Alabama Fans Lost Their Minds After The Crimson Tide Fell To Ole Miss

On Saturday night/Sunday morning, Alabama fell at home to a really good Ole Miss squad, 43-37. It was kind of an uncharacteristic loss, because the Crimson Tide don’t allow 40+ points and turn the ball over five times at home all that often, but you can probably chalk it up to “Alabama was a little overrated and Ole Miss was a little underrated coming into this year.”

Still, Crimson Tide fans are really mad. Like, impossibly mad. So mad, in fact, that many of them are calling for something drastic, like having the administration axe head coach Nick Saban.

Now, Saban is a very good football coach – you can argue that he’s the best coach in all of college football – who has won a lot of games and a few national championships at Alabama. He’s so good at his job that he already has a statue of himself erected outside in front of Bryant-Denny Stadium, and he is the highest-paid coach in the entire sport.

Basically, firing Saban would be a bad idea. Some Alabama fans realize this…which is why they want the team to fire offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin instead.

Kiffin is a popular subject for criticism, because he’s had messy breakups with every team he’s coached for — dating all the way back to his days with the Oakland Raiders. Still, his offense put up 37 points and 503 yards on what is considered one of the best defenses in America, so a lot of this anger may be misplaced.

When it comes to fans at the game, their dismay wasn’t expressed solely through Twitter. Rather, they just looked hopeless.

Fortunately for all of these fans, the Crimson Tide play Louisiana-Monroe next week, so Alabama should win. Now, if the Warhawks somehow win next week, we’ll write this post again, only it will feature much more NSFW language.
