Title: ‘They’ve Gotten Soft’: Analyst Sounds Alarm Over College Football Giant’s Identi Post by: ricky023 on April 04, 2026, 05:15:16 PM https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/news/they-ve-gotten-soft-analyst-sounds-alarm-over-college-football-giant-s-identity-alabama-crimson-tide
This may be a truthful statement but I think CKD needs up to 4 seasons to get to that NCG like he wants with his players. I do think our O-line and Special teams needs to improve. I hope injuries do not kill us this year and I hope our 4th Program gets back right. RTR!

This ain't Rutgers where people are happy with 8 or 9 win seasons.

This ain't Rutgers where people are happy with 8 or 9 win seasons. I was not disappointed in year 2 under CKD. Yes, we opened with terrible loss to FSU and a late season home loss to Oklahoma when we were the better team. We were the #1 seed in the SECCG but lost to UGA who had better talent than us. We made the playoff and got revenge on Oklahoma. Indiana was unbeatable the day they played us and was the #1 team by all measures. Making the playoff was a success IMO. I expect us to be improved again this year. Question: If you think CKD is on the hot seat, who do you think we could get that is better?

Question: If you think CKD is on the hot seat, who do you think we could get that is better? pmull, I must agree on all points and I don't want another coach for a while. My reasoning being that CKD could have went to Nichigan and he wanted to stay here and to me that loyalty is something to be taken lightly. RTR!

I wasn't disappointed in this year's team either. I figured it would take about 3 years or so for CKD to find his legs, and I think he is on track for that to happen. I think our fan base, who expects perfection every year, would create the narrative of the hot seat; real or perceived. The other variable in all of this is the NIL and the portal. I know Saban had a very favorable impact on Trump, and he is doing things to try to reel some of that in, at least with the portal. We'll see where that goes. IMO, today's college football, if you can call it that anymore, is unrecognizable. The brakes need to be applied at some point.

RTR!
