5-7 Big guy, overhyped as usual. Sark is fired. The end
You ask why? Ok, I’ll tell you. Whole year of film on your golden boy Manning. Over paid mercenaries which your team is composed of, do not care about your logo or burnt How did all those 5 star turncoat Bama players work out for you? Additionally, other SEC teams have 5 years of tendencies on Sark, his play calling has become stale and other coaches have him figured out.
So burnt orange man, do your normal preseason huffing and puffing but the same outcome will occur as usual. No SEC CHAMPIONSHIP and no Playoff. :cheers:

Yeah, everyone thinks I’m trying to troll Alabama. I really just don’t think they have the wealth to keep up in this era. They just don’t have super elite alumni like other SEC schools do
I admit I’m poor. How about YOU? Where do you vacation in the summer?
Orange Beach? Mexico? St, Simon’s ?
Your like the person who says, “ I’ll be honest with you”, hell yea you’re trolling. But why? No reason to.
Perhaps you don’t fully understand how nil and pay for play works.
Check out the horses Bama has coming into the portal versus the bums that left or were told to leave.
It’s Pro football man. Either produce or get the frick out!
This turnover in football will be this way every year. Perhaps your needs are 4 really good DL. Say, 750k x 4 $3mil. Say you got a great qb you are already paying 5 mill a year. A few great DB’s at $1.5 mil a year. A few great Lb’s at $1.5 mil. You see, Bama has plenty of money if it needs to spend.
The secret to success will be learning how the pros evaluate and value players and work within their budgets.
The cheating in college ( Texas and A&M) looking at you, will be reined in.
College Free Agency aka “ the portal and nil

1. It is Wild Wild West currently. Teams are supposed to cap nil at $20.5 mil per season. Obviously some teams are exceeding this amount.
2. I do like being able to reach out and fine tune your needs. I clearly see why a General Manager is needed.
3. Nil and the portal will get coaches fired quicker. In the past, your pitch was I need a 10 year contract to build the program Not anymore. AD’s won’t be playing patty cake patty cake, build me a team in 5 years. Better do it in 3 or you’re gone.
4. I see the SEC growing to 24 teams. Playing 9 conference, 2 P4 1 G5. The growth is needed to fuel the nil dollars
5. I see ND, Michigan, OSU, USC, Indiana, Miami, Fl St, Penn St, moving over for the money
The. b10 is really a boring conference except for the above programs
I see college ball being organized like the NFL.
It will be great.

In today’s world, it’s purely business. Bama needs different than Texas so you pay for your needs
I am beginning to understand this nil/ portal and I honestly like it. Don’t have to wait 2-3 years for a coach to reload.
Plus, these portal players are proven commodities unlike hs recruits.
In addition, hs recruits will leave after 1 year if not good and you get to cleanse your roster.

If it makes you feel better I agree. Bama was there because of branding. Win a few more games and they’ll pick you because of branding.

There is only one way to fix college ball before it explodes.
The SEC has been ESPN/ ABC’s cash cow for years. A select few made a handsome living off the money from TV. Since donor money is unlimited in theory, players will be making more money than they would in the NFL. Also, the players will sue to be able to play as long as enrolled and working toward degree. No Court will deny them this right.
So, the poor south can’t compete with the AAU RICH NORTHERN SCHOOLS. ESPN will fight hard to get its teeth into the B10 They won’t be interested in paying for Bama/LSU who are bad teams etc etc
Only way to stop this madness is forming NFL like league with 64 teams and 4 conferences with 4 divisions each conference.
1. Have spring Draft and free agency dates.
2. Collective bargaining
3. Contract employees ( this will be biggest sticking point)
4. No portal after 2 years you can enter free agency.
All networks compete for tv rights.
Commissioner of Football - selected by for conferences.

Deboer, hope you were watching. That’s how you win a championship. Run the damn ball.
Congratulations Canes. Very happy for Cristobal. Class coach.
Great game Rebels. You two could have played 4 more quarters and it would have gone back and forth. Ole Miss did not lose just ran out of time.

As a Bama fan I could care less who wins these meaningless bowls outside the CFP.
If the Texans win the Super Bowl this year and say defeat Philadelphia in doing so, does that mean the NFC conference is #2 to the AFC? :rotflmao:

Very good coach and will win a lot of games at Bama and have Bama in the playoffs regularly. He just has to understand finesse in the SEC wont work and he has got to coach a physical brand of football. Yall will do good with him if you give him time.
I agree but does someone making 11 mil per year not already know this? And if he does not then why are you paying him 11 mil?

Cignetti knows nothing about coaching those types of attitudes being paid the way they are being paid now. He’s coaching kids with a chip on their shoulder looking to prove something. Not millionaire 5 stars who only show up in front of the camera.
Cignetti seems to have similar disposition as Saban. I agree, he has done tremendous coaching job with 3 stars. Do I think he’s a better coach than KD? Absolutely!! I firmly believe in life you stay true to who you are. Saban left because he was getting old and was tired. Could he have dealt with nil and portal?? Yes, just fine.
I perceive cignetti a disciplinarian like Saban. Cignetti will face similar issues at Indiana in coming years as he loads up on prima donnas. Will be interesting to see how he fares.
KD is the worst type of coach, a “Players Coach”.

He got y’all in the playoffs year 2. I wouldn’t really give 2 shits what anybody else thought
It was the Bama “Brand” that got us into the playoffs this year. Wasn’t KD at all. Bama was the most watched team this year and most years.
Bama did not deserve to be in. I’m sorry if any of my fellow Bama brothers disagrees. We were horribly dysfunctional and won some games by a miracle.
Bama needs a Cignetti type coach. Someone who understands Pro ball and how to coach rich prima donnas. KD has no clue how to navigate this new world of college ball.

1. He Inherited some great talent but unable to coach them up.
2. Too nice. Wants to have players “like” him too much. An interview with one of our linebackers who said KD is a “players coach”. To me that’s the kiss of death.
3. Bama fans (BMD’s) included, are spoiled. We expect too much every year. It’s just who we are. That being said, KD does not have 10 years to win a conference or Natty.
4. KD doesn’t seem able to motivate his players to play consistently. ( see #2-being a players coach).
5. Question his hiring ability and management style. Assistants I believe take on the personality of their coach as do the players. KD at least from what I’ve seen is wayyyyy to laid back for Bama.
In Summation, Alabama can’t fire him today because they don’t have the money to pay him and new coach and staff. I believe he has six years left on contract. I predict his agent will find him a good landing spot after next season because Bama will be horrid next year.
