The Monday mailbag is no place for 'po-dump' football teams.
CBS reporter Jenny Dell gifts a cigar to Alabama head coach Nick Saban after an NCAA college football game against Tennessee, Saturday, Oct. 21, 2023, in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Cigars are a tradition for the victor of the Alabama-Tennessee series.
I’m assuming that po’ is short for poor. As for dump, well, there are plenty of connotations with that word and none of them pass the smell test. DeBoer projects an even-keeled disposition at all times. That wasn’t Saban’s way, and my opinion based on the evidence is that players on this team are used to being pushed differently.
DeBoer presents himself to the team in the same way measured whether it’s a monumental victory against Georgia, a loss to Vanderbilt or a struggle-win against South Carolina. I’m not saying DeBoer’s way is wrong. For a team in transition, however, it might be a little confusing.As I read your , I was having horrific flashbacks to the Mike Shula era in which the same issues that you raised permeated through Shula’s time at Alabama.
This is not the Bear Bryant era anymore. I think Alabama football will be just fine. Coach DeBoer has been successful everywhere he has been, and Alabama won’t be any different. It may take this year to work out the kinks, but his record speaks for itself. I don’t care if Bama wins by one point as long as we win. If we lose by one point it’s a loss, correct? Everyone needs to calm down. Bama is 5-1!Wise words all around. I followed up with Coach Mac, and he’s also a retired Marine.
Doesn’t it take courage to go for two? If Harsin had gone for two in overtime of the 2022 Iron Bowl, then he still might have a job. If Florida coach Billy Napier had gone for two at the end of regulation on Saturday against Tennessee, then maybe Lane Kiffin stays put at Ole Miss after this season. Perhaps we’ll never know.Stevie Wonder can see what is happening! The answers are clear: This Bama team is poorly coached, undisciplined and uninspired.
