Paul and Alabama fans listen up. There is no Alabama standard there was a Nick Saban standard. Alabama is just another SEC team without him that's a fact Jack.
Yeah. Pawl and Saban tried to blame UF's struggles on Gator fans (who are still selling out every game). I guess this means Bama fans have lost a step. Or--you know--coaching. Also, Bama lost two games by single scores. It's not exactly Armageddon.
Bama players, especially Milroe spending more time on talk shows in their 50 cent suits and hats than in the film room andnon the practice field. This year is the end of an era!
FACTS. That’s why you don’t have a player led team. You have to have an iron fisted head coach who isn’t afraid to strike a healthy level of fear into his program.
The landscape of college football has changed and people don't see it. Money has changed everything. Can't give 18-19 year old guys that much money and think it doesn't effect them. Requires a different couching style.
No he was 11/11 or 13/13 to start the game against Georgia. That's a little more than "one fluke Hail Mary". Yeah he had 82% completion in the Georgia game, but only 56% in the Tennessee game.
REALLY VANDERBILT DID THAT THIS IS THE NEW COLLEGE FOOTBALL AT LEAST 10 PLAYERS AROUND THE SEC WOULD HAVE BEEN ON A BAMA SABEN LEAD TEAM NOW THEY JUST NEED TO DEAL WITH THE TRANSITION IF THE BEST PLAYER ON BAMA IS A HIGH SCHOOL KID MEANS THEY DID NOT SPEND THERE MONEY RIGHT THIS IS SEMI PRO NOW.😂
Qb play is getting worse every year in football. Tennessee is winning in spite of theirs. It's like a competition for which team can overcome terrible qb play
These days players, and young people in general, are most interested in establishing their own brand and extracting the most, than in putting the hard work.
Penalties reflect a lack of focus and self-discipline. Part of that is coaching. Every lineman on the team is 15 lbs overweight and thus too slow to win that 1 vs 1. Zone defenses will not consistently work, because the films reveal their gaps and points of weakness. If your offense attacks successfully with the running game and you have a quarterback that can run well, you will get first downs consistently. This then opens up your passing lanes just enough.
The sign of a great coach is the guy who can make quick positive changes at halftime when needed. Alabama makes zero changes and seems surprised when other teams do. I knew they were in trouble when DeBoer (I had to look up how to spell it) was giddy about the narrow win over SC who they were expected to boat race and didn't. Right now, I think LSU will be a 10 point favorite but should be a 35 point favorite.
I agree that money (NIL) has changed the landscape. However, another thing that changed is the level of discipline under Saban. Deboer is a players coach, and someone has to be the grown-up. With NIL, you must have some level of discipline/respect on the team, or you will lose the team to the players.
Blame the coach all you want the players need to be criticized just as much their arrogance and ignorance was just at a tipping point to where they needed to be humbled and they sure have been and I'm glad
DeBoer needs to quit being friendly and be a tough coach. No discipline, no focus, terrible coaching, gadget plays, horrible QB play by Milroe who must be replaced. Milroe is NOT a QB
I'm so sick of lazy boy recliner fans who've never coach a football game a day in their life saying Milroe is not a QB just because he doesn't play up to THEIR expectations. Is Carson Beck not sure a QB? What about Quinn Ewers. Both had mediocre to horrible games. It's only the QB's that can run that everyone says they aren't QB's. Stop with the foolishness. Go to practice and help the coach or shut up!!! Because you have no idea what you are talking about!
people need to understand that the dynasty teams aren't going to be a thing anymore in the new landscape of college football. you're not going to have the same team winning it all or even making the championship game year after year. there's no coach out there who's going to bring Saban-type results to Alabama....not even Saban himself, which is why he retired.
@@1100L-u6s I'm not saying that there won't be dominant programs. but guess what....Georgia didn't even make the playoff last year. what I'm saying is, if Alabama fans are hoping for a coach who is going to have Saban type results where the team is in the national title game almost every year, that simply ain't gonna happen. expectations need to be adjusted going forward.
