Why was last year a down year for Alabama?

The 2013 Alabama football team just didn't play as well as some of their former teams. For personal reasons I'm hoping this is the beginning of the end of bama's SEC dominance. However something tells me they won't be down long and last year was just a fluke.
So can any one factor be attributed to them having a down year or is it multiple factors?

Because you touch yourself at night...that's why.

Complacency is hard to avoid. I blame it on coaching. Came up against one hungry, motivated rival and pure talent wasn't enough. Don't expect anything amazing from them this year either.

Didn't they beat Arkansas like 52-0 or something?

lack of chemistry, team full of players who never had a meaningful loss, least experienced secondary since saban got there, really predictable playcalling on O and an inability to adjust to what was happening in the game.

I actually think that Saban has lost some of his edge. He doesn't seem as firey as he used to. I thought that he might reignite this year, but after the comment about the consulation Sugar Bowl, I am thinking maybe not. In the past he would have blasted a player that suggested that the team considered any game a consulation game, much less the Sugar Bowl after a bad loss. He would have attacked it as an opportunity and a redemption game.

Process has only just begun. We're not near the end of this run yet.

I think he is just getting old......and possibly a bit senile. The OC hiring kind of points me in that direction.

I think 2012 was more of a down year, but there was just no one else having a better year. I think the 2011 Bama team would have kicked the 2012 Bama teams arse.

It was a down year. Why do the rest of the SEC members celebrate seasons like that?

Mediocre QB, inexperienced offensive line, depleted secondary. Saban's hyper-conservative philosophy doesn't mesh with that. Oklahoma got worked by them. I don't see how that whole program isn't embarrassed.

It really wasn't a down year IMO.

The boys just didn't know how to finish. Should have beat Auburn by two scores, had multiple opportunities late. Had A&M down 42-21 and did their best to let the Aggies come back and win. Oklahoma just plain whooped their asses. The Sugar Bowl was the only game where Alabama was legitimately outplayed. Great job by the Sooners.

Ill say this as an Auburn fan. When you lose two games and its considered a down year. They must be doing something right. Dont get me wrong, I despise the turds, but one cant argue with their recent success. Having said that, I do think bama has peaked with Saban. And thats still more nattys than my tigers got.
