This was a tough loss but we can't forget that Auburn came in ranked 8. We knew it was going to be a fight and anyone who thought it was going to be easy was wrong. Our men played hard. Mond put up a good stat line. The D, while not as saucy as I like, held Nix to 100 yards passing.
Building our team is not happening in a day or a season. We have a top 3 coach with Jimbo and a top 10% qb with Mond. Stay cool and good things will happen.
O'Neal had from what I hear a bit of a meltdown. Don't H8 on him. He has been as vocal as anyone on this team. Remember "9 and 99"? He angry because of the growing pains.

Oneal needs to learn to do his job - not everyone elses.. simple as that. If im his coach, I preach on that or sit his ass - no matter how talented you are - you cannot be out of position

Mond put up a good stat line in the 4th quarter.

FIFY

*as a Junior QB playing at home, unfortunately good stats don't win games, especially when it's only one quarter of good stats

I don't know exactly what happened but IF he was asked to take a seat on the bench and instead quit on his team and went to locker room I'm not sure you can keep him on team. You can't quit on your team.
Jimbo would look weak if he stays on team and this is what happened.
Even if it sucks for him and the team there are some things you cannot do.

Sounds like he actually gives a s*** about how the team plays.

I'd be happier if Jimbo was less happier...



In contrast, here's Saban at the beginning of the post game conference after Bama beat Georgia in the SEC Championship last year...
