Bama turning into Nebraska

It is impossible to replace a legend. Time will tell if Deboar is the man or not.
You mean when other teams are allowed to pay players they’re struggling? Oh and losing their legendary coach haha
His QB is a problem. The inmates are getting control of the asylum. He’ll need to shake things up. Their locker room has a bit of entitlement
Doesn’t mean it’s not true. I can just hear the towel boys whining in the shadows “this isn’t how Saban did it”
Saban was a generational coach. He stepped away at the perfect time. You never want to be the guy AFTER the guy. Deboer can average 10 wins per year, and their spoiled fans are going to be super unhappy.
It is near impossible for a program to win at the highest level forever. Saban is the best HC in recent history…quite possibly the GOAT.
Will Alabama have 20 years of suck like Nebraska? I highly doubt it.

Who knows. If you are old enough to remember, Bama had a lot of suckage for 25 years after Bear Bryant retired and like us flipped coaches often. While they had some good teams during that 25 period they never found a long-term coaching solution to replace Bear until Saban.

Don't know if it was quite as bad of a 20 year stretch as us, but I remember some pretty average to shitty football with multiple different spare coaches between Bear Bryant and Nick Saban. In fact, they are kind of one of the only example that gives me hope that we can eventually get back on top too.
I think bama had great coaching and a good ole boy network that got nil to players before nil..
now that nil is legal I'm not too sure many can afford to have a bench full of 5 stars sitting on their hands..
there will still be top teams but maybe not with the strangle hold on top talent.
because other teams can pool thier money and chip away at them benches, one at a time.
the trick seems to have enough horses with the right coaching, them 2 things

Huh? I said they had some good teams in that 25-year stretch of coach flipping but ask any Alabama fan to list their favorite coach during that lengthy span. Most of them probably couldn’t name one.
And of course that infamous seven-year streak of ours only exists because our 2020 “warriors” chose to turn down a bowl invite. They were tired.

Yep, same as happened to Clemson. The only difference is Clemson got their comeuppance a little earlier because they hadn't compiled the depth that Alabama had
Saban got out while the gettin was good.
They're a "panicking and firing
