BamaGrad03 0 Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 So you're going to use ESPN -- the biggest bunch of "in the moment" jumpers in the world, the unmitigated kings of overblown hyperbole -- as the "proof" of your contention that Skeletor is a great defensive coach? I laugh in your general direction.According to ESPN football didn't exist until Pete Carroll invented it. Reggie Bush is better than Bo, Herschel and Barry combined. They waste hours on Barry Bonds. Their "analysis" is shoddy at best. The only thing ESPN is good for is giving scores. Well, it looks as my rambling for the last two days has more credibility than it did before. I mean...sure...their story on how good our defense is doesnt carry as much weight as YOU saying its no good. But its better than nothing. Its not like they saw my posts over here and through some Bama conspiracy decided to help me out and write a story on it. ESPN doing a story on our defense surely doesnt weaken my position. Where's all the other stories about how the media is overhyping how good our defense was the last two years? Ill take ESPN in my corner over nothing. Dont you find it odd, Galen, that EVERY SINGLE TIME i have actual backing by either the AP poll, the coaches poll, an ESPN analyst or someone else saying (or voting) something in Bama's favor...you always come back with the obligatory "You REALLY gonna trust those over the hill coaches?" "You REALLY gonna listen to what a bunch of desk jokies say?" Well, Galen...i find it awfully convienent that im not allowed to reference RECOGNIZED polls or media figures for my arguments...but you never give me someone credible enough to satisfy your tastes...that is except for your obviously unbiased opinion.

IMO As the Behr said, "Defense wins Championships".....How many Championships have they won in the past two, three, four years? If they really had of had that Nationaly ranked top 5 Defensive team, they would have won the big games. Thats all I have to say about that.

Six candidates for the top assitant coach in all of college football. Only 3 defensive Cordinators. Wow...thats very....average of him.

Kines is a mediocre coach, but he's the best you've got. I'm glad you guys have him. I don't want a coach with his philosophy on the sidelines of a team I support. He's been around a long time. That's really all he has going for him. He's been fired from more places than Larry Brown's ever coached. His reputation nationally is a bend-but-don't-break coach. That is the hallmark of his defensive scheme. Give up yards but don't give up the "big play". Good offense (as is proven over his entire career) torch his jurassic defensive schemes. Just because the guy coached Fred Flintstone in the Bedrock Bowl doesn't make him a genius. It just makes him old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaGrad03 0 Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 Interesting since there was a 7 page article about how groundbreaking Texas Tech's #1 ranked pass offense was leading into the cotton bowl. And we abused them. Would you consider Tech's offense 'good'? Or is Auburn the only one allowed in that category? Why dont you read what Spurrier had to say about our defense after they got abused by us this year? He's a pretty good offensive mind isnt he?

Guess they dont know what they are talking about either huh Galen? 236768[/snapback] One season doesn't make a career, BG. What part of "benefitted from a senior-laden class" do you fail to understand? He had a good season last year. Nobody's denying that in the least. But if you have a career .200 hitter who has one season where he hits .335 and is up for MVP, do you redefine his entire career and declare him a superstar? Or do you judge him by his entire career? Kines is a knockaround DC. Been a lot of places, done an average job in all of them. If it helps you sleep to take his best season and bestow the crown of genius on him, then go right ahead. I'll save this for when you want him fired in a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kines had ONE good year. Nobody is saying Bama didn't have a good defensive year last year. But nobody is rushing out to crown Skeletor as some defensive visionary. He had a lot of decent, experienced players. They made him, he didn't make them. One season doesn't turn pumpkin into a coach. It's still a pumpkin.

AU2much2handle 0 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 If you were stranded on an island and hadnt had anything to eat for lets say 10 days. On the tenth day a goose flies over and craps at your feet, how good would that goose crap look. Probally look like steak if you ask me. If you dont have much to choose from even a nice warm pile of goose crap can satisfy your taste as steak. Joe kines just happens to be surrounded by starving people and he is the nice warm pile of goose crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, maybe ... {guffaw} ... a head coaching offer is being prepared right now. In contrast, AU's coordinators may be gone after next season. I'm willing to bet money Borges' next season at AU will be his last before he's offered a head coaching job somewhere. If Muschamp does as well as expected he could be in the same boat.
