Brother I'm not an Alabama fan. I'm a Georgia fan , but man I completely agree with him. You can't do that bro if you want to be a leader on awesome program like alabama or georgia i get but come on young man no sir
Damien is one of the guys from the past that made Bama great!!! What he is saying is truthful and hard to swallow by the current regime. These new cats with NIL deals/ raised by their mothers are bratty, spoiled and emotional.
Whats up Mr. Harris. I was one of the flight attendants who carried the team to meet the President. Mad respect..always classy. Roll tide brother! You are right about Saban..he was serious even after winning the national championship
Damien is spitting facts. Accountability is what is missing. Old Bama teams under Saban held each other accountable. This team is just a bunch of guys trying to rack up stats and money. Zero leadership, zero guys to depend on and that’s not the makings of a championship team.
Ive been saying it all season, coaches and players being best buddies, player podcasts, so many player interviews, dancing and showing out in the endzone while getting beat, and partying at practice! THIS IS NOT THE BAMA STANDARD!!!
He's not Saban. There's only one Saban. The value and morals and accountability left with him. Deboer doesn’t have the status to pull off what Saban did with players.
yeah the morals of nick saban lmfao. it was great in the natty when Mekhi Brown punched a Georgia player and then came on the sideline and punched of his own coaches and then Saban proceeded to let him play the rest of the game
I honestly think that is what Malachi Moore was thinking too. I'm not excusing his behavior, but I think he was pissed that his teammates were half-assing it, or perhaps he knew the defenses being called were wrong. He's seen and been on Saban's defenses, and in 4 years he's never done anything like this. At the halftime of the GA game, Bama's D just simply quit, and Vandy rolled it.
Not a Bama fan, but Damien Harris - Thank you, thank you, thank you, for calling the behavior for what it was at 3:35. Unfortunately it's in every program. And yes you said it earlier in the interview - the "Look at me" attitude (0:54) -the swan song of the current American sports culture. And that is not the kids fault. It's the adults & coaches who allow it. Sadly, you are seeing the truth of Ecclesiastes 2:18-19 played out before you. "Thus I hated all the fruit of my labor for which I had labored under the sun, for I must leave it to the man who will come after me. And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will have control over all the fruit of my labor for which I have labored by acting wisely under the sun. This too is vanity."
That's for DANG sure, man. Take away "C" status, can't dress for SC game, run drills with asst. coach instead of practice for next 2 weeks, and then 2nd team until you've atoned to the coaches' satisfaction, at the bare minimum.
You cannot get a far west coast guy who can be thrown into East or Southeast culture and succeed at the same level. We are like two countries without a language barrier
In less than one year DeBoar has already torn down the standard at the University of Alabama. The Alabama football team has always shown class on the field whether it be a touchdown,a big play,or a big hit they would hand the ball to the officials and be ready for the next play. You never ever saw an Alabama player mouthing off to anyone.Period.This coaching staff does not have a clue to what this university stands for.You never saw dancing in the end zone. Now we have players dancing in the end zone when we are behind. That is pitiful. You coaches need to grow a set and discipline this team or get the hell out.
😅 Damien it’s the NIL deals, the diamond chains, the diamond grills, the dogs ain’t dogging. The teens are millionaires what do they have to play for. The defense is playing like trash but had the swag and drip around their necks like they were superstars. DeBoer has to stop letting these kids run his locker room.
Dumb it hasn’t ruined Texas or funny Vanderbilt for that matter. Sorry if you feel these players need to be put in their place and not make money while the schools take in multi million dollars a year from tv and ticket sales and jersey sales etc.
Get used to it people. College football has evolved into something entirely different and we know why. Players don't give a damn and it doesn't matter what college team you play for. Im just probably a small percentage of people who are done with all sports
I’m really worried now in this Kalen DeBoer era honestly. It’s obvious it’s way too loose nowadays they had way too much fun the week after that Georgia game. Wow the stories I heard when I seen 13-0 I wasn’t surprised and knew we would probably lose. The eyes on our guys are WIDE OPEN.
You are absolutely correct in your observation of what goes in Seattle does not go in T Town. I went to undergraduate school at the U of Oregon and I observed the culture even quite a few years ago that was then just ugly, shocking, and, vulgar in many ways. As the old song says, "I'll take my stand in Dixie to live and die in Dixie.." Our new Bama coach must adapt to what is expected in Alabama or his tenure in T Town will indeed be short. He is already seen as too weak, undiscipling of his players when they need it. Changes I believe must be urgently made by Coach Debar or he will not be the Bama coach for long.
