Alabama. Program in decline.
Saban has lost it. Players were unprepared for bowl game. Or, maybe Saban still has it and you cant prepare players that dont want to be there. When you are used to winning NCs, this little bowl doesnt mean much. For Oklahoma, it looks like it means everything. They want this. Human nature plays a big part in these bowl games. Football is a tough sport and when you dont want to be there, it makes it extra tough.

Have the Alabama message boards fired Saban yet? He's 0-2 in his last two games.CWHOKIECPA wrote:Saban has lost it. Players were unprepared for bowl game.

By the way, I looked just out of curiosity to see who they play next year. Apparently, they got tired of beating us in the CFA preseason game so they are going to beat WVU in the CFA preseason game next year. Their non-conference schedule is cupcake city - other than WVU, they play FAU, USM, and WCU.

I would imagine if Saban went 7-6 and 8-5 in his last two seasons and had an anemic offense and wasn't competitive in his conference then yes, they would be looking for a change.BigDave wrote:Have the Alabama message boards fired Saban yet?

Of course, Sana does have 3 NC's for Bama during his tenure, so he might get a bit of reprieve.

It is amazing how quickly we have fallen to the ranks of the irrelevant. Hell, VT football might as well be Rutgers or Wake Forest right now.hokie80 wrote:I would imagine if Saban went 7-6 and 8-5 in his last two seasons and had an anemic offense and wasn't competitive in his conference then yes, they would be looking for a change.BigDave wrote:Have the Alabama message boards fired Saban yet?

In watching the UCLA game, I could not get over how much smaller our players looked on Offense. They brought men and we brought teenagers.
Frank really let complacency get the better of him. Those old offense coaches sucked azz as far as I am concerned.
