I think what upsets me the most, is the fact that Saban hasn't come out and apologized for doing such a poor job. He hasn't admitted to poorly preparing the team and he hasn't admitted to making some questionable personnel decisions. You can surround yourself with tons of coaches but they need to be decent.
Sure the run at the end of the season last year was over emphasized. But shouldn't we be better? At least a little better than last season. We aren't, we're worse. The competition so far this year has been much worse and we haven't been able to compete. Besides Ricky, we have more talent on offense than we had a year ago. The O-Line is the same and should certainly be better having worked with eachother for a couple years now. Everyone knew the D was old, but we had faith in Saban (Mr. Secondary) to prepare the new guys to at least compete. He failed there as well.
There is no reason that this team should be worse than it was last year and it isn't just a little worse, it's far worse. It's time Saban admitted it and it's time he got noticeably upset at himself and his team.
I think he believed the hype as much as anyone. He thinks his practices have gone well. He thinks that his team is well prepared each week. Sorry, but any good coach knows when practices have gone well and the team is well prepared. Most bystanders that know football could tell you if a team was prepared or not based on practices. There is no way in hell practices go well. No way. This team is as undisciplined as it is old and boring. What happens in practice is mirrored in games.
He has blinders on. He thought way to highly of himself over the offseason. He thought it was going to be easy and that all he had to do was make sure to replace one coach with at least 2 more. Unfortunately he forgot that bigger isn't necessarily better especially if the replacement coaches are bad.
I was still supporting him until a couple weeks ago. Now I want him to hold himself accountible. To sit in a conference and let the world know that he's made some huge mistakes and let himself, his team and his fans down.
If he wants to put a gag on the rest of his coaches than he should step up and start talking like a coach instead of a politician. Maybe he feels the way I want him to express but chooses not to. At some point it needs to be done. At some point you have to show everyone that you are upset. Let them know you aren't a bs artist and that you do care.