This showed the team’s mentality when a guy off the bench got a 15 yard penalty for fighting with Ga at half time last week McVay got it and wasn’t even starting
They doing too much. Like what y’all want his blood? The dude apologized, it’s not like he’s a guy who habitually acts this way. The game got the best of him. And should cause what was we doing out there? His reaction was like many. Definitely wrong but now we move on. We all know Saban is the GOAT! Show some grace or NOT it’s still Roll Tide. We’ve lost a game before and we still gone LANK em every time. RollTide🐘🌊
The past 6 quarters almost 70 pts and 700 yds of offense and i said until the defense makes and adjustment they shouldnt be able to wear those uniforms its false advertisement
I dont care what he says his reason is or isn't..Saban seen the writing on the wall and that's why he eventually retired. Nick Saban the guy who upheld the very standards Damien Harris speaks of here had himself dramatically softened in his later years. He had to, these kids wouldnt react to his early style of hard nosed coaching. I dont know what people expected. You give 18 year old kids a bag of money and think they are going to grind for you. Give me a break. They talk big, say all the right things, but we all know they aren't hard anymore. They aren't built by Bama like these older players. One raised voice or not getting to be first string and they hit the transfer portal so fast it'll make your head spin. There has been a shift in the power dynamic that started even before Saban retired.The recruiting wasn't there anymore. Sure there were a lot of 5 stars, but how many WANTED to be there?. We have had offensive and defensive issues for years that just seem to NEVER get fixed. Subpar coaching staffs...list goes on..lets not act like we can blame all this on Coach Deboer or even these young kids..after all they simply dont know any better..I still think this will be an issue in college football for years to come.Also,for anyone who says well this team or that team isnt suffering..give it time..some of these schools just havent had the prima donnas and the big pocketbooks yet..success will attract high profile players and big payouts and teams who won off 3 or 4 stars who put in work will eventually start to decline..This ISNT an ALABAMA problem..this is a CFB problem that needs to be corrected now
Womack should have been fired before the wheels touched the ground in T-town sat night... He is clearly in way over his head with that 3-3-5 nonsense... And the lack of discipline appalling.
If Alabama could have gotten Dabo Swinney. Two championship wins against Bama, plus a Alabama player that helped his team win a national championship under Coach Gene Stallings.
History has proven.... every football program is only ONE good coaching hire away from rising to prominence such as Saban to Bama or Bob Stoops to Oklahoma or Sarc to Texas. Likewise, one bad coaching hire can send a prominent program down to the abyss of average or mediocrity after riding the top of the sport for years. Examples are plentiful of this such as Shula to Bama, everybody that took over Miami after Jimmy Johnson departed for the cowboys, Florida State after Bowden or Jimbo, or whoever took over at USC after Pete Carroll departed. Unfortunately, the bad hires may not be visible until after 3-4 years once the coach has his own players and the previous coach's' players have moved on. This can be seen when Erickson took over at Miami after Johnson departed. How are things over at Baylor right now? Yet the same can be said for good hires until he gets his own players. Take a look at Nebraska and what Rhule is doing by gradually building the program in year two. And lets not forget that just because a coach was successful at one program does not guarantee he will succeed at the next one, aka Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M as well as others. The jury is still out on Kalen but one can already see the differences in the program compared to what Saben left behind. What he does with respect to Moore will show A LOT. We shall see.🤔🤨
What a very thoughtful and wise insights, Sir. You expressed profound truths that must be heeded or we will see all that we love and cherished until Coaches Bear/Saban destroyed by a well meaning, but very weak coach when it comes to discipline/class that has always been so characteristic of Bama football for many years. Now is the time of decision for our new coach or I am afraid his time in T Town will be short!
Where was this outrage when an Alabama player punched a Georgia player at the end of a loss in the National Championship game and then when he got to the sidelines and tried to punch an assistant coach and Saban said NOTHING to him!?!?!?
@UntilSaturday I have been an Alabama fan since 1953. I hated when Coach Saban announced his retirement, but I know he was tired. And when Coach DeBore was announced the new head coach I was very excited because I knew he could win. But someone with the power please get him this message. Coach do not treat these players like they are your best friends, they are not. Please coach, get a grip on this team quickly. If not you are not going to have a team. As far as Malachi Moore, you need to sit him for at least 2 games. And if any of these players do not want to play for you, let them enter the portal. There are plenty of really good players who would love to play at the Great University of Alabama. I had rather see a squad who wants to be there and play the best to their ability than have the ability but not give a Schitt about how they play and no respect for themselves, their fellow players, their coaches and the school.
