I will continue to make excuses for Butch Jones...

[Ten_Titans]

So how do you stop the slant smart guy?

Ohh ohh pick me!!

You stop putting linebackers in man on wide outs.

Which Jancek never stopped doing and it is why their offense worked.

...because those excuses are completely, 100% legitimate. This is Year Zero.

Deal with it.

Uh, You deal with it!

The sad thing is that Florida actually was beatable this year. We just Dooleyed away that opportunity.

Of the players didn't respect Dooley and (some people are posting) they are sling respect for Butch, maybe the

**** in one hand and wish in another

See which one fills up first

We should have blown SA out

Make all the excuses you like. It doesn't change the fact that Butch had a far superior talented team than South Alabama. He took a 20 point favorite and hung on for dear life.

Deal with that.

No, that's South Carolina's motto.... Our's is "We don't have talent"...

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

No, it absolutely does change everything. Some of you have no basic understanding of context. See how "bad" a coach's decisions look when he isn't suddenly working with a poorly constructed roster with horrible QB play.

Any coach can win with great talent.

 

[NeylandArmy]

That's the stupidest card that is always played comparing Saban's first year. He won a NC at LSU before he got there.

Stupidest, oh the irony

 

[NeylandArmy]

How many NC did Saban have before he got to Bama?

I didn't see any NC coaches lining up for this gig, did you?

 

[Other_Guy]

Yay game 5 and they're already jumping ship! Alright!

To the poster who said Saban would look bad... it doesn't matter if he was already a proven coach. I agree with you because Saban lost to LA Monroe and Butch didn't lose an OOC cupcake. I'm not confident in the OC, but my gosh this team is just bad.

 

[Tennessee_JED]

False. Just look at Kiffin last year at USC.

You don't know how many times I've heard this at work from Alabama fans at work.....

Maybe one day ill get to brag about my football team again.

Opportunity is No where......

 

[UTRavens]

Any coach can win with great talent.

Not every coach has the same ability to acquire that talent, though. So far, Butch is doing a masterful job in that department.

No, it's year 5.

I like the coaches that get the most out of what they've got. Then improve what they've got. Then get the most out of that. Hope Jones is one of those.
