It makes as much sense as any of your posts. Your refusal to listen to a coach that is by any estimation one of the greatest of all time is indicative of the fan base and obviously the attitude the administration in Knoxville takes, hence, the state of your program.

Enjoy. Keep hating. The Bama ride is far from over.

We don't think he's a bad coach or anything. We just don't like d**kheads.

They lost to UF because they had 6 TURNOVERS!! They almost lost to USA because of....duh duh daduh....TURNOVERS. Are you blind or not very smart?

I can't recall how many points did they score off of turnovers?

 

[iluvsmesumdooley]

A perfectly executed play is one where everyone is blocked, routes are successful, and on and on. So, the defense would not also be perfect. Capiche?

In high school, every play, if executed perfectly, would score a touchdown. Not so much in college.

As far as Saban, you may not care what he says, but he's right. Your envy destroys you, and your comments illustrate your pettiness.

Envy? Of Alabama? Outside of football, what would we be envious about? THIS I can't wait to hear!opcorn:

No you are wrong if we had His quality of players our execution would be great.

That's my point...? Bad players = bad execution.

I still will never forget the troy game last year. Almost made me go insane. still have flashbacks to that day.

Wish people were not so in love with Nick Saban...........I as a Vol fan get sick and tired of hearing his name!

Sorry, if it would have been any other successful coach I would have posted as well. However, I'm not sorry if people don't want to listen to a smart man's advice. :/

As a Dolphin fan, I hate Saban. He abandoned our team and ran back to college football so the could be successful a lot quicker than he would have trying to rebuild a franchise in the NFL.

As a Vols fan, I don't necessarily hate Bama. I realize the older guys despise them but for me and many of the younger fans Florida will always be our most hated rival.

Bama wins because they are well coached players who are disciplined and do their damn jobs. Saban is a good coach who has figured out a formula for winning that works for him.

It also doesn't hurt that every year he gets to play LSU and A&M while poor old Les Miles gets stuck playing at least 4 or more high quality teams. I am a supporter of the idea that everyone in the SEC should play 9 conference games.

They only gave up 7 points off of turn overs in this game, so you can't really say that they almost lost because of turnovers.........

Run the damn ball!!!! That should have been called more.[/QUOTE

When your averaging 7 yards a carry and you have a 24 point lead with a qb who is struggling terribly to complete even easy passed!
It makes zero!!!!!!!!!! Sense to do what we did!!
It seemed like we wanted them back in it!

Run the Rock! Nuff Said

 

[Smokeyman]

What if the offense executed perfect and the defense executed perfect on the same play ?

Then u get NFL football.

 

[1985Vols]

I agree with Saban but you have to coach your players to execute the plays correctly. Noticed a lot of guys out of position to make the play. It was most noticeable when our two receivers ran into each other on crossing routes.

So you want Azzani to hold their hands when they run their routes? Players must be held accountable for their mistakes and fans must realize our talent on this team is lacking, especially when it comes to speed.

Who really gives a sh** what Nick Saban says?????

You're wrong. You have to be able to throw in order to set up the run. If you can't, they'll load the box to stop it. That's precisely why our offense is hurting right now. We need to throw it more. The only problem is that we can't.

 

[branchvol]

Uh how much more did you want to run?

I say run it till they stop it. we could of chewed up a bunch more clock & kept em off the dang field.

 

[Pig Skin]

Not an exact quote just going off what I heard him say on tv. Something like this:

"Some people say it's the plays you call, but it's the execution of the plays."

I'll let Saban speak for himself. :hi:

I am watching Hightower (Bama) tonight play well. I beleive New England also plays a UF linebacker too (cant think of his name right now but he was a star)...and both were all SEC with less speed than AJ. Our linebackers (Brewer and Sapp) are fast. Our ends are fast. OUr starting Dbs are fast...so its not all about speed. Its about discipline (coach likes to call it eye discipline) meaning read the play and react. Slow players that diagnose plays correctly play fast. Fast players that do not play slow. This current team was poorly coached for three years. Old habits are hard to break....give it time. I expect we'll get better each week. We'll be beating Vandy, Mizzou and Kentycky handly by the end of the year and we'll be well coached in our bowl game.

It would result in off setting penalties epper:

 

[VolFanHenry]

What if the offense executed perfect and the defense executed perfect on the same play ?

The interwebz would implode.

With all due respect, and I do mean all due respect, the words that come out of Nick Saban's mouth ain't worth a velvet painting of a whale and a dolphin getting it on.

Guess he's an 'actions speak louder than words' kind of guy for you.

Well, when you have WALK ONS playing everywhere....you are gonna have breakdowns :crazy:

UT won yesterday. Last years group would have likely lost in that same scenario.

were in the same situation vs Troy I believe and they won.