I get the emotions especially when this is a game you should’ve won by at least 20. Not to make excuses this is still definitely embarrassing, hope they all live and learn from this one.
how about learn not to stoop so low? CFB is changed for good. the whole incentive structure is different for these teams. we’re gonna see a lot of ugly stuff that’s unorthodox. i see players leaving teams for more money through NIL in the future and the transfer portal becoming a nightmare. NIL was rushed too fast, soo many players are now out there for money, not for the love of the game, their own team, or aspirations for the NFL.
I think it also has to do with social media making fun of Bama too. All the pressure the players have on them and Malachi is just fed up. I'd be surprised if he doesn't transfer
@@DeadlyBeast205 Yeah that seems like the rational thing honestly. If he really hates his team, he should honestly be cut or already transferred. He obviously doesn't fit and needs to go somewhere else for his own potential's sake.
@@DeadlyBeast205 the eyes watch Kalen just dying to see what he’ll do next, if he’ll change his mind, grow a pair, and instill some honor, pride, and professionalism in the players.
Lack of respect for authority when he waved off his sitting coach for him to get off the field. What in the world do we do?……… it’s like we can’t see anything positive ahead.
Moore should be suspended minimum one game. Inexcusable behavior for an Alabama graduate. He represents not only Alabama football, but the University of Alabama. Discipline wins.
I recall the fan base singing Deboers praises all off season into last Saturday in Tuscaloosa. Now, since they lost and pitched a fit, it’s Deboer has no discipline and his staff gotta go. Folks need to be honest. The discipline issue been going on all season.
All due respect to my brother Damien Harris. He is not NICK SABAN! So the comparison is not needed Respect Kalen Deboer approach because he has came from several winning programs. What don’t work for you or the old teams does not mean it can’t work for future teams to come. College football is not the same when you were playing the game. Change is inevitable! Adjust or get left! You all praising Nick Saban and the goat deserves it but don’t sit here and act like Alabama was not on a decline in the past few yrs. He was also winning close games you expected Alabama to win! So why you didn’t get on Nick Saban case???!!! The game has changed. Respect to you Damien Harris! #RTR
Why are we acting like.. his action changed the outcome of the game. If you noticed he was addressing his team the whole entire time he was throwing a temper tantrum.
When bama was rolling up the wins with similar behavior people were ranting roll tide this and that and soon as bama win their next game the same people complaining now will be screaming roll tife again
I wonder what Nick Saban thinks about Malachi Moore's tantrum? if this had happened during his tenure, I believe Nick Saban would have benched Moore for the next game, DeBoer needs to nip this kind of thing in the bud, now not later NOW.
This will be the hour of decision for DeBoar in regards to discipline/focus of his team or I believe he will not be the coach at Bama long. The Bama faithful will not permit the house that Bear and Saban built to be destroyed. DeBoar needs to immediately put his football house in good order or the consequences of the type of behavior/conduct we have seen of late will destroy the program as we suffer one loss after another. It is like living in a nightmare with our leadership that we do not see in our new coach, sadly, as the Bama faithful expected much better.
DH keeping it REAL!!! VERY well said! KD seemingly appears to care more about being friends with the players than coaching & mentoring them! He had an incredible opportunity to send a message to the team & MM yet, he decides to defend MM’s actions..! He essentially just told the team they can do whatever they want from an ego perspective & won’t be held accountable! SMH!!! RTR!!!
It’s been several times players have act up under Saban leadership, so my guy you was a former bama player so you should know this.. it was just one incident during the rose bowl that happened
While I understand his take on the matter, I humbly think Damien Harris's approach here is weak. If the Bama Standard is to truly be upheld, Damien Harris should be there in Tuscaloosa talking to these kids, not whining to the media. Yes, Malachi Moore was wrong, but he did show contrition. I do hope the Bama players and coaches can get themselves together and keep the Tide rolling. Roll Damn Tide!
ALL THE REDICULOUS DANCING, HAS TO STOP, WHEN YOUR GETTING YOUR ASS WHOOPED THE WHOLE GAME, AND NEVER LED, THAT IS A INDIVIDUAL ACT, AND IT HAS NO PLACE ON TEAM SPORT, IF YOU WANT TO DANCE, DANCE AFTER THE GAME!!!!
