Josh. Love you and love your show bro. But my god what is that half sneeze/nose clearing/blowing out your nose thing going on?? Lol picks up horribly on your mic and is very distracting
@@butabi16 they’re called sinuses - feel free to send a cure
@@butabi16if you’re from the South, it’s part of our DNA.
Life long Alabama fan and I can’t wait for this show to get started these young Bama fans are freaking out and I’m watching all of this with a big smile on my face I can see what’s for what coming and it’s gonna be devastating for anybody play Alabama roll tide baby
Lmao yeah because y'all are gonna win the national championship with that new coach? Sure..lol
Alabama football about to tread back to the pre Saban days
@@xeverlastingxchaosx9679 nah whatever sorry ass team you root for has that spot all sorted out 😂
Actually it’s us non Bama fans who will be smiling. After a 8-4 or 9-3 season, watching Bama fans scream and cry is gonna be great. And then in 2025 when y’all go 9-3 again, you’re gonna get mad and demand Kalen to be fired. You will expect him to be saban 2.0 and when he isn’t you’ll want him gone. You’re so spoiled and entitled that you really think you deserve 12+ wins a year. Now that saban is gone, Bama won’t disappear. They’ll still be good obviously. But we’ll see if y’all are ok with being just another good 8-4 team instead of the best.
enjoy 7-5

"Our sports anchor Josh Pate is a huge Alabama fan"
-Local NBC 38
It all makes so much sense now
If you are this much of a baby about it why are you watching his program? You are another case of a mediocre person disliking a high achieving individual.
Oh definitely he is
Yall just claim anyone who doesnt mindlessly hate Alabama is a Alabama fan because yall are salty they’re dominated the sport for the last decade and a half
@@evanmixon2827 Yeah and people claim he was a Georgia fan when he said they would win it all in 2021. He just likes football and doesn't hate the teams that dominate it.
Kalen DeBoer will be fine. He's a very good coach. I would expect to see Alabama back in the semifinals or even the final of the playoff within four years, and in the meantime, they're not going to fall off the edge of a cliff. I view this as a "Frank Solich at Nebraska" thing -- and for those too young to remember, after Osborne retired in 1997, it took Solich exactly four years (2001) to get Nebraska back to the BCS Championship Game. This was pre-playoff, only 2 teams made it. If there had been a 12 team playoff back then Nebraska would have been in that every year Solich was the coach. Same here: Alabama isn't going to miss the 12 team playoff anytime soon unless they have a Murphy's Law situation and 18 starters in week 1 are out for the season with injury by Week 3.
To Ammend your Observation.....They will Definitely be in contention for the FORESEEABLE FUTURE. I PROMISE.
DeBoer was horrible at recruiting. I can only recall him once beating Lanning for a local recruit.
He won with prior coaches' guys at Washington and left the cupboards bare.
I think this short term is as good as it gets that at least those that haven't left are still high end talent. But if he recruits like he did before in a conference where everyone attacks recruiting like Lanning, he's going to have some ugly classes. Unless NIL suddenly takes off at Bama, this hire is doomed long term.
Bama fans won't wait 4 years. After the Sayin events Bama fans are already calling for his head. I was hoping Deboer got the job and was on the train until this idiotic move of bringing in the 3rd string QB from Wash and the message it sent to Sayin. This was one of the single dumbest moves I've seen to be honest. Deboer will go 7-5 and 7-5 and be out. I live in Alabama and haven't seen Bama fans this livid in 18 years. What this does is magnify every failure and Bama fans will say, well you let the best QB recruit in Bama history walk for a nobody that you liked. Deboer has no chance at Bama now.
@@OPGALAXY9999 uhh…he literally just beat Lanning twice in the same season. Wtf are you talking about 😂
@@Stopcomplaining334recruiting
Great to hear someone who knows more about college football than pretty much anyone say the same things that I have been thinking all along. Thanks, Josh!
For real though. Great point
Josh is the real deal

Typical Bama fan response. You are coming back to reality this year. And for a very long time down the road.
