OK CLASS LETS ALL REPEAT:
"WELL COACHED TEAMS DON'T SHOOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT
When you people say stuff like "it's not Goldens fault that x dropped a pass or y fumbled or q threw an INT". Yes it is. He's been here four years and we still have tonnnnns of mental errors, concentration errors, conditioning problems, fundamentals lacking, poor depth, and on and on. Thats on the head coach
So when Amari Cooper dropped a few key passes last week that let Miss St stay in the game, it was Saban's fault? When 3 Bama players bounced off of Prescott, it was Saban's fault? When Blake Sims finds an open WR, but overthrows the ball out of bounds, that is Saban's fault?
Of course it's Sabans fault. Just like it was Randy's fault when Jacory threw fifty million picks a year. You bring the kids in and coach them up to tackle, be in condition, and protect the ball. The elite coaches over the course of a season will have minimal mental errors and mistakes from their players. The ****ty ones, like Al Golden and Randy, are unable to get their players to execute.
Do you understand what the job of a coach is? It is, above all, to teach players to execute. If your players are incapable of executing, you've failed your primary job.
