    Never in my life did I see us losing to Kentucky and Vanderbilt in the same season, Napier is over his head here. The playing calling has been horrific and he has been out coached all year long

    Our best days are over for this program. The sooner we can accept that, the better. It’s over.

    Not ready to fire him, as I do believe he deserves a chance. But I have to admit, this game has me very concerned. He was very outcoached today. And his team had no emotion to start the game. How can he had not have them ready to play?

    Very bad optics.

    We looked completely inept today.

    Muschamp had the 23 season ending injuries excuse in 2013.

    Napier kicked players off this week and said it was for the culture and greater good.

    Again, horrendous optics.

    This, and our last 3 coaching hires, is what happens when you hire middle of the road candidates instead of swinging for the fences.

    Sunbelt Billy needs to hire an OC AND DC or buh bye Billy.

    I am not ready to boot Billy but think he must be told to hire an OC/play caller and hire a new DC- that defensive scheme may work in the SunBelt but not against SEC speed and talent

    Recruiting is good.

    But if he doesn’t change his play calling and clock management he is toast.

    We are almost at the “demand an OC” stage

    Yes, I believe it is too small of a sample size to do anything drastic but man that was a pathetic coaching job and one that could haunt him if things really go sour as in getting thumped by F$U, losing a crap bowl game badly and the recruiting class falling apart!

    While the loss sucked it's not the end of the world. Just a reminder, in his first year at Alabama Nick Saban lost to Louisiana-Monroe in Tuscaloosa.

    Sad to see how some of you accept what this program has turned into