Damien Harris is full of it. I watched Alabama teams that he was a part of gouging eyes and punching opposing players in the groin during games. Nobody was penalized. Nobody said anything. That's because of the SEC's "Saban Rules". What about in 2018 when Alabama linebacker Mekhi Brown punched a Georgia player in the face and then attacked an Alabama assistant coach on the sidelines? Are you just conveniently forgetting about that? Or all the Alabama player arrests for driving while in possession of drugs and guns? Quit acting like Malachi Moore's behavior was brand new to Alabama or to college football as a whole.
@@offdacorner Gaslighting?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 What truth? Yeah Bama like ANY other team play the same way... what the problem is attitude and getting away with it - didn't happen in the past. Sure we had a few episodes, but they paid for their transgressions. We'll see if Moore does... ADS is contagious, so go get some help.
@@OFCgamevids Alabama's "standard" is no different than any other big time college football program. The only reason anybody is talking about Malachi Moore's behavior is because they lost to Vanderbilt.
I like what Damien said, he is correct. I know that The Target Rule is for Safety, but it takes a lot away from the defense. These kids are Scared to hit now fearing they will be tossed and can't paly the next game. Just a different look at this. These kids are different.
Malachi Moore already apologized and this guy is still persecuting him calling him immature and inept. I am rooting for Malachi Moore and his apology is not enough to these men. These men will continue to live in the past and bash..instead of understanding people make mistakes.
Naw Malachi thought he could get away with acting stupid. Damien’s Bama teams didn’t act stupid. They didn’t have $20,000 chains and can’t even make a f***ing tackle
It’s a new era Damian. This is why Saban retired. This attitude was at Bama when Saban was there. Remember, Malachi is Saban’s guy. Saban’s last Natty was 2020. Clearly things were different and Saban knew it. That old Bama and the way things were are gone. NIL and transfer portal has changed everything. If Damian coached this Bama team himself, he will see why Saban left.
It was immature at best and just plain sorry at worst the defense got their shit pushed in by vandy so i kinda get it but throwing a tantrum doesnt help its what can i do to be a better leader to where we can be in a better position to be a better team in the modern age of college football theres too many i's and not enough we's im not against the kids making money im against the what its turned into which is pay for play and a bunch of individuals running around who has more money than sense and you cant tell them nothing neither
Dudes, all is good. They messed w the turf, the atomoshphere was pathetic, the calls were against us, they hit 12-18 third down conversions, hit a fricken lucky 4th and 1 TD pass (barely)! The world was telling us how wonderful we are…it’s on! We are good and we are after it. So, RMFT! We run the table. B

I had been saying i thought the biggest difference between nick and kalen is that nick won the games he was supposed to and i said for kalen to make it here he was gonna have to do that
Damien I am a HUGE fan of yours and of THE TIDE. I agree the Malachi screwed up. That's NOT up for debate. But, I disagree wholeheartedly your opinion that Coach Saban's way is the ONLY way. Also, that Coach Deboer lowered the standard and BAMA is like every other program now. Where was that talk the week before when BAMA beat Georgia? You are an esteemed Alumnus of the program....why do you NOT know Malachi? Are you still involved with the program? What's the use of putting more players in the league than anyone else if those NFL guys aren't reaching back into the program and supporting those current players and coaches? BAMA is FAMILY. I you have a problem with your little brother, go to him and help him correct it. DON'T blast him on the evening news. That doesn't help him....that doesn't help the program. Much RESPECT for you and your accomplishments....but I disagree with how you handled this.