I said the same thing after the loss the Vandy. And again after the subpar performance against South Carolina. And now, we are to say it again after the loss to Tennessee? I'm not so sure that the leadership on this team is conducive to producing a positive response to negative criticism...and that goes from the coaching staff down to the players.
This Deboer dude only came to Bama for the $$ not to try to win championships, Dabo should’ve been the choice but a ton of ignorant Bama fans protested on campus against hiring him, so you got what you paid for.
Either Milroe is hurt or he’s playing not to get hurt. He hasn’t been the same since the Georgia game. I believe his agent has filled his head up and he looks as if he doesn’t want to be there at times. When he’s on the bench, it looks like he’s pouting….
As far as Jalen is concerned I believe he got way too full of himself. All of the interviews, the NIL money, Mel Kiper's Draft projection . . You name it. He is not all that, but he believes he is. The last three games he has played awful, and he has been getting worse. The defense gave the offense plenty of opportunities to build a 2-3 score lead over Tennessee, but they were unable to do anything. Sad, very sad.
Alabama then had a great run for several years, its over with there’s plenty of talented teams so Finebaum and the rest of the 🤡s at ESCNN got to get use to it.
Alabama was EXTREMELY LUCKY not to have lost 6 games last year but somehow won. Can you say that staff is bad by leading an average football team to the playoffs
Alabama had a chance? Bollocks. If Nico, the TN QB, had been just slightly more accurate in the first half, the game wouldn't have even been close, the Vols would have demolished them.
With all due respect to Matt and Paul, all we're hearing is how bad Bama is, what's wrong with Bama ?...They ALL just totally disrespected 102,000 raucous Vol fans having any affect at all on Milroe and their many penalties, or the Vols Big D that put more pressure on Milroe than he's seen all season, or the punishing running of Dylan Sampson, (144 car, 838 yds, 17 tds in 7 games so far), who should be gettin some Heisman love by now...yep, by all means, don't give the Vols or the fans any credit for a well-earned victory imho...GBO !🍊🏈🇺🇸👍🍊!!!!!!
I don’t recognize this type of Alabama football. I haven’t seen an Alabama team coached this poorly since the Dubose and Shula era. I think the program needs a complete reset. We’ve got to figure this out or we will be at the level of Auburn in a few years.
You're talking the "Mike Years", Mike Dubose, Mike Shula and Mike Price. Bama bandwagon fans don't remember those years....guess what, looks like they're back.
How about Tennessee has an elite defense??? How does a team that hangs 40 on GA a train wreck? It really shows how these talking heads just regurgitate the same old talking points. I heard one “analyst” say Tennessee secondary is their weak spot after this game!! That’s old news from 2 years ago, this secondary has been ELITE
Bama will be fine once DeBoer get guys in the program that fit the schemes he runs. However, right now, the coaching staff is not doing a good job at adjusting to the fact that the players don’t fit the scheme.
Same thing I been saying we need a qb that fits the scheme coaches trying to force milroe to be something that he's not instead of working with his strengths
I wish more coaches would speak up about officiating, especially Alabama coaches. All year long people have been complaining about how bad officiating has been in CFB the last few years except when Alabama is getting screwed over. Bama’s last 2 visits to Tenn have been the most biased, one sided, and disgustingly officiated games in my 25 Years of Playing, Coaching, and Watching Football.
Alabama is not immune to the dropoff that often happens at the end of a dynasty or a great run of success. It's happened to the Lakers, Yankees, The U, Duke, UNC, Florida, Patriots, Bulls, and a few more that I'm sure I'm forgetting. I know patience is too much to ask for many Bama fans, but you gotta give Coach DeBoer time to recruit, make corrections, and steady the ship. Plus, Jalen Milroe is great athlete and a good qb, but he's no Michael Penix from the pocket. Kinda feel bad for Coach DeBoer (and his family in Tuscaloosa), bcuz I'm not sure he REALLY understood the pressure cooker he was stepping into. The Vandy loss might be too much to overcome, so making the playoffs seems outta reach for this year. I think he'll have success, but fans gotta let go of the Coach Saban era... I don't think anyone will ever do that again in this new landscape.
