Nick Saban (ex-HC Alabama Crimson Tide)

It's not that "I can't support it by reportable facts" is funny on its own, it's that there is also a "Nick isn't happy" and a "Nick seems miserable."

No kidding? When does Nick ever appear happy?

I'm curious what could be so frustrating for Nick Satan at Alabama (other than losing to OSU in the first round of the playoff, tee-hee). Can anyone identify a program where he'd be less frustrated than at Alabama? Hell, they'd probably sacrifice a virgin for him down in Tuscaloosa if he asked for it. If he's frustrated now, try coaching somewhere that has a modicum of rules that must be followed.


That probably has something to do with it.
Imagine working in a very public role where people murder each other over disagreements stemming from your job... sure, they'll sacrifice a virgin to get wins. But if that fails and they don't get wins, they might be burning you at the stake next.
Sure, they'll hand you a 3 million house.... while you're winning.... stop winning though and they might burn it down one night or poison your trees.

You have a point. I sure as hell wouldn't want to deal with Alabama's fan base.

I doubt Coker plays that well all season. If he had showed that in practice he would have won the starting job in the spring and that would have been the end of it. They cut the field in half for him on most reads and gave him lots of easy throws. Oline looked meh compared to years past, but they do have some playmakers to get the ball.

Their D also looked like they're still having third down trouble.

What he lacks in agility, is made up in his trucking ability. TJ Yeldon was good, but I could never understand him starting over Henry last year.

He ran through several tacklers tonight without really slowing down. You gotta square him up or else he's gonna put tire tracks on your ass. Don't know if he's got hands, but if he does, the NFL is gonna love him...

Alabama completely dominated the line of scrimmage. How you can say you're unimpressed is confusing.

The Tide isn't as good as the Buckeyes, buthey nobody is.
I'm unimpressed because Alabama played an offensively impotent team and Wisky still kept it close for more than half the game. Just like I was also unimpressed with TCU for the same reasons. Wisky and Minny are in obvious down years, but two top 5 teams struggle with them...

Everybody gets a scare, and Minnesota and Wisconsin were quality opponents.

Alabama will do damage. I'm not sold on TCU. They were playing shorthanded with an already retooled defense, but their offense should have looked better than they did.