I am not usually a comment-er but something about this video brought this out in me. Sounds like you are trying to convince yourself (as well as Bama nation) to "settle down and everything will be all right". But from your own channel.... 1) Bama fans don't settle, 2) It is nigh impossible to follow "a legend", 3) Talent on the field is the #1 indicator for success, 4) competing in the PAC-12 is nothing like competing in the SEC, 5) everything is easier when you are winning. If I am counting right there were 8 coaches before Saban and after Bryant averaging 3 years each with only 1 Natty and 3 conference championships between. My sense ( and not to discredit DeBoer) is that there will be quite a few years of unsatisfied Alabama fans. I love your channel. 🖖
Yeah and who just beat the team Bama lost to with half the talent?
It's gonna get worse before it gets better, Kalen took a 4 and 8 Washington team and took them to the playoffs in year 2 with mostly 3 star and a handful of 4 star players! Welcome coach DeBoer we are behind you 💯%! Rtr
He wouldn’t take a 4-8 Washington type SEC team to that. He isn’t building an Arky or Mrs State from 4-8 to natty game. PAC is much easier place to turn around. No SEC ties, I’m more worried bout the next coach
@SpreadAU He beat 6 ranked teams including Oregon twice and Texas wich beat Bama I'd say he's a pretty good coach and just built a great staff around him. Also he's plucking all the good players out of the portal from Washington! Rtr trust the process! We got a lot of talent coming back.
He had Penix for both of those seasons also.
@@Dhithimhardyeah cause he got him in the transfer portal
@@SpreadAU Hmm! He beat the only team Bama lost to with less talent!🤔
Nil is about to have a cap put on it and the ncaa needs to stand up and look into teams tampering with alabama roster and punish the teams involved . College football has gone all to H-ll
Freshmen should not be eligible for NLI.
Give DeBoer time. He’ll rock this conference.
How can the students still leave if they can’t enroll for spring semester at the other school?
Sooner fan here. I believe Bama got a good coach! The whole system works this way. Baja’s pantry will not be decimated.
My advice to the fans, just take a breath
Every Ohio State fan, let this be a warning to all of us. If we run Ryan Day out of town without a completely better replacement, we are going to get demolished by the transfer portal way worse than Alabama is right now.
“Brand loyalty” went out the window once this whole thing became a billion dollar business. It still has its place to some degree but the players just ain’t buying it anymore. And some of the traditional CFB fans are just gonna have to get over it. They could fix the transfer rules but there’s no going back to not compensating the players. That’s over with.
Yea brand loyalty was done about 10 years ago
It's not about that. It's About UNIFORM RULES. Do you not Agree? This was done to Force Change. Accomplished. But if Parameters aren't Put into Place, This Shyte will IMPLODE. It's not Sustainable. As it currently Stands. No Question
@@zj4008brand loyalty was don way longer than 10 years ago it was just harder to use your freedom
@@ChappyQuiddick-wz6ci Right now it’s a little wild westy but it’s still fair because it goes both ways. You can grab players just as quickly as yours are grabbed. Some folks are just butthurt because now they gotta wine,dine and beg players to stay. They’ve never had to do that before and they feel that’s beneath them because of “their brand”.
I look forward to your shows. Better than all the other college analyst
Love Late Kick!
People always tried to smear Saban by saying he only got great players by paying them. We’re seeing now that players were willing to take less NIL money just to play for Saban. Greatness sounds like a corny word to use for a football coach, but I think Saban was great, and would’ve been great no matter what profession he was in. Accordingly, great players wanted to play for him. Bama’s NIL program is not strong, relatively speaking, and will have to improve. Which sucks, because college football is headed toward becoming semi-pro football. And semi-pro football sucks.
When they allowed NIL it became semi pro. It’s pay for play. The schools with the largest collectives gets the best players. Take a look at Texas and Texas A&M. College football as we knew it, is a thing of the past.
Well he did coach in the NFL and wasn’t very good
As a Bama fan I’m going out and supporting the guys who have decided to stay. I’ll be buying myself a Campbell and Lawson jersey as soon as possible. As I’m sure many other Bama fans will do as well.
I agree. I understand downs, he was here because of Nick, but bond can KMA, he is all about the $$$
I’m sure they’ll appreciate the 5 cents they get from your purchase
@@WadeTownsend-gm6qrit’s a dog eats dog world. These players are employees in all but the name. If you’re working for 250k a year but someone else offers 350k, you’d leave as did they.