Gen Z doesn't realize that before Saban got there (after proving that he couldn't hack it in the NFL), Alabama hadn't won anything significant in several years. Under Dubose, Franchione, and Shula, Alabama was basically what Auburn is right now. You hired a coach with no ties to the South who had an inflated record because he was coaching teams loaded with talent in weak conferences. What did you think would happen? If you actually watched Washington last year, you would have seen that DeBoer got outcoached in at least half of the team's games and only won because of the talent gap between his team and the other one. DeBoer was a desperation hire, plain and simple.
Washington won as an underdog 5 times last year. They had an experienced roster because of the covid rules but they beat Oregon twice who had way more talent than them and Texas. Bama has a bunch of millionaires that don't care if they win or lose. College football will be like this going forward.
Saban wasn’t that bad in the NFL. I don’t know why people keep saying that. He wasn’t great, but also wasn’t there very long. His Dolphins team was just average. Coaches who perform worse than that stay in the NFL for decades. He is a college coach, and he left the NFL for a high-profile college job. It’s not like he was run out of the NFL. It’s so lame that people keep acting like he was.
Dude i remember the Shula days. Bama fans were actually tolerable and then ole Saban came around. It was actually rich rod that was gonna be the coach till word got out and he went to Michigan.
Finebaum claiming you’re getting tossed out after a loss is a rite of passage in the SEC. Welcome DeBoer. Ignored baldy, he doesn’t mean anything he says. He is WWE for college football.
What's delusional about thinking we should've beat Vanderbilt? Especially after winning against Georgia. Or Tennessee with their loss to Arkansas and our record against them. Maybe if more teams had "delusional" fans they wouldn't be so accepting of losses and would have records they could be proud of.
Kalen Deboer is like a Qb that gets sacked 5-6 times and gets panicked the rest of the game.He looks clueless and scared on the sidelines when adversity hits and it permeates throughout the team.Some coaches are great at rallying the troops in a tough game and he just doesn't have tenacity during the game coaching ability.I watch him closely and he just looks confused and uncertain. Even his interviews are uncomfortable and his team sees and hears the same as I do.He will not make it and I see Alabama trying to get Kiffen before Florida gets him.😭
The 2024 college football season is a demonstration of why unrestricted free agency doesn't work. The inmates are running the asylum and that's why Saban bailed from coaching. If the players were as well prepared to play as they are to do foolish celebratory dances...
It’s a good time to be a Bama hater, especially those who are obsessed with Alabama (you know who you are) Imagine having to live through nearly 20 years of dominance including 6 national championships. A true dynasty. Well that’s finally over so go ahead and celebrate! It’s been a long time coming and you’ve earned it !!
The SEC is a relentlessly competitive and difficult conference. Alabama has enjoyed a long, anomalous dynasty, but NIL has leveleld the playing field. Saban saw that, recognized it for what it is, and got out....just in time. If any team thinks that consistent championships are going to be a birthright...or a walk in the park, ...from here on out, ....they probably need to re-think.
With this win for Tennessee: they've know won two of the last three meetings against Alabama after losing 15 consecutive. This is also the first time since 2004 and 2006 Tennessee beat Alabama consecutively in Knoxville. However, this is now the 4th time out of the last 12 conference games in which Tennessee did not score more than 25 points. Again, it's great for Tennessee that they defeated a team they usually don't beat, but they still need to improve on offense because for the first time since 1963, Tennessee went three consecutive games without scoring any points in the first half. As for Alabama, this is the first time since 1929 Alabama lost twice in the State of Tennessee in the same season. This is now the 4th time Alabama had two or more losses in the regular season within the last 16 years (2022, 2019, and 2010 were the others). This is also the first time since Nick Saban's first season at Alabama, 2007, in which the Crimson Tide lost two games in the regular season before November. And the problem with Alabama is that they lack discipline and what happened that night was weeks in the making now that Saban is gone. From the Alabama player punting the football in celebration after defeating Georgia to the Alabama player vs Tennessee flopping on purpose (after being told to do so by one of the members of the coaching staff), if Nick Saban was still coaching, he'd a ripped the players a new one. But at least this is a rivalry once again. I really hope the league expands to 9 games so Alabama and Tennessee can continue to play because even though I am an Alabama fan, I was born and raised in Knoxville, TN and this is a rivalry I hold very near and dear to my heart. Even Nick Saban on College GameDay said that the Tennessee game was a bigger rivalry to his players than the Auburn game because they wanted to wake up for the Tennessee game while having a harder time getting up for the Auburn game. Another classic game in this long played rivalry, although the previous one in Knoxville was way better and one of the greatest in CFB history.
