Re: [RollTideFan] checking off
Damn I hate to admit this but This Ainge kid is gonna be something specialhe's just a damn frosh and plays like a dang fifth year seniorHe's gonna make Peyton, Casey and the others pale in comparisonThat little ear ringed black boy better go find another place to play Was I the only one that saw Tennessee's QB change up the play call and the Alabama defense stayed in the same set up? We broadcasted our intentions and never switched to another scheme. That may have had something to do with the 2nd half offensive production for the viles. Hind sight is 20/20. Sunday morning quarterbacking is not good for anything but mourning a loss. I hate having to go through another year saying, We'll get em next year.

Arkansas got some little bullshit penalty, but nothing like we got. If I had to guess, they came up short due to signing too many JUCO's.

Re: [RollTideFan] checking off
What's wrong with blaming CMS? Franholio had it going on, no doubt about it. Some have criticized his recruiting while at Bama, but under the circumstances I can't imagine anyone else doing a better job. With all the uncertainty facing the program during his tenure, about all we could hope for was not to lose any legacy recruits. I can't imagine a Keith Brown, or D.J. Hall signing with Bama if they'd come along 3-4 years earlier. But I just think all that uncertainty provided Franholio with a convenient excuse for leaving.

Re: [RollTideFan] checking off
Jeff Todd wrote: What's wrong with blaming CMS? This is a tough question without an easy answer. There's several excuses as to why he shouldn't be blamed such as the fact he's still wet behind the ears as a head coach and he's still a victim of circumstances that were out of his control when he got the job. But the real rub, in my mind at least (and probably yours as well), is that an *experienced and successful* head coach would have a winning record over this 21 game period, whereby CMS has a losing one. One can blame the coaches he has on his staff, one can also blame it on *just plain bad luck* with injuries to key personnel during that 21 game period. CMS needs to make some staff changes and philosophy changes during this off season, no doubt. I seriously doubt either of those will happen. Franholio had it going on, no doubt about it. Some have criticized his recruiting while at Bama, but under the circumstances I can't imagine anyone else doing a better job.

I don't disagree with this theory, but all I was saying is just imagine if he had stayed for say 15 years and was happy and content to close out his career at ALABAMA. Bama would have dominated. How many times have we gone into places like Auburn and Knoxville and blew away those two teams like we did while he was here (throw in LSU as well). That gave all of us hope that Bama truly was on it's way back to the place it used to be. Nothing over the past 21 games has given us hope that that will happen any time soon. That is extremely frustrating. Yes everyone says be patient, but Fran showed us what could be done and he did pretty quickly.

Re: [RollTideFan] checking off
I defended Coach Fran to the all too bitter end. If he would have had the character and staying power that I believed him to have had, he would have stayed. But he didn't, so screw him. Maybe the powers that be should take a look at themselves and wonder why he left? Was it something in the administration? If so.are those people still in place? If so..why aren't they gone? If Fran had stayed and developed a true love for Bama instead of using us as a stepping stone, things would be looking up right about now. But he didn't.and things are not as good as they should be. One day they will be though. Until thenRolltide any damn way.
