We seem to have some fans here that are sure Sabans the problem with this team, even though realistically it's only his second season. We've read people here trash his ability to caoch, draft, select assitant coaches, ect. I think many of us are upset with where this team is now and we have that right, although I try to avoid the site a few hours after a loss to prevent myself from saying things out of anger.
I will be very interested to see if Saban can adjust to what he's learning from one season to the next. We seem to have struck out for the most part with the choices in the secondary and to be more specific, Saftey. I hope whatever is going on with Jason Allen, time will fix, but Tilman and Hill flat out suck. Now lets consider what was avalible to Saban and what we could afford, before we trash Saban. You can't fix everything in two season and you can't buy a Porche on a yugo budget.
I think Our Oline has had injury issues and they are playing better, even with the injuries. I think Saban tries to improve the line this coming spring, but I'm not totally against this unit thus far, give them time to build some chemistry and get healthy.
Thus far our biggest problem has been WR. We have very little to talk about from this unit other then Wes. I love his heart and ability to get open when it's needed, but lets be honest he just isn't a legit one or two, however his value is beyond important. Marty is good, but we need more then just one or two games a season from our #2 guy we can do much much better. We need to replace him without question. Now Chris Chambers, I'm sorry guy's but Chris just isn't a number 1 WR.
I watched Hines Ward yesterday and he ran out of his shoe and battled all the way to the endzone, when have you ever seen Chambers do that??? I wanted so baldly to place Chambers up in the upper relm of WR's, but I just can't do it because he doesn't deserve it. If you want to be the best you take it, you don't wait for someone to give it to you. I was all for Chris and blaming his performances on the QB, but when is it going to be his fault?? I think this year is the year he needs to take the blame.
Now the rest of the D, we need another OLB with speed and the ability to make plays especially when he's blocked. Would anyone be upset if we drafted Posluszny next year with our first?? I wouldn't!! I think the way things are going well have a shot at him. We also need to upgrade the saftey position....badly. Our Dline IMO is the best unit on the field for us, deep and full of youth.
Basically we would be a different team if we had a speedy explosive OLB, hard hitting, fast and smart S, and a WR that is a legit #1. I think Sabans third season will be a sign of his ability to coach at this level.
1) His ability to adjust to what he's learned in his first two seasons.
Or in otherwords, his ability to add NFL players to the roster. Something he didn't have to do at the college level, not every player in college has to be top notch, but in the NFL they do.
2) The ability to tell the dience between FA that will succeed and ones that won't. I think by adding players like Joey and Will Allen, Sabans shown he does his homework, not every FA will succeed.
IMO those are the two most important improvements Saban needs to make. Overall we are about a 500. ballclub, even though our record doesn't show that. I think the adjustments made from last year to this year were to dramtic, that and our expectations were to high. I think Sabans ability, Philosphy, desire, work ethic and talent are more then enough to succeed in the NFL, he just needs to put it all together and only time will give him that chance.
