That was before the scholarship limits really kicked Alabama’s arse.

That team went 10-3, should’ve been in Atlanta and ended the season with a regular season game in Hawaii because of the bullshite.
In their peanut brains Fournette is better.

Post stats, not blind links
I won’t. I refuse to vote for a candidate that is too scared to debate.

Doug Jones is flawed but he would run circles around Coach Tubbs.

I trust Russell more than I trust the defense.

The defense can be elite but the defense has shown reason for concern.

This isn't even remotely true. Were you even following SEC football in 2007-09? Yeah, Saban needed the senior cancers he inherited to leave. But this is the talent Shula recruited and left Saban:

All American and first round pick OT Andre Smith.
All American C Antoine Caldwell
All American OG Mike Johnson
All American S Rashad Johnson
All American PK Leigh Tiffin
All American DB/PR Javier Arenas
All SEC RB Glen Coffee

As well as other starters on the 2009 NC team. John Parker Wilson ended up being a perfectly decent QB who was one quarter away from playing for and probably winning a national championship in 2008.

The notion that Saban took over a team with little to no talent is utterly absurd.


This is a damn good post. 2006 Alabama didn’t get blown out in any game. The team had talent but Shula and the assistants failed to get the most out of it.

Shula was 26-23 under impossible circumstances. It’s why I hope to see the day he’s paid his respect at Bryant Denny. He took the job when no one else would and given the circumstances - he kept it afloat.


This piece of shite is why I don’t mind piling on.

It pains me that he’s turned it into a political career and convinced people that he isn’t a massive piece of shite,
quote:

Deboer had no where near the same obstacles to face as Saban did. In 2023 Alabama had won the SEC west with a 12-2 record and lost in the Rose bowl in the CFP Semifinal.


I do agree the rebuild didn’t compare to what Saban took on. I’ll also say it’s ludicrous to think the team DeBoer took over was the one Saban won the SEC with.
quote:

At least he has a recruiting class of three stars to save the day too


This is such an odd flex when you’ve played Louisiana Tech and McNeese.
Competition matters. LSU has played two teams from Louisiana and zero teams who are currently ranked.
All while playing teams with a combined record of 9-10

Wow!!

Many of us had no idea either.


It was clear by the end of that summer that he was a five star. By the end of his senior season, it was clear he was one of the best players in the country.

Looking back, he should’ve been ranked the best player in the country over Underwood.
