DeBoer seems to be the main one on the list that loses inexplicable games as well. That’s your answer

What are the “inexplicable” losses for KD at Bama?

FSU was FEI 28 this year. Not a good loss by any means but not horrible
UGA? SEC Champ, CFP
OU? CFP

OU last year was FEI 34 with a #1SOS on the road at night
Vandy? FEI 41 but with 4 one score losses
UM? FEI 23 and by that point we were inoperable on offense due to Milroe

I guess it comes down to what your opinion of our team was last year relative to what’s an inexplicable loss.

Personally I don’t think the margin for error for us last year with a first year coach who couldn’t run his offense due to a complete collapse at QB and OL was enough to make those inexcusable losses, I just think we were scratching to survive a transition year where most people couldn’t accept the falloff from peak Saban rosters to what we had left due to NIL losses and QB eval failures.

Look at all the religious “charities” that were getting billions for housing illegals.

The whole thing is a massive money laundering operation to turn taxpayer funds into political power and kickbacks for those who are part of the game.

All this BS aside, he sucks at his job.

He absolutely does not.

Listen to him breakdown film on his YouTube channel and explain how he isn’t superior in his football knowledge to 90% of the commentary guys.

I agree in regards to the OP.

My response was speaking to the discrepancy between how many fans around here and even some who support Bama don’t seem to give him his due.

FEI Opp Adj Defense (2025)
4) OU
8) LSU
10) Bama
12) Texas
13) AU
14) A&M
15) USCe
16) UGA

It was obviously a bad night but Baker took them from a laughing stock to nationally elite, dude can coach defense.

Without that defense LSU is probably a 4-6 win team this year because the offense couldn’t punch its way out of a wet paper bag (FEI 81st nationally).

The offense and OL specifically got Brian Kelly fired. He had the #2 offense and #101 defense in 2023 and just two years later somehow managed to flip the script to 81 on offense and 8th on defense.

A hot tub properly done amplifies an outdoor area incredibly.

Sitting in a hot tub watching a football game smoking a cigar or enjoying the company of a woman on a cold night with a drink is pretty tough to beat.

To be fair, we pulled the backups really late in that game. Like with less than six minutes left in the fourth.

---

Their backup only threw one pass so at worst it’s at parity.

It’s even worse when you look at all the endocrine disruptive chemicals they put in the body wash.

Only downside to the bar soap option is it leaves residue in the shower.

2020 Alabama was the best College Football Team I’ve ever seen. Covid year or not that team was different.

That offense didn’t even have Jaylen Waddle most of the season.

UGA had to play us early and took both shotgun barrels from the Devonta Smith / 4 NFL OL guys / Jaylen Waddle / Mac Jones / Najee Harris / Brian Robinson offense.

UGA was good that year with Bennett/Pickens/Burton and it just didn’t matter. I think they gave up 40+ and almost 600 yards on offense, it just wasn’t fair.

The only offense I’ve ever seen on that level was 2019 LSU with Burrow/Jefferson/Chase/Edwards-Halaire.

because the media likes underdogs and, especially, likes new faces, and the media is going to ride that to the bitter end.

They also now realize that just like a good novel you need a protagonist and an antagonist to maximize ratings and narratives.

In modern CFB whether within the SEC or nationally Bama is absolutely a compelling antagonist and our ratings prove it.

Whatever you hear on air the producers and execs love us because their viewers will tune in to hate watch us and the numbers prove it.
