Saban is done.

There is this fella named Pete Fiutak at collegefootballnews dot com. He thought Bama would win 38-16.
... with Milroe and Bama's offensive line? I'd advise him to put down the crack pipe.
 
Saban just needs to learn to treat the players like he has the Boosters and media at Bama since he got there and stop catering to them. He needs to tell that QB that he is not a pro style QB and that yall are going to run alot of read option if he still wants to play QB (which is a scary thought, the kid can fly). He does that, Bama will be ok.
 
My take on this. Saban is not the issue. Yes his ego wont let him admit when he missed on who the starter should be, but that is expected considering he has won so many titles.

Offensive line cannot block for running or passing.
Quarterback is more of a runner than a QB. He needs to be relegated to specialty packages where wildcat offense is used, put in a QB that can pass the ball from the pocket, build a pocket around that QB.
Defense needs to learn how to get to the QB even in double teams.
Coverage is an area of concern.
Our offensive coordinator needs to understand that screens and short passes are designed for fast defenses rushing in, so utilize that part of your play book when they are keying on your happy feet QB.
Long pass plays take time to develop, if you dont have time to drop back, you dont have time for a long pass play.
Receivers need better tutelage on how to get open and what to do when the QB is scrambling.

With all of this said, Bama fans are spoiled(me included). We got used to the magnificence of Bryce and his ability to scramble inside the line of scrimmage and find an open receiver. We wont see that again if Milroe is the option the rest of the way as starter. He will give is a drop back, possible 1 second scan, and then launch for the sidelines to run, or straight ahead to scramble to yards. If he is the started next week, Saban's ego didnt watch the game film of this game with him. Bama will survive to fight another day, and when Texas comes to our house again, we will live to fight another time with that team.

Bro this is the worst QB play we had since Brodie got hurt and we threw Marc Guillon and Spencer Pennington out there

His points are valid though: Saban firmly believes that if his plans are executed properly, his teams cannot lose, all but ignoring talent gaps that may exist. He called the game tonight as though BY was still under center, and with an o-line that could provide more than two seconds of protection.
 
They could back then. Barners bought a QB and won the National Title. Tuberville was buying kids too
You know Alabama had taken it to different level and don’t even pretend it wasn’t happening.

There wasn’t a level playing field then. Now there is.
 
There is considerably more parity now than in Bama's days of football supremacy.

Is it tho? Kirby is about to do the same thing. And unlike Saban I don’t even think he is 50 yet so he has got 25 or so years

You seem to be greatly underestimating UGA’s ability to step on their own dicks.

You may want to re-think your position, good sir.

Only thing that’s gonna stop UGA is if Kirby gets the Itch to try the NFL. He is a Saban clone and he is young enough and has enough energy to keep it going.

And unlike Saban he doesnt have to leave his home state to acquire elite players
