I hope he won't either and think the odds of him doing so are close to zero. But Re: "....he’s had some rough luck on bad officiating, injuries, and of course player/NIL drama. If he wants to be great, he’s going to have to overcome those things,..." How do you control the officials, injuries...

Lanning walked into a program with money to buy the best players in the country. That always helps.

Don't think it will happen. It would have to be a package deal (White and Heupel) and a LOT of money.

One of the most stupid things I've read on here.

Historically they've had a good defense and they may have some good players but from what I've seen that their defense is mediocre at best this year.

Some of those drops should definitely have been made but some were difficult because of where the ball was thrown. I asked a friend who was an NFL receiver what he considered a throw that "hit the receiver in the hands". He said "waist to face" without arms fully extended, i.e. too high, too low...

Re: "while it's true that heupel inherited a mess just like every coach in the country to comes into a situation where the previous coach was fired" Name one that came into a situation like Heupel did.

Yes, we were fortunate that year because we had a QB who could make rapid and appropriate reads, throw accurately and run well. That allowed for the rapid pace of play. We haven't had that since.

Yes, all things considered. I'm 84 and can't remember any SEC program that was in as bad of shape as this one was when he became head coach. We were on probation, several players had left and we had scholarship limitations when arrived and for several years after.

Saban is out. When he realized NIL would result in closing the talent gap of teams he decided to quit. He could no longer have 5 star players, three deep at every position like he had enjoyed for so long.

Didn't like the call but if properly thrown would have been a TD. Was thrown low, slow and inside. Should have been with more zip, high and outside.

As much as I hope we win and as much as I hope he plays the best game of his ability tonight I would still put Chambliss ahead of him and Simpson.

If I heard it correctly Saban, who recruited Simpson, mentioned 3 quarterbacks as the best in the country this morning. Sayin (tOSU), the Indiana QB and Pavia. From what I've seen today I would put Chambliss in that group and definitely ahead of Simpson. Addendum...he mentioned the OU QB also.

This may be correct but Jam Miller is plenty fast. .........10.7 100 meters (track)

Every week there's at least one poster that thinks we're gonna win handily regardless of who we're playing.