Between NIL, entitlement, discipline, behavior, and entitlement, we have PROBLEMS. KD is a winner, he knows how to coach, but he is just too loose. First year HC, OC, and DC - so they need a little slack. We are not the NW Pacific. We are a DYNASTY in the SEC. It is time we look like it. Milroe may not even get drafted if he does not dramatically change. Lets play Simpson for a half and see what happens. This all or nothing offense just does NOT work with the new time clock rules. We need to drive down the field, not QB runs and 40 yard bombs every drive. I have faith, but I am not OK with the program right now. ROLL TIDE!
Bama would be great if Saban was still the Coach, however, he would have definitely won less National Championships if he had to play under the new rules for his career. NIL and the Portal has changed everything.
It's always this type of coverage for "Marcia Brady" teams or athletes. It's not that the other team won, but (insert various names here, Kansas City, Alabama, etc) lost the game. Now that kids are making the money they deserve, these dynasties are not going to last like they have in the past. I'm enjoying the tears.
There are four coaches that can coach "NIL" Players. On WUZ at Auburn and nobody wants him because he is said to be a no frills/mean coach...said to be! Another is across the state line and having fun with it but gets the respect of the team. His problem is the entire student body and "The Grove" party system before games. The other one just retired from the elephant crew calling NIL a joke for football. The last one went 15-0, got a Heisman QB (not even a good second-stringer), a tight-end that could not run and could barely catch, a running backfield built on name alone but had no real ball skill except for one with kind of a Three pronged French sounding name (he was like the qb and the wr's...damn good and all-around skilled). You all know that little cannonball (and he worked at it with that head coach). You know him. The one everyone made fun of in the way he talked. You know, don't you? The one that actually told players "if you think that you have guaranteed rights to first-string starting positions because you are a 4-5 star out of heaven to this team, go sit on the bench or get ready to get your knuckles and earn your position." We know the one. The one with no organizational skills for the alum's. You know him. The one that has just one heart beat for a team that plays with just one heart beat not 22 separate 5 stars that don't have the skill set to tote water jugs and gatorade. Come oonnnn, you know the name... Would that not be ironic?
With respect to USC, it appears that the football team is struggling to remain in the top fifty (50), after they slipped out of the top twenty- five (25) with the loss to Penn State. That said , it’s time to move on in my humble opinion. If we look how SC handled disappointing performances of coaches, eg., firing Lane Kiffin on a tarmac when SC wasn’t anywhere in contention and it became painfully evident that SC would not be a playoff contender, it might be something to be reflected upon. As an alumni of SC, I would hope to see the program get back to the days when the Trojans were a force to contend with. That decision will rest with the people in charge of making major decisions for the university athletic programs. DRJDC
The play calling has been off. Milrow usually has some deep play-action throws that heighten his confidence. He didn't have a single one against Tennessee. He wasn't able to run how he usually does too.
He should've known what he signed up for before taking the job This is not the West Coast this is SEC man he's gotta win and people want him to win now or else ur outta here This is the toughest conference in the nation
In all honesty. Those are still Sabans players Dabeor is coaching. Give him hes own QB to start with next year. Then criticize him. Milroe is running qb
We all knew Pawl was a Bama fan. He's now leaning into it. They lost two road games by single scores. 🎻🎻🎻 According to Saban and Pawl (and their comments on Florida), this is on Bama fans. I don't make the rules. 😂
OK Paul....call for a ban of any post season play by Texas. Add to that make them play all of their 2025 SEC games on the road. Finally, get the SEC powers that be to impose felony endangerment charges on any fan throwing anything on the field in an SEC venue! You have the clout to do this!
