For starters, you can never underestimate the drive of your opponent. UK had an opportunity to beat GA and TN in the same season. You think they were going to roll over for us?

i never once i expected uk to roll over us. I did however expect a lot more out of our offense. they had their chances to put it away and didn't and thank goodness our D got lucky on a delay of game call and held 'em. They knew UK was gonna be jacked up to play us, we should've been jacked up too.

Yeah, I thought we were pretty well outplayed by UK. They missed a PA and a 34 yd FG; if made they could have kicked a FG at the end for the win.

Aside from that, they outgained us by about 80 yds.

If's and buts, candies and nuts. Tennessee had a FG blocked that "could" have rendered UK's GW-ing field goal useless and had LT not been blown up and fumbled, UK wouldn't have went up at the half.

We can play this game all night.

I'm with you that Tennessee didn't play well though.

Hey Notre Dame boy, I heard you are going to add the Coast Guard to next year's schedule of Army, Navy, & Air Force. You might even be able to get a game with the Mexican Border Patrol/National Guard Reserve. Now run along and pleasure yourself to your Lou Holtz posters.

great answer there. So Cutcliffe has no blame being our OC that our running game sucked? Just like he did 10 years ago, he ran the same plays. If he's so great, why did our offense look so lackluster against one of the worst d's in the country last saturday?

surely you're not rehashing the same tired old arguement about our lack of a running game or Coach Cut's lack of offensive imagination...do we really have to be subjected to these same statments over and over again?

does that sound familiar? it was the same issue you had when I brought some things up....would you like some hot sauce on your crow?

The Times Free Press's Mark Weidmer has a commentary this morning saying the Tide should hire Cutcliffe.

An excerpt...
Mostly, the anti-Cutcliffe crowd will point to his final year at Ole Miss, after Manning graduated and the Rebels went 4-7, which apparently was enough to fire a guy whose teams had won four of five bowl games and 44 of 73 games overall.

Those same critics will argue, with some justification, that Cutcliffe left successor Ed Orgeron with a bare cupboard, further proof that Coach Cut is only as good as his quarterback.

And all of those arguments have a certain amount of merit. But recruiting to Ole Miss isn’t the same as recruiting to Alabama, which has a 92,000-seat stadium, a campus out of "Gone with the Wind" and no worse than the second most storied history in all of college football, behind Notre Dame. For all those who say the Tide’s stature isn’t what it used to be, it could be equally argued that only a program as powerful as Alabama could survive five coaching changes in 10 years, plus a couple of major scandals in that time frame, and still log three 10-win seasons since 1999. The lesson isn’t how bad Bama’s become, but how good the Tide have remained in the face of numerous obstacles.

And before anyone makes too much of Cutcliffe’s pedestrian head coaching record, consider that the last Tide coach to win a national championship — Gene Stallings — had a losing career record at both Texas A&M and the NFL before taking over at the Capstone.

No, it wouldn’t be a sexy hire on the order of Spurrier or Saban. But the Tide doesn’t need sexy. It needs solid. It needs character and class and substance. It needs Cutcliffe, the last of Bear’s Boys likely to look upon the Tide program as a dreamland rather than a nightmare.

I doubt Cutcliffe would be interested. He had a heart attack and surgery a couple of years ago and has been rebuilding his health.

Thats the most stressful job with the higest expecations and most fickle fans. I think Cutcliffe will take another head coaching job at some point, just not that one. Its not worth it.

Always wondered this, too... but didn't wanna sound ignorant by not knowing and asking. Thanks for taking the bullet, THCBM! :)

Capstone.

University of Alabama President George Denny, in 1913, coined the term in a speech.

"The University of Alabama is the capstone of the public system...."

Needless to say, the name stuck....

You got that right!! They now have a thread in there that reads "Who would coach Bryant want?" Let the man go.
