Tbe reality Alabama fans have come to wasn't a big shock and actually antiicipated. Reality #1- There was going to be a drop off after Nick. No way it wasn't going to be. Majority of us expected that. Reality #2- Expectations should be competing for conference titles and NC's, wnning them every three to five years. We played in the conference chapionship game and made it to the second round of the playoffs without having a running game all year. Reality #3- Two of our four losses were in post season play. Tards trying to equate four losses to four regular season losses are just that, retarded. Reality #4 DeBoer is more than likely a three to four year stop gap until the next HC. He doesn't have what it takes to win titles. Bama fans dont expect to win one every year but his teams are too inconsistent to ever win one. So, he's our puppy for two more years then he's probably cut loose. Reality #5 It could be worse. We could be in as bad of shape as Auburn, whose program has been a complete disaster for right at a decade. Reality #6 We've taken a dip no doubt, but that dip includes winning 11 games and playing in the post season.

Cope bammer! Your team’s aura is GONE, you got your arse kicked by a bunch of 2/3 star players on national tv. EAT and ENJOY that shite!

Saban won his titles and built his legend by always having a massive talent advantages at LSU/Bama combined with his coaching expertise. Cignetti’s doing what he’s doing now with what? 8 TOTAL 4/5 star players on his roster, most real ones acknowledge he’s the closest thing to a Saban clone.

That's pretty impressive given the crapstorm we've experienced this year.

Don't ever say things like that ever again, we have a standard of greatness here

Bad season, but we could still salvage an 8-4 record.

I just don't want a losing regular season record, we haven't had one since 1999, need to keep the streak intact

so basically Michigan is to Ohio State like Alabama is to Georgia in that sense?

Thats insane. And yall have the balls to claim Tiger Stadium is a hard place to play

1970-1999

1987 LSU went 10-1-1, played Bama in Baton Rouge, lost 22-10, cost the team a possible national title

I'm not giving the refs that much credit, our offensive line is garbage and we have trouble getting plays in regardless of home and away, it's embarrassing. We have a veteran QB who doesn't read the field well and a backup who struggles with accuracy but gives us a running dimension.

That said, my only complaints on the officiating:

-the no call personal foul by the Bama player throwing our guy down while both were out of bounds
-the no call running into the punter
-the review with MVB sliding which was total BS
-not familiar with this rule but not giving the ball to Woodland on that catch/INT

That said and not pinning this on Ramos but if our FG kicker makes a chip shot to start the game, we cut this thing to 17-12 and give ourselves a fighting chance. If Sharp doesn't fumble the ball away, Bama doesn't get gifted 3 points. If our offensive line was just better at execution and the basics, maybe we actually score a TD with all our WR weapons in all those trips in the red zone and the outcome's different. The moment we start blaming the refs for Ws and Ls, we lose the mental battle and thus the war. Just gotta play better.

FINALLY

Now we can actually begin this coaching search in earnest

Absolutely insane from this state I claim and love, almost like a marriage

Isn’t Rousse supposed to be helping Verge with the head coach search? Those committee meetings finna be awkward as fuuuuuuuck

OH MY GOD :banghead:

Hate feeling like I have to root against LSU to avoid Frank as HC

---

I'm not rooting against LSU for this reason (nor rooting against them at all, I'm a true fan but I digress), Frank loves LSU and would love both to succeed these final 4 games, but you best believe that if we win 4 of the last 5 (including bowl) or God willing go undefeated and take down Bama in their place, that we're going to give him a serious look. I don't want him because it's basically repeating what we did with O, yes we won the natty in 19 and it created memories for a lifetime but it got off to such a rocky start for O Year 1 with feuding with Canada and losing to Mississippi State and Troy then post-19, the bottom fell out so we had to cut bait.

My point is, should we hire Frank full-time, we should be fine short-term but I want sustained long-term continuity, success, and restoration of our Standard on a consistent basis and that comes with hiring of someone like a Saban, like a Kirby, like a Marcus Freeman, like a Kiffin, like a Ryan Day, like a Bob Stoops, like a Lanning, etc. Also, I really don't want a head coach who will be completely dependent on his coordinators to do his job on the sideline, prefer someone with prior playcalling experience on either side of the ball. The Coach O experience reflected so much chaos and dysfunction because of this dynamic. This model works, look at the head coaches of the nation's top teams, follow that blueprint.
