Strange but I think paying the college players has increased the popularity of the NFL.
Agreed.
Its even worse for Bama fans because we went from having the GOAT HC that said something interesting, motivating, insightful, etc every time he took the podium to now this feckless tumbling dickweed of a HC that never says anything worth listening to. Why tune in anymore ?
Less interesting all around- I have no idea whos even on the roster right now. I could give you the 2 deep, and where they were from ever since I was a kid. Ive never been this out of touch with the program.
Nothing last forever I suppose.
The GREED and how quickly they moved once they got the door cracked should frighten people. Nothing is safe. If "they" want it they'll get it.
Look at the prices of homes in America for example... as soon as hedge funds started buying homes after the 2008 crash it was only about 10 years later that housing became unattainable for normal families.
Point being everything "American" is being sold out from under Americans.
Thomas Jefferson called it-
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies," and fearing that "corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered".

especially with no running game that forces safeties into the box?
Dew wut now ?
Teams played two-high / split safeties against us all season because they could contain our running game with their front 7.
The split safeties were able to divide the field, and make any read to either side hard AF for the QB, and no room to fit the ball.
Basically the complete and total lack of a run game made Bama one dimensional before the game even started, and it took a herculean effort from Ty before he apparently fell apart physically to move the chains.
Its no wonder he was having to adjust the offense and reads and getting the snaps off with 1 second all year long - defenses were able to dictate everything Bama did offensively instead of Bama being able to impose their gameplan. The damn OL's sitting their squatted for half a minute before every snap etc. just a total dumpster fire of an offense.
I'll say it again, Wommack did a better job with his side of the ball than DeBoer and Grubb did with theirs. The guy was called an offensive guru and yet this is the worst two years of offense in a quarter century.
Want to know why ? Because his offense is already antiquated and should have died along with the PAC12.
quote:
Mad respect for his toughness but why was he playing?
So DeBoer could make Ty a scapegoat, and nobody would figure out that he hasn't developed Mack in three years.
It's the only logical conclusion.

You do realize that one of Cignetti's signature pieces of how he runs his program is shorter practices and being efficient with time and coaches are not expected to work nights or extended hours. Practices are only live three times a week for about 90 minutes with two days as limited walktroughs.
quote:
The DeBoer quote posted is literally the exact same thing Cignetti pushes.
but I'm sure PowHound will come back in here and tell us that we are wrong, or that its beside the point, or some other dumb deflection
"you do realize" - The ultimate "gotcha" line on internet message board speak. :lol: Welp, let's unpack this a little.
I dont care how many hours they work during the week as long as the team is ready to play, and the organization is tip top.
My comment about DeBoer making that public statement the week he took over was more pointed at his "I'm gonna save everyone from this work to death environment that Nick Saban created."
When you take command or leadership then immediately make a blanket statement like "we're gonna spend more time at home" I think you're telling everyone we are gonna loosen things up a bit around the program, and boy it shows.
I personally have weeks that I can get away with being in the office 3 days a week. I have other times of the year where I know I'll be in the office for a month straight, because that's what it takes to manage my goals to my standards, and continue my career trajectory. I do this for much much less than 10 million a year. :lol:
It's not the hours for me it's the message, and the timing of the message.
Also, dont forget there are a lot of highly competitive people in the coaching world, and a lot of them WANT to work as much as possible because they are young and ambitious and they want to get to that next rung up in their career trajectory as fast as possible.
There are also players that are so close to making their dreams come true that they eat, drink, shite, sleep, football 24/7 because they know it's what it takes to make the NFL and become millionaires.
Nobody at this level of pay or competition is shying away from working long hours... the ones that get it are actually wanting to work harder.
Kirby Smart immediately after beating the ever living shite outta Bama in the SECCG looked directly into the camera and said "these boys are ready to practice right now, that's the kind of team we got, they love to work."

It’s people stuck in a bubble who can’t see that the bubble has popped and the world is different.
Every team left in the playoff a round ago were all from the Saban Tree. Every one of them except..., you guessed it Bama.
How is that a "bubble pop" or a different world ?
I'll say it again just the same as the Bear said it - "the same things win that always won." The teams that win it all will be tough, and ready to brawl in the trenches.
Sabans 08 team was a mix of inherited 3 stars sprinkled with a couple five stars, and those boys showed up and MAULED people in the trenches. Andre Smith, Mike Johnson, and Glen Coffee - EVERYONE in the staduim knew we were gonna run left and NOBODY could stop it.
Those boys damn near beat one of Floridas best teams ever led by Urban and Tebow. The 09 team came right back with that game circled and curb stomped the shite outta the best team UF has ever fielded.

Man, maze played for cig when cig wasn't in a position to run shite. Literally an assistant or something. Was also like 15 years ago. GTFO with that shite. Cig in charge now... does he sound soft to you ? Get real
I wonder what DeBoer and Grubb would have dreamed up to F-up Bryce.

There are some people here that it’s just pointless to talk to,
I hope you're not aiming that at me.
Im ready to discuss any ideas you have about rushing for less than 2 yards a quarter for 12 quarters straight without it meaning this team is soft AF.
On 4th and 1 on the wrong side of the fifty this idiot is running gadget plays because he knows his team is too soft to line up and get a yard with their season on the line.
Alabama had -7 yards rushing vs Georgia. Negative 7
Alabama if you remove Daniel Hills ONE explosive play of 30 yards Bama had -2 yards vs Oklahoma
Alabama had 23 yards rushing vs Indiana
So... minus Daniel Hills one explosive 30 yard run Alabama had 14 yards rushing in the last 12 quarters of football.
Simple math will tell you that's less than 2 yards rushing per quarter in the last three games of the year.
S O F T !

Coach Cig, "You cant be a nice guy with my job"

Coach Cignetti-
"Sometimes you know they are ready to play, and sometimes especially after winning- support staff, coaches, players, trainers, etc. are all relaxed and happy with themselves and I've got to make sure they are ready to play the next game... my job is to make sure they all have the right mindset and they are ready to play, and it's not always fun (to demand excellence) ... but you gotta do what you gotta do (to win at a high level)
You see snowflakes... tough coaches that demand and teach excellence will never go away. There may be fewer of them, but the really successful ones will carry on and they will whip the shite out of the Kayla DeBoers of the world.
Tough, gritty men that know what it takes to be champions will never totally disappear. It's passed down from father to son, and from coaches to future coaches. (Saban = Cig)
I continue to be in total dismay that Byrne would go out and hire the Anti-Saban.
Kaylas first week he said something like "coaches are gonna get to go home at a decent hour and spend time with their families." lol
He's soft folks, and his football team is soft.
