Glimmer of hope

[orange&green84]

Nick Saban lost to ULM in his first year at Alabama.

Psssst....Nick Saban had won a title at LSU prior to coming to Bama.

Also, Diaz has been around this team for 5 years now and has shaped this defense - a defense that allowed nearly 800 yards of offense today.

Manny, do what Dabo did after West Virginia chapped that ***.

Bet you were one of the “we want Florida “ crowd.

 

[orange&green84]

Lsu lost to Troy just a couple years before winning a natty...I think we’re right on track

You pick these outlier events and are banking merely on hope.

Michigan back in 2007 lost to App State at home signaling one of the hugest upsets in CFB history. Fast track 13 years, they haven't won anything of relevance during that time.

It was sarcasm!

Nope. I said our realistic expectations is 9-2 and be competitive in NY6 Bowl game.

That was sarcasm. Manny is randy golden richt all over again...

Neither one of those is happening..

 

[TpaBayFlyFisher]

UNC lost to Memphis Mike and his Noles......

 

[dstuart4]

We can get to nine wins, we're likely to face San Diego State in the Emeralds' Nuts Bowl (though I hear that Marshall Faulk won't be able to play) so I think we can be competitive and pull out a victory in the end.

We could have gotten to TEN wins..we all saw how that worked out...We are more than likely going to play a top 15 team in whatever bowl we are sent to.I fail to see ANY team in the top 15 we can hang with for one reason or another that’s in this group..

The 9-2 was the regular season before GT game got cancelled. I should've stated that before.

 

[TpaBayFlyFisher]

We are going to be the sacrifice to Coastal Carolina.........

 

[Negro-Wan Kanobi]

It was sarcasm!

Saban wouldn't hire Diaz to shine his shoes.

Whew. My bad.

 

[INT]

Dabo didn't get things rolling until after 3rd season. Just like the other poster said, Manny has that same opportunity in front of him. We see how he react.

Holy **** you guys are actually serious

 

[pyhooya]

Could you imagine putting Manny and Dabo in the same sentence

I can....... Dabo beat the **** out of Manny .... or .how about Manny dIAZ is nowhere near or ever will be the level of Dabo

 

[canesbaby]

LSU lost to Troy

Are you hearing about any fallout or consequences from the disaster we just saw today on defense or is Manny just going to chalk it up to a bad day?

Not defending Diaz but would make you have believed in Dabo was a championship caliber coach after having a 6-7 season in year 3 then getting slaughtered 70-33 in year 4? Is your nose so sensitive that you were able to smell that he ****ed excellence?

dIAZ is going to be no better than what he currently is..... he was never a good DC......here, UT or Miss St..... His players have no discipline....he wants his players to like him instead of being the boss(there is a difference) His dEFENSE beats up on inferior talent to pad the stats. Like most of his staff he is not qualified for his position

You didnt answer my question. Im not in Diaz's side. I'm just curious what would make you think Dabo was a championship caliber coach after year 4?

Anybody trying to compare dIAZ to dabo, saban,etc.. should just quit watching football.
