Bro... recruiting isn't a thing anymore.

The most important things are:

1A. Money
1B. Good coaches
1C. Talent evals, especially on portal players

What do you call a gigantic pile of cats ?























A Meowtain. : )

Pruitt one of the best talent evaluators Bama has ever had. Its a talent/skill same as any other, and Pruitt is one of the best.

Also, having a "strong personality" in the locker room would be very beneficial for this team. Currently there is a void.

If we had hired Kiffin, we'd be coming off a 9-3 regular season

What are you talking about ? Kiffin built a team that nearly made the title game at Ole Miss. They lost in a competitive game in the 4th quarter with Lane not even there to help with the playcalling.

Meanwhile DeBoer was getting his arse handed to him while being a life champion

Yeah its sad... I think most people's idea of reading now is text slang. After two or three sentences their attention span is shot

Well played, Sir.

Coach Cig: 26-2 Notable achievements: 16-0 National Title, Heisman winner, Conference Championship

Synopsis:

He plundered the portal, and used Sabans formula to build a contender... at Indiana. One of the worst football programs in history. He turned them into the most physical team in the country dominating both sides of the LOS throughout his two seasons there, and showing remarkable discipline in all phases of the game. Special teams, defense, offense are all coached and executing at a high level... to a Championship level. Comes across as highly cerebral, calculated, and isn't afraid to make the big calls. Clearly soaked up as much as he could while working with the GOAT Nick Saban. He speaks bluntly, candidly, and offers an honest opinion that is usually insightful, educational, and even entertaining. Elite evaluator of both coaches and players.


Coach K DeBoer: 20-8, notable achievements: lost to 4 unranked teams, suffered the most blowout losses by an Alabama coach since Coach Dubose, Beat Georgia in the regular season, made a 12 team playoff

Synopsis:

Took over Americas top program, and immediately turned his back on former HC Nick Sabans formula of success to implement his own guru "semi-air raid," brand of football. Within two short years built a team so soft that they couldn't run for more than 1 yard without a gadget play. Known for leading his team out of the tunnel "sleep walking." No clear game plan, or in game adjustments. Twice slapped a goal post in a cringy way to show how "fired up" he was, only to get brains beat out the second time around. When interviewed says nothing of substance, sounds like broken record, makes excuses and says things like "we're really close" after being annihilated by legit football teams.

Watching Indiana play last night was like watching Alabama circa 2008-2011. Interestingly those were the years minus '11 that Coach Cig was an Alabama assistant under Nick Saban.

Coach Cig has now proven without any doubt that its no longer a "need time to find his players," or needs to be given 4 years to "build his team" environment. Nope, good coaching, good evals, and portal utilization can build a title contender in a year or two.

Watch Kiffin build a title contender in 1-2 years max at LSU. Meanwhile I expect DeBoer to continue at his 3-4 losses a year pace, lose to teams he shouldn't, and get blown completely TF off the field once or twice a year.

I have no idea exactly what it is Alabama fans like about Kaylen DeBoer ? So many come to his rescue and plead his case, but I dont see it.

I hope this message doesn't hurt anyones feelings. I know the world is all about not hurting anyones feelings these days.

Strange but I think paying the college players has increased the popularity of the NFL.

Agreed.

Its even worse for Bama fans because we went from having the GOAT HC that said something interesting, motivating, insightful, etc every time he took the podium to now this feckless tumbling dickweed of a HC that never says anything worth listening to. Why tune in anymore ?

Less interesting all around- I have no idea whos even on the roster right now. I could give you the 2 deep, and where they were from ever since I was a kid. Ive never been this out of touch with the program.

Nothing last forever I suppose.

The GREED and how quickly they moved once they got the door cracked should frighten people. Nothing is safe. If "they" want it they'll get it.

Look at the prices of homes in America for example... as soon as hedge funds started buying homes after the 2008 crash it was only about 10 years later that housing became unattainable for normal families.

Point being everything "American" is being sold out from under Americans.

Thomas Jefferson called it-

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies," and fearing that "corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered".

Mad respect for his toughness but why was he playing?

So DeBoer could make Ty a scapegoat, and nobody would figure out that he hasn't developed Mack in three years.

It's the only logical conclusion.

At what point does a coach not step in and say, “son, you’re a tough son of bitch, but you’re not helping your team.”

Good question for the DeBoer fanboys...

It’s people stuck in a bubble who can’t see that the bubble has popped and the world is different.

---

Every team left in the playoff a round ago were all from the Saban Tree. Every one of them except..., you guessed it Bama.

How is that a "bubble pop" or a different world ?

I'll say it again just the same as the Bear said it - "the same things win that always won." The teams that win it all will be tough, and ready to brawl in the trenches.

Sabans 08 team was a mix of inherited 3 stars sprinkled with a couple five stars, and those boys showed up and MAULED people in the trenches. Andre Smith, Mike Johnson, and Glen Coffee - EVERYONE in the staduim knew we were gonna run left and NOBODY could stop it.

Those boys damn near beat one of Floridas best teams ever led by Urban and Tebow. The 09 team came right back with that game circled and curb stomped the shite outta the best team UF has ever fielded.

People want a clone of Nick Saban

No, people want a coach that knows the same things win that always won.

I wonder what DeBoer and Grubb would have dreamed up to F-up Bryce.

Kid was a baller. Wins a title if we keep Jamo and Metch

Alabama had -7 yards rushing vs Georgia. Negative 7

Alabama if you remove Daniel Hills ONE explosive play of 30 yards Bama had -2 yards vs Oklahoma

Alabama had 23 yards rushing vs Indiana

So... minus Daniel Hills one explosive 30 yard run Alabama had 14 yards rushing in the last 12 quarters of football.

Simple math will tell you that's less than 2 yards rushing per quarter in the last three games of the year.

S O F T !

Which is exactly what Kiffin has done better than any coach in the SEC. Find a way to hate on that fact Kiffin haters.