@@JohnMayernich U have no idea what your talking about😅😅 They beat GA for SEC Championship then went to playoffs and played for Nation Championship with Milroe less than a year ago dude
@@BlackConnection337 Negative. Last year Bama never made the title game. They lost to Michigan in the 1st round. The year before that Georgia played TCU. The year before that Bryce Young was the QB for Bama when they lost to Georgia. So you must be laughing at yourself lol. On a scale from 1-10 how goofy do you feel?
They are not a good team. Starting from the head coach and his staff. They can’t even the run the bowel. Please, change the quarter back. Stupid penalties.
Paul thinks Missouri is a win for this Alabama team😂😂😂Alabama will be shredded by Missouri’s aggressive defense. This Alabama team will lose AT LEAST 3 more losses, maybe 4.

Great comment. Totally agree.
That statement would apply to every and any college program
Remember Alabama had 12 national championships before Saban got off that plane. Those are the facts Jack.
@@fatherzionthat was pre portal and pre nil.
Yeah. Pawl and Saban tried to blame UF's struggles on Gator fans (who are still selling out every game). I guess this means Bama fans have lost a step.
Or--you know--coaching.
Also, Bama lost two games by single scores. It's not exactly Armageddon.
Lets be honest if Saban was coaching these guys then they would be no. 1 with no losses
Did Saban ever have "Ice Cream Day" after practices? I doubt it...
Bama players, especially Milroe spending more time on talk shows in their 50 cent suits and hats than in the film room andnon the practice field. This year is the end of an era!
Why post something that is patently false? Those stylish accoutrements come from the $1 rack, and Milbanks doesn’t practice at all.

Bama’s last 2 visits to Tenn have been the most biased, one sided, and disgustingly officiated games in my 25 Years of Playing, Coaching, and Watching Football.
It wasnt more biased than the UGA vs Texas game.
If I was a Tennessee alumni Paul could and would NOT be accepted in the state for kneeling and slobbing Alabama!!
Alabama is not immune to the dropoff that often happens at the end of a dynasty or a great run of success. It's happened to the Lakers, Yankees, The U, Duke, UNC, Florida, Patriots, Bulls, and a few more that I'm sure I'm forgetting.
I know patience is too much to ask for many Bama fans, but you gotta give Coach DeBoer time to recruit, make corrections, and steady the ship. Plus, Jalen Milroe is great athlete and a good qb, but he's no Michael Penix from the pocket.
Kinda feel bad for Coach DeBoer (and his family in Tuscaloosa), bcuz I'm not sure he REALLY understood the pressure cooker he was stepping into. The Vandy loss might be too much to overcome, so making the playoffs seems outta reach for this year. I think he'll have success, but fans gotta let go of the Coach Saban era... I don't think anyone will ever do that again in this new landscape.
Coach DeBoer was handed a lambo as far as the situation he arrived into. That soft west coast attitude just aint gonna cut it down south.
It's coaches in over their heads..
It's almost like nick Saban isn't coaching there anymore and Bama fans think he still is
This is not the end of the world. Relax.
Boo hoo! they lost multiple games before November.. like 80% of FBS. Give us a break!
Why does anyone care what Paul says?
lol. Nobody gives two shits what FineBum has to say or what he thinks.
Gen Z doesn't realize that before Saban got there (after proving that he couldn't hack it in the NFL), Alabama hadn't won anything significant in several years. Under Dubose, Franchione, and Shula, Alabama was basically what Auburn is right now.
You hired a coach with no ties to the South who had an inflated record because he was coaching teams loaded with talent in weak conferences. What did you think would happen? If you actually watched Washington last year, you would have seen that DeBoer got outcoached in at least half of the team's games and only won because of the talent gap between his team and the other one. DeBoer was a desperation hire, plain and simple.
