Dooley is responsible for everything. Sorry, it's a grown up world.

The gameplan worked for half the game. Not most. Especially on defense. Giving up 200+ yards in the 3rd quarter is not "working".

Actually, it was pretty much clear in the 2nd Quarter when they marched downfield on us and we had a nice goal-line stand. Our offense had sputtered by that point and that end of the half drive was preceeded by what would become the standard for the rest of the game:

3-and-out.

Dooley isn't playing QB, Dooley isn't playing RB, Dooley isn't playing Defense and making tackles, and Dooley doesn't have the magical power to go into people's minds and change them so they don't quit. Players loses games not the head friggin coach. ESPN knows what they are talking about when they said that we will finish 8-4 with a loss to UF. ESPN also said that we will make a Championship run in 2013. Be patient, give him time. This loss sucks balls I know. Give the man one more year it will be the end of his contract then we can talk about firing a coach.

Where was the time outs to coach up the squads and regain composure....to focus the kids and bring them back to the mentality of the 2nd quarter?

199% the head coaches fault!

Even if you assume (wrongly) that this is all the fault of the players, you must then ask the follow-up question: who was it that recruited these players, telling us all that he was going after "quality kids" that would do things his way? Either way, it falls squarely on Dools and his staff.

The only thing is, the leadership of the team. Lathers is a leader, Bray SHOULD BE. He acted like one when the game was close, but the whole team crumbled when their QB quit working too. He was showing relapses of the Kentucky game. He didn't want to be out there, his throws were lazy, he still had 9 minutes to score 2 times. When we scored on previous drives in 3 plays for 60+ yards. It wouldn't have been impossible, if he would have led a scoring drive, it would have got the defense back on their toes and could have stopped Florida. It didn't happen like this and we got down 14 and Bray quit.

If Bray quits change QBs. He had 2 ints and if not for Hunter breaking up some passed he could have had 4 ints. Some of them throws to the side the bench caught them.

So all of those great players just happened to show up at Alabama? I'm sure Nick had nothing to do with it and his wins are all a product of talent alone.

Coaches dont prepare the QB
Coached don't prepare the RB
Coaches don't prepare the defense
Coaches don't prepare players to tackle
Coaches don't prepare players to block
Coaches don't have the ability to create an eviroment where players quiting is not an option.

Did I sum up your argument? Really.

If an Army loses a war, is it not the General who is at fault? Is he not the one who teaches them to fight, is he not the one who motivates them, is he not the one who determines the battle strategy?

If their Lt's in the field quit, then yes, in essence it is his fault but he can't fight every battle. The point is the General has leaders in the field. We don't. The main guy that is supposed to be a leader, is a quitter.

Correct. And don't forget that he went undefeated before losing to Florida in the SECCG in his second season. He didn't have a stacked roster at that point.

That's about right....the millionaire in charge shouldn't be blamed for piss poor performance. I honestly don't see how some of you naive sheep are so stupid. It's amazing, it really is.

...and the fact that he's still allowed to quit and bring everyone else down with him falls on whose shoulders?

Please stop.

So Saban deserves no credit for winning since players win?

Other than surrounding himself with talented coaches who obviously can recruit. Not saying we don't have talent. This is the first year since fulmer we've had any depth. We'll have more next year. We have the talent it just needs to come together. The fans and media are just as responsible for this loss. They've spent the last two eeeks blowing up these players heads telling them how great they are,talking championships and blowouts. You've got to remember these are kids barely out of high school. Let the coaches tell them where they are. If you remember saban shut out the media his first two seasons for this very reason.

Actually, there is more truth to this than you realize.

Here's my take -

What if Dooley know's Bray sucks and gives up in the second half. What if he knows that and he still knows Bray is the best option?

I still think he needs time. I don't lay it on anyone. Not the coach, not the players. Tennessee just isn't a very good team for MANY reasons now. And I'm not sure we will know what they are.