As a miami fan. Jimmy Johnson was strict like Nick Sabin. Then Dennis Erickson came in and he was more loose and relaxed and let the players have fun. He won 2 titles. Yall need to Relax bro. After we lost to Byu when we were number 1 i thought the world was iver but we still won
I feel you Damien but you played on OFFENSE with Kiffin, Brian DaBoll, and Locksley! Then had both Jeremy Pruitt and Nick Saban on the opposite side of the ball on top of that DEFENSE being one of the best in history and damn near had 22 starters on defense by how good they were! You can’t tell Moore how to handle embarrassment when they’ve had to downgrade from green grass with Saban and Kevin Steele to tumbleweed Kane Wommack giving up a 40 ball to Vandy. No disrespect to Vandy’s growth but that shouldn’t have happened on defense especially after last week and being ranked 1st. That was pathetic! No shit, y’all wouldn’t have done that under Saban because Saban would’ve never lost that game in the first place, especially after beating Georgia so all of that talk is pointless since these kids have Wommack from South Alabama running the Defense now
And to go alone with that Nick Saban help make you all great men players and leaders. Over 60 players from Alabama in the league and more that was in the league that’s no longer in the league. How many of you all are going back to visit Alabama to pour into these kids and this program? How many of you all has donated to the NIL era? Why don’t none of these kids no you personally? Because my opinion once you all made it many of you all never looked back. Only a hand full of players stay around the program in some type of capacity. The standard don’t end once you leave bama the standard is your life. Go to Tucaloosa and talk to these young bulls. And I don’t care what team it is that came thru bama every team had a knuckle head or player that lost his cool. I still remember the young man that tried to fight the coach on the side line. It happens. He issued a apology he will learn from it don’t condemn him and let’s move on and find a better way to improve and get better it’s a 12 team playoff so we still have an opportunity reach our goals. #RTR
Damian I respect your thought but this is a different kind of athlete today. This is why Nick Saban isn’t there anymore. Find me a hard ass coach in college football. Kirby? I can’t name many. It is now all about pampering athletes and trying to keep them from leaving. Hell a defensive lineman left this week.
No class! Like the multiple times Bama players made tackles then stood over the V player flexing and staring down at them. Also, what in the F was that squat, hip thrusting dance Milroe and 2 others did after his rushing TD, not to mention while still losing on scoreboard. Smh
Thank you Damien Harris for being so brutally honest you said it all and what needed to be said for that I tip my hat to you roll tide roll !
Brother I'm not an Alabama fan. I'm a Georgia fan , but man I completely agree with him. You can't do that bro if you want to be a leader on awesome program like alabama or georgia i get but come on young man no sir

Yeah impressive voice
Coach Saban said, "You have the best talent in the country, but if you don't know how to move the chess pieces, you're going to lose".
Ive been saying it all season, coaches and players being best buddies, player podcasts, so many player interviews, dancing and showing out in the endzone while getting beat, and partying at practice! THIS IS NOT THE BAMA STANDARD!!!
He's not Saban. There's only one Saban. The value and morals and accountability left with him. Deboer doesn’t have the status to pull off what Saban did with players.

I really hope Bama players and coaching staff watch this! Get control now and get back to this as a "business" mentality.

Sounds like Damien needs to swing by Tuscaloosa and have a chat with the team. Saban is gone but the team may be lacking that Alabama Pride

You are absolutely correct in your observation of what goes in Seattle does not go in T Town.

He had better get tougher, more discipline on his players/program are his days in T Town are numbered!
I’m UGA fan I never seen any player from Bama team act like that under coach Saban
Womack should have been fired before the wheels touched the ground in T-town sat night... He is clearly in way over his head with that 3-3-5 nonsense... And the lack of discipline appalling.
Preach, DH!
If Alabama could have gotten Dabo Swinney. Two championship wins against Bama, plus a Alabama player that helped his team win a national championship under Coach Gene Stallings.
History has proven.... every football program is only ONE good coaching hire away from rising to prominence such as Saban to Bama or Bob Stoops to Oklahoma or Sarc to Texas. Likewise, one bad coaching hire can send a prominent program down to the abyss of average or mediocrity after riding the top of the sport for years. Examples are plentiful of this such as Shula to Bama, everybody that took over Miami after Jimmy Johnson departed for the cowboys, Florida State after Bowden or Jimbo, or whoever took over at USC after Pete Carroll departed. Unfortunately, the bad hires may not be visible until after 3-4 years once the coach has his own players and the previous coach's' players have moved on. This can be seen when Erickson took over at Miami after Johnson departed. How are things over at Baylor right now? Yet the same can be said for good hires until he gets his own players. Take a look at Nebraska and what Rhule is doing by gradually building the program in year two. And lets not forget that just because a coach was successful at one program does not guarantee he will succeed at the next one, aka Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M as well as others. The jury is still out on Kalen but one can already see the differences in the program compared to what Saben left behind. What he does with respect to Moore will show A LOT. We shall see.🤔🤨
What a very thoughtful and wise insights, Sir. You expressed profound truths that must be heeded or we will see all that we love and cherished until Coaches Bear/Saban destroyed by a well meaning, but very weak coach when it comes to discipline/class that has always been so characteristic of Bama football for many years. Now is the time of decision for our new coach or I am afraid his time in T Town will be short!
It is not about Alabama tradition or Yea Alabama! That is why Nick is gone. It is about Mammon! The dollar god! Roll Tide!
