This is a valid concern. If Cortney Morgan is good at his job he should have been constantly evaluating players/keeping an eye on other teams lines throughout the year and shouldn’t be caught flat footed.

In the NIL era we aren’t getting those types of players anymore. Bryce Young and Will Anderson wouldn’t be playing at Bama in 2026. We either don’t have the money or aren’t willing to spend it. That doesn’t mean we can’t have a good team if we are good at talent evaluation and roster building but I have my doubts about this staff. Games are won in the trenches and our O Line has been terrible.

Yea why would we go after the only coach comparable to Saban outside of Kirby dumb

Cignetti has won one Big10 championship. He is a good coach but comparing him to Saban and Kirby is ridiculous. He has about the same resume as Kalen DeBoer at this point.

Don’t to literal kids making millions of dollars, so they can literally be called out for quitting on national television by the TV broadcasters? No thanks.

My point is we need to step up and donate if we want quality new faces instead of this sorry group of losers. We need to hit the portal hard or it will be more of the same.

Go donate to Yea Alabama. The portal opens in a few days and even a small donation helps. Even if you don’t think it does, that is like saying your vote doesn’t matter. If we want good players and want to avoid another disaster like today the alums need to step up.

They played Oregon and Ohio State already and won. That logic kind of falls apart.

The luck runs out eventually for these types of teams. See TCU, who beat Michigan, OU and Texas. I think Bama wins 28-10 with some game changing plays from Bernard and Horton.

I think the following can all be true:

1. DeBoer is a good coach in certain settings, such as Washington in the Pac12
2. He was the best available option given the timing of Saban’s retirement
3. He can probably consistently win 8-10 games at head coach here every year.
4. He is not a great cultural fit for the University of Alabama and his contract is lopsided.

Norman, Roll Tide! Hope to see lots of Bama fans in attendance.

How bad did we beat Georgia in the sec championship that year we had to rematch when we lost 2021 ?

Very good point but I feel like this committee will be swayed by the national media, which is all saying Bama should be out.

Leave DeBoer on the tarmac.

If it means we win a championship in 7 years I might take it
