Just for the record Saban with Kirby was peak Saban. He has already declined from that stratosphere. Now, his teams are slightly less feared. Teams haven't done
well scoring on Bama, but even the decent ones have showed they can score enough on a good day. Bama's D went from top 5 every year to top 15 as soon as Golding started and has been stuck there ever since. No more Nonoffensive TDs scored nearly every game in some freakish season. No more top 3 defenses in football.

Today, there is no longer that special talent on offense on top of that. And we havent been able to say that since Julio. So maybe Saban has juice in the tank, but does he get back to what made Saban great? Keep in mind players no longer have to put up with his Captain-of-the-Ship shite since some buddy-buddy is willing to drop off a bag. Also keep in kind the 12 team playoff will be a new obstacle, and anxiety ridden people don't like much change. Not seeing it.
