Shhh, they still think they are the only ones that can compensate all the 5 stars to come to Bama effectively.

Not trolling but is Alabama well heeled without Saban and the success over the last 17 years? I know that is hard to quantify because they did have that success but one has to question its sustainability given the amount of money it had to cost and the very real possibility that they take a minor step backward and an outside possibility that they take a serious step backward. I am certain that whoever is hired will receive a similar amount of support that Saban received...for 2-3 years. But if there is a couple of 7 and 8 win seasons or worse in those 3 years???? No matter how much money one has when they are being asked to write multi-million $ checks they ask "is this worth the money"? If it is...if you haven't taken a significant step backwards...the answer is yes. If you have taken a significant step backwards...many of those check writers are either going write a smaller check, beg off, or demand more personal bang for their bucks and not just success on the field. The timing is not great.