You could tell the team didn’t respect Vendy at all. The team should’ve learned after all that time with Nick not to lover look ANYBODY
Where was this outrage when an Alabama player punched a Georgia player at the end of a loss in the National Championship game and then when he got to the sidelines and tried to punch an assistant coach and Saban said NOTHING to him!?!?!?
@UntilSaturday
I have been an Alabama fan since 1953. I hated when Coach Saban announced his retirement, but I know he was tired. And when Coach DeBore was announced the new head coach I was very excited because I knew he could win. But someone with the power please get him this message.
Coach do not treat these players like they are your best friends, they are not.
Please coach, get a grip on this team quickly. If not you are not going to have a team. As far as Malachi Moore, you need to sit him for at least 2 games.
And if any of these players do not want to play for you, let them enter the portal. There are plenty of really good players who would love to play at the Great University of Alabama. I had rather see a squad who wants to be there and play the best to their ability than have the ability but not give a Schitt about how they play and no respect for themselves, their fellow players, their coaches and the school.
An absolutely great commentary. Thank you for your insights about Bama as I agree completely with your comments.
I get the emotions especially when this is a game you should’ve won by at least 20. Not to make excuses this is still definitely embarrassing, hope they all live and learn from this one.
how about learn not to stoop so low?
CFB is changed for good.
the whole incentive structure is different for these teams. we’re gonna see a lot of ugly stuff that’s unorthodox.
i see players leaving teams for more money through NIL in the future and the transfer portal becoming a nightmare.
NIL was rushed too fast, soo many players are now out there for money, not for the love of the game, their own team, or aspirations for the NFL.
I think it also has to do with social media making fun of Bama too. All the pressure the players have on them and Malachi is just fed up. I'd be surprised if he doesn't transfer
@@DeadlyBeast205 Yeah that seems like the rational thing honestly. If he really hates his team, he should honestly be cut or already transferred. He obviously doesn't fit and needs to go somewhere else for his own potential's sake.
@@Mich-jk2ze yep
@@DeadlyBeast205 the eyes watch Kalen just dying to see what he’ll do next, if he’ll change his mind, grow a pair, and instill some honor, pride, and professionalism in the players.
Lack of respect for authority when he waved off his sitting coach for him to get off the field. What in the world do we do?……… it’s like we can’t see anything positive ahead.
Moore should be suspended minimum one game. Inexcusable behavior for an Alabama graduate. He represents not only Alabama football, but the University of Alabama. Discipline wins.
Thank you 🙏🏿 Damien Harris and the entire crew . Keep up the great work 👍🏿👏🏿
In a way, I feel like Bama has gone back to the Mike Shula days.
When you go play Pavia bawl, you gotta respect Mr. Pavia.
I recall the fan base singing Deboers praises all off season into last Saturday in Tuscaloosa. Now, since they lost and pitched a fit, it’s Deboer has no discipline and his staff gotta go. Folks need to be honest. The discipline issue been going on all season.
He looked like a preschooler,so sad integrity has been lost forever in this country.
Kalen Deboer is another Mike Dubose
All due respect to my brother Damien Harris. He is not NICK SABAN! So the comparison is not needed Respect Kalen Deboer approach because he has came from several winning programs. What don’t work for you or the old teams does not mean it can’t work for future teams to come. College football is not the same when you were playing the game. Change is inevitable! Adjust or get left! You all praising Nick Saban and the goat deserves it but don’t sit here and act like Alabama was not on a decline in the past few yrs. He was also winning close games you expected Alabama to win! So why you didn’t get on Nick Saban case???!!! The game has changed. Respect to you Damien Harris! #RTR
Why are we acting like.. his action changed the outcome of the game. If you noticed he was addressing his team the whole entire time he was throwing a temper tantrum.
Saban always said that it was a PRIVILEGE to be the at Bama.
When bama was rolling up the wins with similar behavior people were ranting roll tide this and that and soon as bama win their next game the same people complaining now will be screaming roll tife again
I wonder what Nick Saban thinks about Malachi Moore's tantrum? if this had happened during his tenure, I believe Nick Saban would have benched Moore for the next game, DeBoer needs to nip this kind of thing in the bud, now not later NOW.
Nick ain't here anymore!!¡!
This will be the hour of decision for DeBoar in regards to discipline/focus of his team or I believe he will not be the coach at Bama long. The Bama faithful will not permit the house that Bear and Saban built to be destroyed. DeBoar needs to immediately put his football house in good order or the consequences of the type of behavior/conduct we have seen of late will destroy the program as we suffer one loss after another. It is like living in a nightmare with our leadership that we do not see in our new coach, sadly, as the Bama faithful expected much better.
