AJ McCarron Drops TRUTH BOMBS After Kalen DeBoer & Alabama's LOSS To FSU!

So it’s NIL’s fault that these Alabama guys don’t play hard? How does the great Ryan Day get his guys to play so hard? Mike Norvell just bought a whole new football team this year. Not recruited and built, he bought them and they just kicked Alabama and DeBoers ass. If UWs players missed as many tackles as Alabama on Saturday it would be Judds fault on these bordes. The buck stops at the head coach and 9-5 isn’t good enough with all that talent.

Honestly, I have no idea about whose NIL rep is real or imagined. It's humorous to hear coaches whine about it before games like Gundy is doing, but in this case it's hard to to take too seriously. Whatever NIL limitations Alabama has because "only one billionaire" they have been recruiting at an elite level for years. At a bare minimum, I have to assume that Saban left the cupboards quite full.
I mean, the premise behind "but but NIL!" is about talent. Is someone arguing that Alabama just doesn't have access to talent now?
Come on. The team does not play with the edge they had under Saban. Saw a clip of some talking head that nailed it: you have to be an asshole, a murderer, a fucking dictator in that league. That's what works.
Goes back to @RaceBannon 's theory about Pete Carroll's approach maybe not working at a place like Alabama and Saban's not working at USC.
The southeastern US is different and it's certainly not the west coast. I doubt DeBoer makes anyone call him "Sir" down there but that's the culture.
I honestly doubt he's going to turn it around and go big like his predecessor. They'll win games and sneak into a playoff here and there but this feels like a 9 win run rate program now. The good news for KD and Alabama is that the SEC is not the old SEC so maybe I'm wrong.

Just like something Lane Kiffin said in a recent interview of his that I watched. He said when he went to work for Saban, all he had known was Pete Carroll's system, where you openly question the system all the time and have long conversations about how to handle things. He started questioning Saban and Saban brought down the hammer on him until he toed the line. But according to Lane, he didn't know any other way and so it was a massive culture shock for him.

DeBoer was a great fit for Worshington. Wouldn't say shit if he had a mouthful. Reserved Scandinavian.
Bama fans are freaking out about the players being loose and goofy. They were here too but they won

Thanks Taft!
At UW their goofiness would be embraced by the media and athletic dept

Bottom line is that there is more slack for mixed results at Washington - after '23 he would have easily survived many 8 and 9 win seasons before expectations started heating up his seat. That alone.
And Seattle > Tuscaloosa. IMO.
But, he left and has what he has on his hands.
