It's probably all part of Jimbo's plan. After the year aggy had last year vs blow shit sec teams, he knew the crazy expectations aggy would have for this season. And being a huge surly fan, he's well aware aggy hasn't had back to back conference winning seasons in 20 years. So how to take the money and run...
Get more money....
Reveal your new qb that throws more picks than tds...
If he goes down, showcase your backup QB who has more seasons with the team, who besides sucks worse, doesn't know a single play we run...
They should figure out on their own that even with my back to back, back to back, highly ranked recruiting classes, we are worse off than when I took over...
Hmm, this aggy, might need more. Figure out how to get the little bit of experienced talent we have left quit the team halfway through the season... Yeah, get a little bug in their head to save themselves for the next level...
Now to make sure we get mudholed even if some of them decide to play inspired. Time to piss off Saban... "Saban's my bitch!"
They're too aggy to catch on... Unless I let one in my house and they realize everything is already packed... That should get me ran out of town at the whistle of the final game. 9 a year for the next 9 years... Profit
