re: The myth of the great recruiting classes of the past

You obviously have reading comprehension deficiencies....no one said that

Saban could not beat ULM....

And at the time he got a lot of crap for it, including a billboard.

I’m not saying he’s a bad coach....I’m saying, both coaches, when dealt the hand they were given—failed against supposed weaker competition in their first year coaching at said school...

The hand they were dealt includes the teams they were leading, the expectations, and their skills. Not just the opponent. O is judged harsher because he has less experience, less facts to back up progress or output, and less stature overall. It's that simple.

You literally can't judge them the same way.

Give coach O a damn chance

---

I don't understand why people have to "give O a chance." He's had 1.5 years, and all evidence out there supports him being a, at best, mediocre coach.

Especially if "giving him a chance" equates to "giving him time," which was not the sell of hiring coach O. It was a "win now" hire, because that's the only way it made sense.

saban didnt have 52 4 and 5 star players at bama in 2007. O does.

south alabam manhandled Troy's dline. are you saying o cant coach up 4 star oline backups to beat a bunch of dline players that south alabama pushed around?

.how many yards did Fournette get against Bama?

Yikes!! Can't defend this.

Yikes!! Can't defend this

yeah lets dismiss 12 other games so we can shite on lsu players. its pathetic.

With a brand new offense....yes I am saying that.....

It’s what happens when you don’t have experience or size and strength....

I was talking about Miles teams a few years back not last years team....Miles teams ran up the yards against inferior defense....but sense all we had was a run game....Bama beat us because Saban designed his defense to stop a run only team and pass happy teams too for that matter

Yes. Because it is only average to people with no sports knowledge, as yourself.

They may have been labeled as four stars but they didn’t execute like they were....they were weak.....

Probably because they were freshmen....that might have something to do with it

it was this thread and i listed them and he changed it to how many will be starters


troy doesn't have a single player with a draft grade. they have had 1 player drafted since 2012

I don’t know how you do it Rick. I can’t stand to post more than one or two responses to these guys before I just get fed up and log out. You keep fighting the good fight man
