    That’s rational. The board is irrational so no that’s wouldn’t work either. They would say they’re tired of the coach speak.

    Saban. Watch one of his PG after a Bama loss.

    TV money? You’d be shocked what we are getting. We aren’t poor.

    I, for one, am ecstatic that you are not one of our players. What a terrible mentality to maintain.

    I thought we were going to beat a 2-6 team that scored 3 points on Miss State, especially having them at home, what with our black uniforms and Tom Petty as a rear defense.

    Funny, I've noticed a sharp decline in the number of soap box posters replying to posts like this that our expectations are too high.

    Is Billy more interested in teaching life lessons than winning football games?

    Honestly not sure whether to say yes or no?? Culture is everything to Billy, it’s the bedrock of his program. I’m certain he’s a very competitive guy, all coaches are. You play the game to win, period, he has to hate losing too, just like us. His body language on the sidelines lately has not been good, imho, I’ve watched him. He appeared to be both miserable and pissed yesterday. He tries hard to hide that though. He likes to be composed at all times, very buttoned up.

    What's he gonna say? My players suck? My assistants suck or I suck?

    I hate it for him, I like coach, let's face it, if he goes 0 - 5 to finish, he will not be around for all of 2024 if this pattern of coaching and playing continues into the 2024 season.

    I’d have to go back to September to see one of those. I think I’ll just catch one of Billy’s the next three weeks.

    It would be an improvement if Naps had Jone's win/loss record

    This was a game coach did not need to lose. The pressure will be terrific going forward.

    Maybe all the above. :D ….. I kid-I kid.

    He’s in a really bad spot now, and we’re likely not at rock bottom yet. :eek:

    That’s funny. Me too. So you’re saying that you see 9 or 10 wins next year? Let me guess. You think we’ll have 8 this year, right?

    I know, I see little chance of containing LSUs QB if he plays. Especially on the road.
    Or Mizzou and I consider Travis damn near unstoppable.

    Hope he can keep the class intact.

    First year or second year starters in a program is a lot different than players humming on all cylinders with 3-4 years in a program. First year QB, new DC on D, average to below OL, and to be honest a secondary that has been awful this year in terms of opponent completion percentage and deep pass plays