Gotta hire Cignetti
Washington won as an underdog 5 times last year. They had an experienced roster because of the covid rules but they beat Oregon twice who had way more talent than them and Texas. Bama has a bunch of millionaires that don't care if they win or lose. College football will be like this going forward.
Saban wasn’t that bad in the NFL. I don’t know why people keep saying that. He wasn’t great, but also wasn’t there very long. His Dolphins team was just average. Coaches who perform worse than that stay in the NFL for decades. He is a college coach, and he left the NFL for a high-profile college job. It’s not like he was run out of the NFL. It’s so lame that people keep acting like he was.
@@wubuck79 cause most people just repeat everything they hear and don't have opinions of their own.
Dude i remember the Shula days. Bama fans were actually tolerable and then ole Saban came around. It was actually rich rod that was gonna be the coach till word got out and he went to Michigan.
Congrats to Tennessee great win
Finebaum claiming you’re getting tossed out after a loss is a rite of passage in the SEC. Welcome DeBoer. Ignored baldy, he doesn’t mean anything he says. He is WWE for college football.
Dude made his entire career off of slobbing on Saban’s knob and he’s still doing it now that he’s gone!
Maybe BAMA fans are as delusional as Michigan fans -- both seem to think they will win 10-11 games after their HC leaves.
What's delusional about thinking we should've beat Vanderbilt? Especially after winning against Georgia. Or Tennessee with their loss to Arkansas and our record against them. Maybe if more teams had "delusional" fans they wouldn't be so accepting of losses and would have records they could be proud of.
@@tonyrmathis Okie Dokie.
Nick saban said it...this program is heading in the wronf direction
Both teams don’t seem to be very good
Yet Alabama demolished Georgia which demolished Texas…….just sayin
Kalen Deboer is like a Qb that gets sacked 5-6 times and gets panicked the rest of the game.He looks clueless and scared on the sidelines when adversity hits and it permeates throughout the team.Some coaches are great at rallying the troops in a tough game and he just doesn't have tenacity during the game coaching ability.I watch him closely and he just looks confused and uncertain. Even his interviews are uncomfortable and his team sees and hears the same as I do.He will not make it and I see Alabama trying to get Kiffen before Florida gets him.😭
Lol finbum starting to lose his 💩 because Bama doesn't rule the world 😂😂😂
I thought he was crying before he went on air!!!
The 2024 college football season is a demonstration of why unrestricted free agency doesn't work. The inmates are running the asylum and that's why Saban bailed from coaching. If the players were as well prepared to play as they are to do foolish celebratory dances...
It’s a good time to be a Bama hater, especially those who are obsessed with Alabama (you know who you are)
Imagine having to live through nearly 20 years of dominance including 6 national championships. A true dynasty.
Well that’s finally over so go ahead and celebrate!
It’s been a long time coming and you’ve earned it !!
Is there ever a bad time to hate Bama? Answer: nope
He's right no disaplin
Now their standard is a mist: just look at the georgia game going up 28-0 and still almost losing, so much inconsistency
As a non bama fan ain’t no tears here. Welcome to middle of the pack.
NIL and the transfer portal is what's causing this lack of discipline.
The SEC is a relentlessly competitive and difficult conference. Alabama has enjoyed a long, anomalous dynasty, but NIL has leveleld the playing field. Saban saw that, recognized it for what it is, and got out....just in time. If any team thinks that consistent championships are going to be a birthright...or a walk in the park, ...from here on out, ....they probably need to re-think.
They’re losing with Saban recruits so that makes coaching the problem
7-5 season like I predicted in August
Finebum is loving this since he’s a Tennessee alumni and 2 Tennessee schools beat Alabama within weeks of another 😂
I’m gona give you a boxing analogy…. Has there ever been a head coach who was called back to coach!!! Boxers make comebacks all the time!!!
This is the worst Coached team I have seen. Can anyone think of an Alabama Coach that has done a poorer job since Ears Whitworth?
