Nick Saban had been a head coach for 12 seasons across 4 teams including a NFL HC by the time he got to Bama. He was also an assistant with Belichick in Cleveland.
He was 55. He probably had a better understanding of what he needed to win.
Lanning is 40 and he’s been a HC for 4.5 seasons. He made a bad OC hire. It will get fixed this offseason.
I have a major unpopular opinion. Before you crucify me, yes Drew needed to be fired without a doubt and this was the game you do it.
After watching the film against Illinois this is the third week in a row where QB play has been atrocious. I don’t know if thats Drew and staff failing to teach these kids when they install the plan, or if its the players, or if it’s the QB coach, or what. It’s been OL and QB issues for several weeks now. OL finally had a good day, and QB was all over the map. Is that play design and OC? Plays a part but every play is different.
At this point the dysfunction had gotten to be too much and he needed to go before you lose the locker room. But I have to imagine if Dante was out there that this would not have happened this way. At least not mid season.
My unpopular opinion is that he was scapegoated. I think it needed to happen because a place like Oregon shouldn’t have gambled on that position. You need the best in the country if you’re trying to win a championship and have the $ investment that you do. You cannot gamble. That’s why he wasn’t the guy. Was the offense awful? Yeah. But don’t be shocked if it doesn’t magically get fixed next week. He was part of the problem I doubt he was THE ONLY problem.
This needed to happen to not lose the locker room and the player’s faith in the staff. You can’t preach accountability without having backing behind it. Unfortunately, that’s the way the dice roll. We’ll see what comes of it, but as fans we all need to chillout and let them hire the best possible candidate this off season because this year is not going to get better, at least not in a meaningful way. Again don’t expect the offense to get a whole lot better and don’t immediately call for the interim OCs head next game. It’s very possible that it’s going to be bad until there are new faces in the building.

This was easily the best the OL played all season. That’s what’s so frustrating about the offense today.
Replying to @geoffschwartz
I think he’s earned the ability to wiff on a hire but it’s time to move on now and the oline is much more of a mess than anyone thought
Yeah they could still make the playoffs as they split the OL out wide and proceed to go backwards while down 14-10 going into the 4th.
I’m sorry but what the fuck is this broadcast?