@jeremiahtisdell4823 depends on the possible future. Problem is, it's college not the NFL. College is supposed to be for one to obtain an education so one can get a job on the real world. It's not supposed to be for players to get paid. If you think college was formed so people could make money in college you would be incorrect. Now, once one gets in the real world, it's different, then I agree with you. Once NIL and portal were created, it changed everything. You can buy a team, that's not what college was intended to be. I hope these players are dead ass broke after football. If that's all the want, then they are lost souls. Money is not everything in the end, but we live in a me me me society and instant gratification. Hell, the NFL has far more rules than college. It's all upside down. This is not sustainable , it is hurting the sport in the long run.
@jeremiahtisdell4823 does not even warrant a reply. Your response is ubiquitous with most who are oblivious today.
I have a degree from Stanford, so I appreciate your comments about the school.
"oh shit did he just pull a sledgehammer out" 😂😂😂
Go Bucks! Cant believe Downs is coming to Columbus, I dont know where we're getting the money, but I'm here and living for it
It wouldn't all about the $ if any. His father was in the NFL and he's the best safety in the country for a reason. Development! That's why he came to Bama cause Nick was great at it on the defensive side and he just wasn't impressed with the new coach to take him to another level so he chose the next best option excluding UGA who his father hates for refusing to offer his older brother since they only live a few miles away from Athens.
Lol at Bama fans for thinking all these players from LA, Dallas, Miami were coming over to freakin Tuscaloosa for anything other than business.
I think change bothers a lot of people. Do you know what never changes? The great products and amazing prices are Academy Sports and Outdoors, the right stuff the right price
You hit it right on the nail
As an Ole Miss fan living in Alabama, I've been an interested observer of this process. Mainly I was just relieved Bama left Kiffin alone... Something I've been hearing quite a bit floating around is DeBoer being compared to the last guy to come out of the Northwest to the state of Alabama - a name that still makes Auburn fans shudder. Bryan Harsin. I have my doubts about that comparison, but I'd be interested to know your thoughts.
Harsin didn’t prove himself while he was at Auburn. Coach DeBoer hasn’t had his first practice at Alabama. So just because people are comparing them on the Internet, doesn’t mean a thing yet. We will have to see what Coach DeBoer actually does before we can compare him to someone else. But I’ll give you my take. Coach DeBoer was just in the Title Game a couple weeks ago, with lesser talent than Texas, the team that he made look silly and confused. I think he will bring that same wizardry to Tuscaloosa. People don’t realize that Coach DeBoer was Saban’s pick for his replacement. That’s still a part of the Process. Saban wanted the OC from Washington, Grubbs. Now he got him and the head coach. Saban is still on campus and more than likely, will be acting as the CEO over the football program. People don’t see the vision. These kids that are jumping ship talking about Saban no longer being the coach, they don’t see that Saban is still there and will still be a part of the program. And you better believe when practice starts, Saban will be on the sidelines watching from afar, still giving out nuggets to the new staff and players. Bama football isn’t going anywhere. It just got younger and hungrier. That’s all. RTR!!!
I thought you were talking about Mike Price lol.
Yeah. Like back in the 80's players in high school used to think, "I want to play at Alabama."," I want to play at Notre Dame.", "I want to play at Michigan.", "I want to play at Texas." Nowadays these players are too busy on their smartphones thinking, "How much money am I gonna make and where can I make it?" It is sad times we live in indeed.
The 12 team play off will make it so much easier for DeBoer than It would have been if it had stayed a 4. I can say that about DeBoer but not much else. usually it doesn't work out to well when THE MAN leaves.
Not a bama fan, but I love the honest, non-dramatic perspective.
I absolutely love your insights. I think I have a clue, but you take me to a greater understanding. Love the way you pull no punches. Hate to see college football being nothing more than money. But, why should it be different? The whole damn country is now like that. Roll Tide!. We won't be back. We never left!
😂😂 he tryna sugarcoat the exodus lol they not gonna be trash next year but it’s gonna be a slow fall off back to the 05’ days
Great as always Josh. Think DeBoer is going to be something to deal with. RMFT!!
I'm No Bama Fan. Saban is Elite I Respect what He's Done. Imagine Coming Behind Him. In the real world on Regular Jobs I've Seen Managers Quit/Fired/Resign Following the Footsteps of a Great Leader. I saw it Happen Twice In My Military Days from 1986 to 1994.
Saban Is One Tough Act to Follow.
