Look at the time. That's all for this session. Come back in 2 weeks and we'll pick it up from where we left off. Off the couch.
Seriously- what does Saban now and Fulmer in the late '90's have in common? They could recruit. Saban's recruiting makes Kiffin look like Einstein. Fulmer looked good too. Jimmy's and Joe's beat X's and O's. Sometimes being a salesmen isn't all bad.
I actually agree with some of what you said. And I too don't like playing not to lose. But saying (at this stage) CBJ will never be an elite coach is a little out there. I know the way that game ended P.O.'d many. I don't see it as the death Knell.
In spite of the loss, the stadium and fans were awesome. It's hard to imagine a recruit there, witnessing all that, would say " I'm not coming here because he kicked a field goal rather than go for a TD". I think it's too early to post a diatribe yet. Let the season play out, get 1 or 2 more top 5 recruiting classes, and then if he can't get it done, show him the door. We still lack depth. It's hard for some to realize this is still a work in progress. Derrick Dooley left a dumpster fire. Instant gratification isn't going to happen this season.
Next session, after Florida game. If we lose there, you won't be alone in venting.