With this win for Tennessee: they've know won two of the last three meetings against Alabama after losing 15 consecutive. This is also the first time since 2004 and 2006 Tennessee beat Alabama consecutively in Knoxville. However, this is now the 4th time out of the last 12 conference games in which Tennessee did not score more than 25 points. Again, it's great for Tennessee that they defeated a team they usually don't beat, but they still need to improve on offense because for the first time since 1963, Tennessee went three consecutive games without scoring any points in the first half.
As for Alabama, this is the first time since 1929 Alabama lost twice in the State of Tennessee in the same season. This is now the 4th time Alabama had two or more losses in the regular season within the last 16 years (2022, 2019, and 2010 were the others). This is also the first time since Nick Saban's first season at Alabama, 2007, in which the Crimson Tide lost two games in the regular season before November. And the problem with Alabama is that they lack discipline and what happened that night was weeks in the making now that Saban is gone. From the Alabama player punting the football in celebration after defeating Georgia to the Alabama player vs Tennessee flopping on purpose (after being told to do so by one of the members of the coaching staff), if Nick Saban was still coaching, he'd a ripped the players a new one. But at least this is a rivalry once again. I really hope the league expands to 9 games so Alabama and Tennessee can continue to play because even though I am an Alabama fan, I was born and raised in Knoxville, TN and this is a rivalry I hold very near and dear to my heart. Even Nick Saban on College GameDay said that the Tennessee game was a bigger rivalry to his players than the Auburn game because they wanted to wake up for the Tennessee game while having a harder time getting up for the Auburn game. Another classic game in this long played rivalry, although the previous one in Knoxville was way better and one of the greatest in CFB history.
Actually Bama lost to Vandy and TENN IN 1984.
L.S.U. is likely licking their chops
Idiotic, ignorant and delusional
We will never sleep on Alabama. We know the talent is there. Y’all Coach is pretty bad though
@@BlackConnection337 I'm from New Iberia. GEAUX TIGERS 💜💛
another field storming
Between NIL, entitlement, discipline, behavior, and entitlement, we have PROBLEMS.
KD is a winner, he knows how to coach, but he is just too loose.
First year HC, OC, and DC - so they need a little slack.
We are not the NW Pacific. We are a DYNASTY in the SEC.
It is time we look like it.
Milroe may not even get drafted if he does not dramatically change.
Lets play Simpson for a half and see what happens.
This all or nothing offense just does NOT work with the new time clock rules.
We need to drive down the field, not QB runs and 40 yard bombs every drive.
I have faith, but I am not OK with the program right now.
ROLL TIDE!
FSU fans wish Norvell had taken the Bama job
Bama would be great if Saban was still the Coach, however, he would have definitely won less National Championships if he had to play under the new rules for his career. NIL and the Portal has changed everything.
The last 4 games has not been up to Alabama standards wouldn’t happen under Saban
Yes it would
It's always this type of coverage for "Marcia Brady" teams or athletes. It's not that the other team won, but (insert various names here, Kansas City, Alabama, etc) lost the game. Now that kids are making the money they deserve, these dynasties are not going to last like they have in the past. I'm enjoying the tears.
There are four coaches that can coach "NIL" Players. On WUZ at Auburn and nobody wants him because he is said to be a no frills/mean coach...said to be!
Another is across the state line and having fun with it but gets the respect of the team. His problem is the entire student body and "The Grove" party system before games.
The other one just retired from the elephant crew calling NIL a joke for football.
The last one went 15-0, got a Heisman QB (not even a good second-stringer), a tight-end that could not run and could barely catch, a running backfield built on name alone but had no real ball skill except for one with kind of a Three pronged French sounding name (he was like the qb and the wr's...damn good and all-around skilled). You all know that little cannonball (and he worked at it with that head coach).
You know him. The one everyone made fun of in the way he talked. You know, don't you? The one that actually told players "if you think that you have guaranteed rights to first-string starting positions because you are a 4-5 star out of heaven to this team, go sit on the bench or get ready to get your knuckles and earn your position."