Thank you sir. Exactly what real men do, as you so eloquently stated! Its character Damien is Correct! 💯
Preach!!!!
17 plays and a touchdown on the 17th. THAT is THE problem.
DH keeping it REAL!!! VERY well said! KD seemingly appears to care more about being friends with the players than coaching & mentoring them! He had an incredible opportunity to send a message to the team & MM yet, he decides to defend MM’s actions..! He essentially just told the team they can do whatever they want from an ego perspective & won’t be held accountable! SMH!!! RTR!!!
It’s been several times players have act up under Saban leadership, so my guy you was a former bama player so you should know this.. it was just one incident during the rose bowl that happened
Amen, well said
While I understand his take on the matter, I humbly think Damien Harris's approach here is weak. If the Bama Standard is to truly be upheld, Damien Harris should be there in Tuscaloosa talking to these kids, not whining to the media. Yes, Malachi Moore was wrong, but he did show contrition. I do hope the Bama players and coaches can get themselves together and keep the Tide rolling. Roll Damn Tide!
ALL THE REDICULOUS DANCING, HAS TO STOP, WHEN YOUR GETTING YOUR ASS WHOOPED THE WHOLE GAME, AND NEVER LED, THAT IS A INDIVIDUAL ACT, AND IT HAS NO PLACE ON TEAM SPORT, IF YOU WANT TO DANCE, DANCE AFTER THE GAME!!!!
Damien Harris is full of it. I watched Alabama teams that he was a part of gouging eyes and punching opposing players in the groin during games. Nobody was penalized. Nobody said anything. That's because of the SEC's "Saban Rules".
What about in 2018 when Alabama linebacker Mekhi Brown punched a Georgia player in the face and then attacked an Alabama assistant coach on the sidelines? Are you just conveniently forgetting about that? Or all the Alabama player arrests for driving while in possession of drugs and guns? Quit acting like Malachi Moore's behavior was brand new to Alabama or to college football as a whole.
4/5 star athlete's can understand they are only ranked by number they aren't the best.
ADS ------- (ALABAMA DERANGEMENT SYNDROME)
@@OFCgamevids You're gaslighting because you can't refute the truth.
@@offdacorner Gaslighting?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 What truth? Yeah Bama like ANY other team play the same way... what the problem is attitude and getting away with it - didn't happen in the past. Sure we had a few episodes, but they paid for their transgressions. We'll see if Moore does... ADS is contagious, so go get some help.
@@OFCgamevids Alabama's "standard" is no different than any other big time college football program. The only reason anybody is talking about Malachi Moore's behavior is because they lost to Vanderbilt.
He almost lost to GA who spotted Bama 28 points and came back to lead requiring yet another ridiculous improbable play to win
I like what Damien said, he is correct. I know that The Target Rule is for Safety, but it takes a lot away from the defense. These kids are Scared to hit now fearing they will be tossed and can't paly the next game. Just a different look at this. These kids are different.
Good job!
Malachi Moore already apologized and this guy is still persecuting him calling him immature and inept. I am rooting for Malachi Moore and his apology is not enough to these men. These men will continue to live in the past and bash..instead of understanding people make mistakes.
Naw Malachi thought he could get away with acting stupid. Damien’s Bama teams didn’t act stupid. They didn’t have $20,000 chains and can’t even make a f***ing tackle
Illogical
Jesus Christ is trying to get them to Stand Up for him. The Lord is refining them in the fire 🔥
m moore is a punk
It’s a new era Damian. This is why Saban retired. This attitude was at Bama when Saban was there. Remember, Malachi is Saban’s guy. Saban’s last Natty was 2020. Clearly things were different and Saban knew it. That old Bama and the way things were are gone. NIL and transfer portal has changed everything. If Damian coached this Bama team himself, he will see why Saban left.