DeBoer the SEC is Absolutely DIFFERENT
See that why I gave the ultimate respect to Kalen DeBoer for taking the Job so I hope Alabama play fearless and take the identity of their New coach Roll Tide💯
Its a long time til this recruitment cycle concludes. Good time to sharpen the shovels and add some caulking. Come signing day we will know . As for what team actually gets on the field for Alabama....theres so much movement in rosters now its almost pointless to speculate what will happen at Alabama
I have no idea if this show was even around at this point, but what was his take when Bryan Harsin was hired at Auburn?
That’s exactly why I listen to this show. Real facts!! Thanks Josh
Except he missed the point. He rarely does, but this is one such instance.
dark days are comin bubs, and coming fast
The sky is falling…the sky is falling…aaaaaaaahhhhhhh. 🤯
If it anit chicken little
You wish, you wish, you wish!
@@RonTDB I’m being sarcastic 🤡
Only time will yield the TRUTH! As a BAMA fan our motto is “In GOD We TRUST…ALL Others Must Prove Themselves on the GRIDIRON!”
LSU has that. Kids from Louisiana grow up wanting to play for LSU, regardless of who the coach is. And usually that’s enough to compete for championships.
He’s an Alabama fan and he hates LSU. He’s not even good at hiding it.
Yeah but kids from Texas and California are not gonna care about that so it’s no different than Alabama
I believe Joshua is being prophetic here. I like the new coach that he has what it takes. Ain't no brand loyalty much over $s and playing time immediately.
No… no one can point you to that program and that’s not the point… here on the ground floor Alabama fans (not TH-camrs) been talking CRAZY for so long. So the “they weren’t loyal to Alabama” commit is totally valid in context
I believe trajectories of program is key here. When u are consistently a top program for 15 plus years. Players are there for coach because the juice in program is Nick Saban. Due to that brand numbing success is the issue. Brands like Texas, Oregon and others are Brand driven loyalty mainly people love the up and comer. Btw I’m a loyal DUCKS fan. In summary Alabama being Alabama is in a completely unique situation with roster this year.
Bama fan here. I agree with you. BTW, great coach you guys have. My problem is the portal, nil really don't have many rules. The NFL is far more controlled than this crap. It makes it hard on every coach in the sport. Look at the basketball coaches that have retired from this crap. This must end, I really am not fired up about watching college kids play who are loyal to only $$$$. That's not what college is for. Besides, what does an 18 to 22 year old know anyway? It's not their fault, once the portal and nil went into effect, it was the kiss of death. Obviously kids are going to take the most money and best cars and all those things. They need farm leages like in baseball, AAA, AA.
Texas and Oregon don’t have any Brand loyalty outside of their respective state just like every other school in the country but why would u expect a young black kid from accross the country be loyal to a yt institution that wouldn’t even have allowed him to go there 2 generations ago
@tennisplayer5490 hmmm, so we are going to live in the past are we... hold a grudge much? Nobody in charge now had anything to do with 2 generations ago. I assume you're in favor of reparations also? Same old opinion.., keep playing that race card, sigh
I think the only time kids will stay at a program after a coach leaves is when they are local.
If you were born in that state and rooted for them as a kid it's about more than than the coach.
They just discontinued the dodge challenger, they’re going to struggle in recruiting without their greatest weapon. IYKYK.
I hope you're right, Josh. I've been a Bama fan since the Gene Stallings era so I'm an old fart. But always knew this day was coming so that's why I never took this epic Bama/Saban run or dynasty for granted. I savored every victory and rarely talked smack. I just hope the suits at Bama realize DeBoer needs time and he also needs them to step up in the NIL game. The mass exodus of players is greatly due to all these 5star and blue chip players took a huge discount off their NIL deals to play for Saban and his staff... now he's gone and the university needs to match or best other programs in the NIL game. Plus I hope this helps to show the rule makers in NCAA football change HAS to happen SOON. here's to the future of my beloved Tide and to the sport I love watching. RTR!
Yep!
Josh, which coach in the P5 will have the most experience in playoff college football? And I'm not talking 4 team CFP. I'm thinking Kalen DeBoer. Am I right?
Its true, the vast majority of players are where they are because of either the head coach or position coach. However, the reason these things are being said is because of Alabama fans. They have believed for so long that all these guys just wanted to be at Alabama because its Alabama and its funny to see them have to come to the realization that Alabama is no different than any other school, they are not special. Alabama had the greatest college football coach for almost 20 years the real world is now catching up to them.
