
Undefeated against Sark as well.
Is 2-1 vs Kirby.
Kiffin clearly wanted the job, but the powers that be didn't want him.
Mario isn't leaving Miami.
Cignetti seems to be happy building his own legacy at Indiana, away from Saban's shadow

So who else? I'm not saying there aren't good coaches out there, but the fact is in that moment some dudes probably didn't want to follow Saban. KDB did, and I applaud him for it.

We're in year 3.
We've been to the SEC championship.
We've won an away game in the playoffs, avenging a regular season loss.
We're currently undefeated.
Offense looks great and the running game has resurged now that the OL and TE rooms have been revamped.
Despite struggling against a 6'6 235lb WR, the defense has shown the capacity to be elite



Am I 100% happy with the results? No.
Do I think he's done a bad job? Absolutely not.

It could be better, but it could be so much worse. We could've been UF post Meyer. Auburn chasing their tails after Chizik, Malzahn, Harsin, Freeze, etc...

We're in a great spot

Brother what a fiasco that weekend turned out to be lol. Also will be out for blood. Hope the team is as well

It shows. Your criticisms of him are dispelled in the video you responded to without watching

Basically...you look foolish right now

He isn't breaking film down for you or anyone else with football knowledge and experience. He's doing it for those who don't have much understanding and just say repeated phrases like "run da bawl", etc

He literally says as much. His target audience isn’t people with extensive or even solid football knowledge. It’s primarily for people who have never really played, let alone coached, so they can have a better understanding of what’s happening in a game. At the end of the day there’s a lot more people that DON’T know football on an intimate level than there are people that do. That is why he tries to speak in a way they can understand.

Clearly it’s working because he’s leveraged his start up YouTube film channel into guest spots on ESPN. You don’t have to agree with him, but he clearly has the right formula and many people seem to like him.

Seems like Waldrep and Delgatty both cross their feet too much. Good news is that’s incredibly fixable and theoretically should improve as the season progresses

This video was overall really positive to me for all parties reviewed.

With reps should come improvement, and the fact that we did well and still left so much on the table is very encouraging

No because they capitulated

Yeah at lineman camps it was basically God’s law that as OL you know the DL gets to help themselves to fat handfuls of your jersey but you can’t do that in return

A DL being called for “holding” an OL is laughable to me. Idc what the rule book says

Buncha socialists and communists still living off their mommy and daddy’s bank account

Is anyone surprised?

Colleges are liberal cesspools

Just saw they added two players to the roster locking in their 105, and removing any chance they add the two NFL guys.

So it’s over?
We can play football now?

It’s actually a pretty weak slate for an opening weekend.