BAMA 2021 recruiting class singlehandedly killing BAMA repetition
As a Alabama fan for years , this is unexpectable. His arse would had been kicked off the team, who cares if he is a senior top player on defense
It was immature at best and just plain sorry at worst the defense got their shit pushed in by vandy so i kinda get it but throwing a tantrum doesnt help its what can i do to be a better leader to where we can be in a better position to be a better team in the modern age of college football theres too many i's and not enough we's im not against the kids making money im against the what its turned into which is pay for play and a bunch of individuals running around who has more money than sense and you cant tell them nothing neither
Bama has a Mike Shula that can recruit. Convince me otherwise
Dudes, all is good. They messed w the turf, the atomoshphere was pathetic, the calls were against us, they hit 12-18 third down conversions, hit a fricken lucky 4th and 1 TD pass (barely)! The world was telling us how wonderful we are…it’s on! We are good and we are after it. So, RMFT! We run the table. B
On your marks get set “Terrible”
Dude your uga what u talking ab ?
he's somewhat overreacting.....its 1 game, but it was Vandy lmao

I had been saying i thought the biggest difference between nick and kalen is that nick won the games he was supposed to and i said for kalen to make it here he was gonna have to do that
FYI no Bama player can say they lost to Vandi in the 20 years. He should be a new level pissed
Damien I am a HUGE fan of yours and of THE TIDE. I agree the Malachi screwed up. That's NOT up for debate. But, I disagree wholeheartedly your opinion that Coach Saban's way is the ONLY way. Also, that Coach Deboer lowered the standard and BAMA is like every other program now. Where was that talk the week before when BAMA beat Georgia? You are an esteemed Alumnus of the program....why do you NOT know Malachi? Are you still involved with the program? What's the use of putting more players in the league than anyone else if those NFL guys aren't reaching back into the program and supporting those current players and coaches? BAMA is FAMILY. I you have a problem with your little brother, go to him and help him correct it. DON'T blast him on the evening news. That doesn't help him....that doesn't help the program. Much RESPECT for you and your accomplishments....but I disagree with how you handled this.
Wow 💯💯💯
As a miami fan. Jimmy Johnson was strict like Nick Sabin. Then Dennis Erickson came in and he was more loose and relaxed and let the players have fun. He won 2 titles. Yall need to Relax bro. After we lost to Byu when we were number 1 i thought the world was iver but we still won
Oh no everyone else can pay their players too now. Saban splits for that reason. Bamas party is over. Their is mo money in Nashville. Anchor Down
🐘
Plzzzzzz send this to the dam coaches on the team
22 on D is also a ball kicker.
Pandemic Champs
I feel you Damien but you played on OFFENSE with Kiffin, Brian DaBoll, and Locksley! Then had both Jeremy Pruitt and Nick Saban on the opposite side of the ball on top of that DEFENSE being one of the best in history and damn near had 22 starters on defense by how good they were! You can’t tell Moore how to handle embarrassment when they’ve had to downgrade from green grass with Saban and Kevin Steele to tumbleweed Kane Wommack giving up a 40 ball to Vandy. No disrespect to Vandy’s growth but that shouldn’t have happened on defense especially after last week and being ranked 1st. That was pathetic! No shit, y’all wouldn’t have done that under Saban because Saban would’ve never lost that game in the first place, especially after beating Georgia so all of that talk is pointless since these kids have Wommack from South Alabama running the Defense now
And to go alone with that Nick Saban help make you all great men players and leaders. Over 60 players from Alabama in the league and more that was in the league that’s no longer in the league. How many of you all are going back to visit Alabama to pour into these kids and this program? How many of you all has donated to the NIL era? Why don’t none of these kids no you personally? Because my opinion once you all made it many of you all never looked back. Only a hand full of players stay around the program in some type of capacity. The standard don’t end once you leave bama the standard is your life. Go to Tucaloosa and talk to these young bulls. And I don’t care what team it is that came thru bama every team had a knuckle head or player that lost his cool. I still remember the young man that tried to fight the coach on the side line. It happens. He issued a apology he will learn from it don’t condemn him and let’s move on and find a better way to improve and get better it’s a 12 team playoff so we still have an opportunity reach our goals. #RTR
I bet he wouldn’t have done that if nick was there
Everything your saying is so true
The beginning of the end.. recruits may start decommitting and players may hit the portal
Damian I respect your thought but this is a different kind of athlete today. This is why Nick Saban isn’t there anymore. Find me a hard ass coach in college football. Kirby? I can’t name many. It is now all about pampering athletes and trying to keep them from leaving. Hell a defensive lineman left this week.
Harris that’s BS…. Moore showed his emotions cause he knows Bama is about everything you’re saying… not because he thought he was better
AMEN!
No class! Like the multiple times Bama players made tackles then stood over the V player flexing and staring down at them. Also, what in the F was that squat, hip thrusting dance Milroe and 2 others did after his rushing TD, not to mention while still losing on scoreboard. Smh