We know the one. The one with no organizational skills for the alum's. You know him. The one that has just one heart beat for a team that plays with just one heart beat not 22 separate 5 stars that don't have the skill set to tote water jugs and gatorade.
Come oonnnn, you know the name...
Would that not be ironic?
The fans need to realize that he's not Saban DeBoer has his own style his own identity he has got be himself not be Saban
With respect to USC, it appears that the football team is struggling to remain in the top fifty (50), after they slipped out of the top twenty- five (25) with the loss to Penn State. That said , it’s time to move on in my humble opinion. If we look how SC handled disappointing performances of coaches, eg., firing Lane Kiffin on a tarmac when SC wasn’t anywhere in contention and it became painfully evident that SC would not be a playoff contender, it might be something to be reflected upon. As an alumni of SC, I would hope to see the program get back to the days when the Trojans were a force to contend with. That decision will rest with the people in charge of making major decisions for the university athletic programs. DRJDC
The “STANDARD” was Nick. Not bama.
True! Train Wreck!
Idiotic, ignorant and beyond foolish
Bama has left over players from Saban (Milroe, etc) who for various reasons are not able or willing to change. Too slack too sudden. NIL sucks, too.
The play calling has been off. Milrow usually has some deep play-action throws that heighten his confidence. He didn't have a single one against Tennessee. He wasn't able to run how he usually does too.
Maybe Coach Deboer should cancel the 🎉 ice cream truck after practice this week. That'll fix it.
They'll soon be calling Kalen Deboer, Kalen Dubose.
Until now all the people were saying how great he was
He should've known what he signed up for before taking the job This is not the West Coast this is SEC man he's gotta win and people want him to win now or else ur outta here This is the toughest conference in the nation
Paul back to his old ways
In all honesty. Those are still Sabans players Dabeor is coaching. Give him hes own QB to start with next year. Then criticize him. Milroe is running qb
They penalties where bad for both teams.
Bama should have hired from in house like OSU did when urban Meyer left.
Leave a team that played for the championship and then get fired after his first year and become OC....priceless.
We all knew Pawl was a Bama fan. He's now leaning into it.
They lost two road games by single scores. 🎻🎻🎻
According to Saban and Pawl (and their comments on Florida), this is on Bama fans. I don't make the rules. 😂
Saban didn't have a great staff last year, but they made it to the NCAA championship game, gtfo. Smh.
OK Paul....call for a ban of any post season play by Texas. Add to that make them play all of their 2025 SEC games on the road. Finally, get the SEC powers that be to impose felony endangerment charges on any fan throwing anything on the field in an SEC venue! You have the clout to do this!
Saban is undeniably the 🐐 for winning SEC and even getting to play for a Natty with Milroe at QB
Milroe has never been in a title game.
@@JohnMayernich U have no idea what your talking about😅😅 They beat GA for SEC Championship then went to playoffs and played for Nation Championship with Milroe less than a year ago dude
@@BlackConnection337no we didn’t play for a natty we lost to Michigan which kicked us out the natty discussion
@@Iewuz oh yeah u are right. I looked at Michigan vs Bama as Natty game😅 I stand corrected sir, I give u your W
@@BlackConnection337 Negative. Last year Bama never made the title game. They lost to Michigan in the 1st round. The year before that Georgia played TCU. The year before that Bryce Young was the QB for Bama when they lost to Georgia. So you must be laughing at yourself lol. On a scale from 1-10 how goofy do you feel?
Get over it, Alabama is being held up by the old guard. They are not the team you want us to see.
They are not a good team. Starting from the head coach and his staff. They can’t even the run the bowel. Please, change the quarter back. Stupid penalties.
I love reading the comments. All the tide fans think they know more than Kalen. Then why don’t you apply to be the coach at Alabama???
Sampson for Heisman ! Go BIG ORANGE
Paul thinks Missouri is a win for this Alabama team😂😂😂Alabama will be shredded by Missouri’s aggressive defense.
This Alabama team will lose AT LEAST 3 more losses, maybe 4.
