OK, understand why you posted this thread. I agree with some parts of it. Honestly see some of this stuff as well. 5 year for the next head coach, sure, thats right as long as the next guy has some moxie and leadership. We start to see improvement on the field and in the recruiting wars. It does take time to rebuild or build a program. This program needs some form of leadership for the future. However, if your not seeing any improvement at all, its hard to stand and watch a team just mutter around and continue to get worse.
The message board crap, thats everywhere. Most programs have poster who will hammer a team or coach after a bad game. Alabama last week when A/M was testing them had fans questioning their program! Its college football. Fans are often not within any realm of common sense. If a recruit won't take the challenge of coming here and proving his worth or the teams worth, we don't need them. Players don't come to programs for the people like us, they come to play for a coach who can get them into the NFL. Saban has 3 deep at all positions and most are NFL bodies. Most will get a chance to play in the NFL. THey don't care that much about Bama and its roots. This is today in college football, not 1980.
