College Football News, Rumor & Humor

Not a Dabo fan, but I’m definitely team Dabo on this one. However, it does come with the gig. Even some Bama fans have talked about how Saban’s washed and needs to retire and they’re #8 in the country.

2 national championships in the past 7 years and you have to go back to 2010 for the last time he didn't win at least 10 in a season. Yeah. Definitely fire him. I'm sure Clemson would be better with a different HC. 😂

And the Saban talk is comical. "It's been 2 whole years since he won a national championship and they're only 7-1 this year! Worse, they play way too many games that aren't over by halftime!" I almost feel sorry for whoever takes that job after Saban retires.

Dabo's quote of "some programs have expectations, Clemson (used to) has appreciation" is pretty spot on. Some may argue expectations are good, but man, imagine being an Alabama or Georgia (or Clemson or Ohio State) fan and thinking your season is a failure if you don't win the National Championship.

I remember the 90’s era Husker teams, and that whole fanbase thought it was a total failure of a season if they didn’t win the national championship. That 94 orange bowl, I thought people were going to kill each other, and had to hear about missed calls for months. Then when they lost to ASU in 96. I had threats of my back window getting busted out, amongst other things, since I had an ASU baseball sticker on there at the time. then had threats and side-eyed looks for having a Ralphie sticker on my car…two decades (+) since Nebraska has done **** in college football.

Fans are ridiculous sometimes…

I hope to get to that place with CU where not making the 12-team playoff is a failure. I actually believe that's going to happen. And I am willing to make a solemn vow right now that if we start a multi-year streak of 10+ win seasons and playoff appearances next year, I will kill with fire any talk of needing to move on from Coach Prime if he has a mediocre season after that. Fans can be nuts. I can barely fathom having success like that for over a decade and then losing belief in a coach who delivered it because there's a year of not being in contention or a couple years of not being as good as the peak teams. Same crap was thrown at Mack Brown at UT. Idots.

The greatest, most sportsman-like fans in all of college football. Actually, maybe all sports!

I have met some of those Bama fans over the years. Miserable to have any sort of football talk with those people.

What makes it even crazier is that Bama has been through this before.

They had Bear Bryant who was arguably the best coach of his era, won part or all of 6 national championships.

When he left Bama fans expected things to keep rolling, what kept rolling was coaches through the program because none came close to measuring up. Stalling won one NC, the rest had varying degrees of success or failure with guys like Mike Shula (10-23,) Dennis Franchione, Mike DuBose, Ray Perkins, and more.

If they think that somehow getting rid of Saban they will be better they are ignoring history.

I would hate to be the coach who follows Saban, or Kirby Smart, or Dabo, or a few of these other guys.

Although the millions those jobs pay makes failure a little easier to take.

Funny that people forget Alabama sucked for a while.

Suck being relative.

In that time period they had one coach with a losing record. They won the conference 3 times and one NC. All of which was far below the standards that Bama fans thought they had a right to.

I would love this more if there was a rule that no conference could place more than 2 teams in the bracket. Having 2 conferences make up half of bracket is nonsense IMO.

I assume you mean next year when realignment happens? It’ll be interesting to see when the rules change from 6 autobids to 5 and how the CFP committee weights the B1G and SEC over ACC and Big 12.

It’s more of a “I hate all of those teams (usually) so rooting becomes non-existent. But more so, I’ve culminated on college football after “rivalry week”, followed by “conf championship”, followed by 2 playoff games, followed by CFP Championship. In this format, we could literally see the same two teams play three times now. This just doesn’t excite me.

I find it weird that anyone who enjoys college football wouldn’t want to watch a survive and advance tournament format of the best teams in the sport.

So you don’t like these teams? OK? Would you rather watch their B squads (because their starters decide to sit out the bowl game) play in a meaningless bowl game with nothing on the line?

I love it in basketball. I'll watch both the UNC-Duke games even though I hate them both and then if I get that matchup again in the ACC and/or NCAA tourney I consider it a gift. Figure I'll love it just as much in football.