Need a follow up Josh now that the staff is set and transfers have ended
Notice that Kirby, sark and kiffin all talked about how grateful they are for all Saban did for them.. and kiffin is the only one who hasn't jumped on it. Class much?
I’m super excited about the new era coming at Alabama. We will be in the playoffs this season. All these teams cough ( Georgia ) will still be beat by Alabama again.
That would be nice but it ain't happening.
I have acreally nice bridge to sell you
This is all understandable, things change my only question is if Saban is still an advisor where’s his influence in all this ? I don’t see any
The different between Alabama Players and other school players leaving is that Alabama players is the best of the best. Remember you got 5 stars leaving Alabama oppose to 3 maybe four stars leaving other schools when the coach leave.
Yea ngl as a bama fan, we are gonna go through a big time rut before we exceed again.
Yes unfortunately history shows it can literally be a generation or more of disappointing seemingly insolvable mediocrity that in desperation descends even further into confusion and chaos after the magic spell of dynastic success is suddenly broken by a head coach retirement or major scandal. Look at Univ of Miami, Fsu, USC, etc etc.
95% of the football team was only there because of Saban not because Bama is that special and the players proved my point!
And?
I think ND is the only team that can do this. The education is the draw not the Coach.
Next year, if Alabama has as much talent across the board as Washington did this year, what’s to stop them from going all the way with Deboer?
Shula Dubose etc … eras I remember too
Where was all of this when Oklahoma lost 95% of there players and staff?!?!? Ohhh but 20 players are leaving bama and it’s the end of the f@$&ing world
Yeah cause right now they losing but in order to win you have to lose but I like this coach a lot hopeful he can recruit and keep Alabama at the top
ALABAMA NEW FOOTBALL COACH DEBOER: WE WANT PLAYERS WHO WANT TO BE HERE
Players have been taking a discount $$ to play for Sabin for years .... not anymore :)
Exactly …Saban was practicing NIL illegally all along (expensive cars , poor parents new cars / houses , moving Tuna Tacofish family to Alabama & living big etc etc).. Now he can’t dominate so he gone . Back to mediocrity Bama inbreds
Plenty of good coaches fail because the system won’t wait for them to right the ship.
Bama got the one coach I didn't want to see follow Saban. If anyone can keep the juggernaut that Saban's built rolling along, it's Kalen DeBoer.
No, there is no school that inspires loyalty on their name alone, but that’s the point. Up until a couple days ago, it’s a fact everyone except 90% of Bama fans already knew.
😂
Auburn's prayers have been answered.
The point of the “committed to saban, not bama” is that Bama think their program is above the everyone else when it isn’t
I don’t necessarily think Deboer is going to fail, but I don’t think it’s gonna be as seamless as you say. I believe these losses are a bigger deal than you make them out to be, and I think year one is gonna be a bit of a wake up call. You fell in love with Nick Saban, which is understandable, but Deboer isn’t Saban. I don’t think think they are on planet really. But who is. But you act as if this was just a changing of the guard and it will be business as usual. Not the case at all. Washington did some amazing things this year, but if Ga doesn’t lose the SEC championship, Washington losses in the semis.
You are wrong about Ohio State. If nothing else, they would always get most of the best out of Ohio. That's enough to be relevant. Through all their coaching changes, they have been good.
The big question here though Josh is: Are the big money boosters going to have the patience to wait 2-3 years for Debar to get his feet under him? Now that Julian Sayin is in the portal their offensive building block is gone...so Bama will have to rebuild using the Spring Portal guys, but those guys are going to be the ones that FAIL to make the two-deep at their current school, not exactly the cream of the portal crop. This puts a big onus on recruiting, which DeBoer hasn't exactly been a rock star at, as he's built most notably Washington into what they were through the portal (see my previous sentence). I'm not entirely sure Bama can lose 3-4 games and still make the Playoffs (look at what happened to FSU without their QB) so a 3-4 loss Bama team that looks mediocre from the eye test won't make the CFP. How many seasons do the Big Money Boosters give DeBoer? Especially if he can't recruit in the cutthroat SEC and bring in a top 10 recruiting class on a consistent basis? If they can wait it out and give him 4-5 seasons to establish himself then I think he'll be fine...but when 10's of Millions of dollars are being thrown around, instant results are (unfairly) expected.
