Not gonna happen. Every single press conference includes Ed talking about how we need to beat Bama.

Coach O has won me over, but if I'm a player and hes constantly talking about the need to beat Alabama, then I'm feeling a lot of pressure come November.

Ed is too honest sometimes. Just another game, just another week. It's not, of course. But you're right. It should be treated as such.

Yes, but that has to be consistently echoed, and your play has to reflect that. It can't just be lip service.

For instance, us going "vanilla" vs Ga Sou would not be consistent with us taking the game as seriously as we do Bama.

He states it because it’s all he hears and gets asked about it often. He’s said it’s like any week. A lot of Sec coaches especially in the West know and say they gotta best bama. Miles is the one who put too much pressure on his team because he was almost obsessed with beating Saban. The “ we coming “ quote after the loss when O said that became a popular meme. I think O knows that he needs to calm his team down bama week. It would help if so many fans in the state didn’t obsess about it and mention it 1000xs a year to players and staff.

Well that would make sense because there is a lot of pressure to beat Bama. The road to every goal we have this year is going to run right thru Tuscaloosa! No need to hide it, all the players know that!

This exactly. Putting so much emphasis on one game is a lose-lose situation. If you lose, the players begin to check out because the failed their big goal for the season. If you win, the players feel like they've completed their big goal, and wind down.

Feels like this happens to a lot of teams.

That’s why Saban’s approach is so successful. He preaches focus on the process of executing and getting better until you become the best you can be. He doesn’t let the players put their focus on big games, or championships or results. Just focus on doing your job in practice and in games whether your team is up or down. That’s where the consistency comes from. A person who is motivated to become the best version of themselves will naturally rise to the occasion when tested.

Well we have to be honest with ourselves as fans we blow this game out of proportion which ads lots of media pressure as well. Those who think players don’t read this shite are not paying attention to the real world.
