Sounds like Saban is feeling a little butt hurt over the way OM played a very physical game, no matter what the scoreboard said. I think he underestimated?
Is it possible that Bama didnt sputter? Is it possible that they just played a underestimated decent team? Same for Mizzou?
I agree totally with Poppa. Dooley did come into one hell of a mess. As an Ole Miss fan i can understand a situation. If we are 6-6 in our third year under our new head coach i wouldnt be ready to jump ship. If Nick Saban dropped dead today (god forbid) i'd still expect Bama to go 12-0 next season cuz there is sooooo much depth and talent there. Recruiting is everything in the SEC and if you are a "lowly" team its gonna take longer than three years in my humble opinion. Every 5 star in the southeast wants to go play for Bama or LSU. Just sayin.
