Supporters of Alabama football have provided opinions about what the team needs to do after last week’s loss.
Alabama fans were highly upset with the Crimson Tide dropping a game to Vanderbilt, but now everyone is moving on.

Bryant-Denny Stadium will have fans for an early matchup on Saturday at 11 a.m. at South Carolina looks to hand the Tide a second straight loss.
Kalen DeBoer has to assure fans he was the right hire as Alabama’s next head coach, but Nick Saban feels DeBoer has done a good job. In an interview with Pat McAfee, Saban targets another area of the team that has to step up.
The seven-time national champion feels in order for Alabama to be successful, DeBoer message needs to be carried out more through all the coaching staff.
“I think Kalen has been doing a good job of getting the right message to the team but everybody in the organization has to reinforce that because they’re the people that sit in the meetings every day with the players, and they got to impact that,” Saban said Thursday on the Pat Mcafee show.
Saban is correct in this process.
DeBoer is preaching the message, but it takes both coordinates, assistant coaches, support staff members, and everyone else to constantly funnel that message to the players. The communication must be exceptional for all to understand the mission.
If the communication improves, Alabama should be a contender in the College Football Playoff.
The journey to show that the loss to Vanderbilt does not downgrade the program starts this weekend.
