The reviews are in, and they are Godfather awful. Godfather III, that is.
"Irresponsible … Disingenuous … Makes no sense … Does a disservice to the casuals who see this thinking it means something important."
What positively inept attempt at absolute cinema inspired this level of vitriol? The following X post, written, directed and produced by yours truly, which premiered late Saturday night:
Your blowback came fast and furious. Your feelings didn't care about my facts. You made it clear that any implied comparison between Saban's first season as the Alabama coach in 2007 and Kalen DeBoer's debut this year is as misguided as the Crimson Tide's mismanagement at the end of both halves in its narrow escape against South Carolina.
You said "the cupboard was bare" when Saban arrived. You said DeBoer and Saban were handed the keys to completely different vehicles. "A Mercedes vs. a Chevette." "A Rolls Royce vs. a Subaru with 200k miles."
Surprisingly, no one said chauffeured limo vs. clown car.
Interesting that this debate broke out the day Mike Shula returned to his alma mater as a senior offensive assistant with South Carolina. Which makes this the perfect time to look more closely at the roster Saban inherited from Shula and the talent Saban left for DeBoer. The facts may surprise you. ...