Bama will still be a consistent contender
Josh what do you think about Ohio St. hiring Bill O'Brian as OC?
your right about brands andthat iswhy nil and portalwilldestroy game.iam69 and bama fan over 50 yrs. it has steadily been falling away for couple decades more rapid last 3 or 4. you cant put this much $ out there for 17 yr olds. and freedom to leave everytime they get mad or frustrated. i remember even the day when kids grew up wanting to play for paticular team and ddo it can you imagine for love of the game and a free education. i love this game and dont like sayng what i see and even hope im wrong but im not. have to change portal to have some obligation after signing and money more reasonable and divided. $ corrupts every single thing it gets in no matter what
Yep, it's fun for opposing fans to unleash 17 years worth of frustration trolling, but the reality is that this is the state of the sport right now and if it happens to Bama it will also happen to any other program that loses a coach. The other aspect to it is that while the portal is ravaging Bama's roster at the moment, its also going to be a major tool for DeBoer's staff in the spring. Major rebuilds can happen in months rather than years in today's version of college football.
it already has happend to other teams that’s the problem yall think this just happend to bama now it’s a problem but it has happend to plenty of teams already for years
yeah, well, you can put me in "believe it when i see it" category on this one. we're talking about adrenaline surges and sledgehammers? meanwhile, in the real world, his roster is scattering to the wind.
Caleb Downs… welcome to UGA!
Source?
@@TheEhodge Caleb downs.
Did he transfer?
@@TheEhodge never mind. He is going to Ohio state. Mr. Downs is still holding a grudge about UGA not offering Josh a scholarship so Caleb is going to OSU.
Ha! It's good to see that the dogs are still as delusional as ever.
I agree with your take, I think most do. Which makes the Bama stuff even funnier from their fans because they think it was more than Saban, and that’s not true
Alabama shut out Nick Saban in Baton Rouge in 2002 with a coach that washed out of CFB. I was in the season ticket section to see it. Ze-fawkin-ro, 0. When was the last time you saw a NS team get shut out? I will wait while you google.
“It’s not great” is how you downplay a bad situation! Wait till bama’s poor 2024-25 season finish.
If you look at the Alabama schedule, I can see potentially 3 losses and I am being generous; Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Oklahoma and you never know about the Iron Bowl 🤷🏻♂️
DeBoer seems a little caught off guard by the grinder of the SEC. Not calling T Rob the minute he was interested was incredibly dumb.
he really fucked up with that 🤦
He seemed like a lazy recruiter at UW. He just left town before it mattered.
@@jimsomerville3924No, Washington is just a recruiting desert where no coach has recruited well.
Colorado!
Nobody felt sorry for Tennessee when it happened to them and we have still not built our team all the way fully a great talent yet but we are almost there and if we can do it in a couple years they can too😅
I will feel sorry for UT if they get beat by Bama this season 😅
Y’all were never consistent so it’s not the same
Even with everyone jumping ship the players who stay are part of the number one recruit class ever so alabama has the talent to compete. . not saying they are going to win it all the first season because a lot of these players are young this team will be fine. Deboer beat a loaded Texas team with five star talent two times so I don't know why they try to get sark same with Dan Lanning deboer two and zero against Dan with less talent
@@riri6975 we were from 1985 or so until 2007 or so with a season here or there that was bad. The 2009 Kiffin exodus nuked the program and the 3 coaches that came after were horrible. Frankly, it is all about getting a good coaching system. If you don't have it, people post crap about your program like you are about Tennessee. If you do, they come back. Alabama was crap in 2000s but people forgot because of Saban. USC was crap in 1990s but people forgot during Pete Carol era although they have declined again. Get a great coach and you are back. Florida and Nebraska, for example, are both in the toilet but if they get a good coach, they will be back.
In a couple of years?? UT has been irrelevant since Fulmer and haven't even been to the SEC Championship since 2007. Y'all have been rebuilding for 16 years lol
I hope the left guard Julius Buelow 6'8" 310 from Washington transfer to Alabama
I'm good with Austin Mack, looks goodto me...RT
It’s shocking to see what is happening at Bama right now. Hope the same thing doesn’t happen to my Wolverines when Harbaugh leaves.
Saying players committed to Saban and not bama wasn't saying their school was any different. You assumed that's what they meant. They said it to prove alabama was nothing special just like every other school. As someone who lives in Alabama, Tuscaloosa is not a nice city. Their point was proven.
