Bill O’Brien ripped on social media following Alabama’s scoreless first half vs. Auburn

Bill O’Brien is in his first year as Alabama’s offensive coordinator. Even though the numbers say it’s going well, fans feel differently.
That only intensified on Saturday during the first half of the Iron Bowl, as Alabama was held scoreless and now trails 7-0 at the intermission.
As you might expect, Alabama fans weren’t thrilled with the first-year coordinator’s performance. Below, you can see the reaction to the first-half shutout on Twitter:

Bill O'brien going to be looking for work from half-time. Telling people he is being lined up to take over from Belichick again no doubt.

Doug Marrone and Bill O’Brien will go down as the two worst hires of the Saban era… behind Golding of course
