Bama Game Thread: Official Complaint Thread, Bama vs. IU...

[Cruloc]

Im over DeBoer and staff.

Weak and soft.

We've been smoke and mirrors all year.

Wrong mentality to win at the upper echelon of college football.

We shouldn't be this bad.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

I will avoid all the inevitable commentary the next few days on then interweb. It will be brutal and unforgiving, but probably deserved.

Definitely deserved.

 

[Moro Creek]

It's sad we will have to put up with this at least 2 more years. I will have to say that our OL is the best in the country at picking up our backs after they get de-horned.

 

[Con]

New complaint.... Bending and breaking defense has gotten too much credit too. They don't do well against the run and break too much

It hurts with field position. They drive and we get a stop then they punt to in is deep.

 

[Special K]

It’s a different era now, you don’t get to “take forever to work out” anymore. If we don’t have the players we need then go out and buy them. This is CFB now. You don’t wait around to get your guys, you buy them.

We’ll see what he does this offseason but, I don’t have much hope. I’m not a fan, I don’t like his style of coaching and I don’t like what he says in the media. Winning some big games is not enough, Vandy does that now.

Same for me. Just listen to his answers during on-field interviews. No talk of adjustments or Xs and Os, just nonsense about energy, look in their eyes, etc.

 

[CoolBreeze]

We got that going for us at least.

Nothin but winners around here Jack!

 

[LA BamaCarl]

If I were the head coach, I would apologize, give half my salary back,and go retire somewhere.

 

[64met]

We pay CKD and staff $10 plus million dollars and the product they put out is garbage. The running game has been non existent ALL year. Do we ever spend time trying to fix? IDK, my eyes tell me NO.

I turned this garbage off. It hurts to see a proud program get kicked in the mouth like this. Good bye, Deboer

 

[RammerJammer15]

I’ve tried to remain optimistic but I just don’t think CKD is going to last at Alabama. I’ve never seen an entire program identity deteriorate this fast. We play soft, stupid football. Sad really.

I really want to give DeBoer grace and I don’t think it would be as bad if we didn’t look so pathetic in some of these loses

2024 OU
2024 Michigan
2025 UGA
2026 Indiana

I can live with close loses

 

[BamaInCummingGA]

I like Coach DeBoer. I think he can be a good to excellent coach if he is willing to do a couple of things.
We HAVE to revamp strength and conditioning, we HAVE to get big and mean on both sides of the ball. We DO NOT have any strength, power, quickness or toughness on either side of the ball.
Not bashing a coach here but Grubb (if coach is gonna keep him) has got to figure out that this ain't the Pac whatever and you have got to be able to run the ball and get 4 to 5 yards a carry even when people know you're going to run. Grub just doesn't seem to get it and just doesn't seem to make adjustments (or at least not good ones) and he tries to outsmart himself in the worst of times/situations.
Womack needs to make a couple of adjustments in his defensive philosophy and has got to figure out how to get pressure on the offense.
These things can be fixed and if this staff is willing they can do it.
Coach, toughness and want to starts at the top. Enough of Mr. Nice Guy players coach.
The teams that are winning in this playoff are tough because their coaches are tough and demand more from their players.

This is getting hard to watch.

 

[spidermayin]

You're right herbstreit. This is embarassing

I’m done too.

I’m fine with getting beat but it at least be competitive and evident that we were prepared and they were just better.

We are getting just embarrassed and outclassed in every aspect of the game.

I’m envious of IU’s staff and I’d help pack U-Hauls for CKD and his staff.

He kicked a FG down 24-0

What a Pansy

 

[bamamc1]

This is reminding me of the Citrus Bowl when we killed Michigan State.

 

[OconeeTide]

You have to make massive changes this off-season.
Grubb gotta go.
Oline gotta go.
Oline coach gotta go.
Strength and conditioning gotta go.
If he cant do that then CKD is gonna have a short time here in Tuscaloosa.

It’s not that simple. You need to get the right fit guys. DeBoer just doesn’t have it. We are stuck with a bunch of Saban holdovers who haven’t panned out and a bunch of transfers that haven’t panned out. Our best guys right now are guys DeBoer brought in.

Indiana got absolutely destroyed by both Ohio St and Notre Dame last year. So before we say DeBoer can’t and Cignetti is the only one ask an Indiana fan about how they went from getting destroyed by the big boys to beating them in a year.

There are a lot of positives this year, and a lot to be optimistic about going forward. I just don’t think making definitive takes on a coaching staff in two years.

 

[countrytider]

We need to pull the plug on this soft loser of a finesse pac12 coach and leave him out there where he belongs.

 

[CB4]

we aren’t even competing. That is the saddest commentary of all.

 

[bamadwain]

Some are saying fire him, who are you going to get? It took State Penn and Michigan awhile to find coaches, KD can coach he has to have his players and he does have to make changes, Ryan,Keelon, and some of the others are coming back because they have signed new contracts, Austin Mack has not but I'm still a Bama and always will be, it just wasn't our day

 

[ua86]

we aren’t even competing. That is the saddest commentary of all.

Agreed. If you get beat, you get beat. Quiting is unforgivable.