Alabama fans were saying FSU had a culture problem a month ago. How ironic that is now. 😂
Thank you!!
Bama had problems when Jalen Hurts had to leave just to get playing time.
Tua was the better QB for Alabama. Granted he got injured before LSU but he was a better QB at the time@@gobigorange
FSU sucks!
FSU does have a culture problem and Bama just lost their coach. This isn’t a song of a culture problem
When players come to play for a certain coach, don't be surprised when they go play elsewhere when said coach is gone.
As Memaw says , “my grandson don’t know what hell he’s talking about “
As an Alabama alum and ride or die Tide fan, DeBoer was a terrible let down. He was at best the 4th choice. It was a great ride, but with NIL and an unrestricted free agency - sorry transfer portal, we'll be as relevant to players as Notre Dame. The best years are in the rear view mirror. There's no way we can compete with the money and resources (which is now the most important factor) that Texas and to some extent Georgia have.
Lol. “Ride or die Tide fan”. Betcha after two or three 8-4 years, that Bama flair will start to wear off and not sound quite as nice huh. It’ll be time to jump to whoever else is the best. Cause we all know 98% of Bama fans are just Bama fans cause they won freaking 12 games a year. Bama fans really are so spoiled that they think 8-4 is “sticking with your team through the bad times”. Dude come cheer for my fucking god awful Hogs and you’ll know the bad times. However much God loves bama, he equally hates Arkansas. We suck now and forever.
Watching Bama fall apart will make the depression of us embarrassing ourselves hurt a bit less.
Caleb downs is gonna set records wherever he goes
Roll Tears Roll !!!!
So I'm the first to admit I'm a Nobody just turned the ugly 50 this year. And as much as I know, the football down here is worlds better than anywhere else. I'm oldschool when rival meant something. You've never heard me chanting SEC! My favorite teams every week are TENNESSEE & whoever is playing the Florida Felons & the Tide! I spent the first half of my life growing up 50 minutes from Newland stadium. Being a fan of a team that was constantly a top 10 contender to out of nowhere, becoming the whipping boy of the SEC East for 2 flipping decades. And yes, as much as the gators can lick my dirty dog's butt crack. I hate Bama almost as much so I'm happy to see that those fans are in for a rude awakening now. Do I think they're going to endure anything close to the crap decades We did? Not even close, but the days of constantly being a contender. Those days are long gone. I don't know a thing about this Kevin Debour guy. But I do know that for him to come into Alabama to take over for what all have to admit is the greatest coach of all time. This man being able to walk surprises me. Because there's no doubt in my mind He has got a set of cahones between his legs that are twice as big as what King Kong had in his old Sacojewia!
It’s a young man’s job with NIL and the portal being the way it is. Without a change these coaches will start retiring in their 50s.
Unfortunate Bama can lose players but not gain players at the same time
Saban Crimson Tide, that was the brand. Be a new one in the few years, someone had to follow saban and fail. The next guy will get it done
Oregon fan here. Watched Chip Kelly leave, Helf got fired, the Snake left after a year, then Mario left. Now its bama's turn. Too Bad So Sad. Go Ducks and Go Dan Lanning.
DeBoer is a good coach. But he is not a big name. And he is not a southerner. The SEC will chew him up. The bama fans will put his face on a hot stove. Alabama will demand a real southerner real soon. Maybe some high school coach with a heavy drawl from some swamp or chicken ranch.
In my mind, UT would be able to keep its players if Sark left. They have the oil💰 to finance the NIL deals. They have it unlike any other program in CFB. That is the only program that could prevent the haemorrhaging BAMA is experiencing.
There is no brand loyalty anymore. That's everyone's point. All these fair weather Bama fans from the last decade+ don't have a clue what's about to happen.
If Harbaugh leaves and Kelly goes to Michigan, then do you think Kiffin goes to LSU?
He’s got an overall great record, mainly in the fcs. He spent 2 seasons at a major fbs team. He was 12-6 at Fresno State and we don’t even know if he can recruit. I think this a rushed coaching hire. And Bama will be looking for a new coach by 2023. Not sure but I think the majority of difference makers on the field were petersons’s recruits..
By 2023 you say?
Texas was trash for 13 years and still managed to recruit incredibly well
