10 years of Saban at Alabama= everyone is getting tired of "the process"

just a reality of life at the top....ESPN will soon be looking for another team to pump in their headlines
as Spurrier once said, "after 10 years, everyone begins to get tired of each other"
He's had a great run, probably the best in history, probably never be matched in the future
but the pinnacle has been reached...from here it won't be the same heights of success (though it will be pretty high for his standards)....but I see the Bama faithful will begin to annoy him for not winning titles...he will begin to say "screw it, I am done with these ungrateful people". They are so tired of winning, they will not handle losing at all. ;)
New AD, new OC, other position coaches leaving, combined with a tough Championship loss...the Clemson title win was great for College football... and I see some of that Saban/Bama swag "always wins the big one" has been humbled a bit...somewhat snapped the belief Alabama was unbeatable on the big stage...
3 more years and Saban is done at Alabama...
He may want to win 7 titles to surpass the Bear...that's the only thing I see driving him..
True or False?

I actually thought Bama fans handled it well this year. They kinda ran up against a buzzsaw in Clemson and Watson. I think Hurts gets a bit better, but this offseason will be crucial for his development and Alabamas future on offense.

I don't think he'll retire anytime soon, what would that miserable SOB do with himself if he didn't have anyone to yell at?
that said he's nearing his late 60's so he's going to start to slow down in the next few years most likely.

Saban and new AD is a refresh for ole Nick

It will annoy him that we want the same thing he wants (titles)? I doubt it.
quote:
New AD
will have zero impact on Saban, but will be responsible for Saban's replacement in a few years. Saban does and gets what he wants in that dept. the new AD won't have more pull than Saban. New AD knows it. Saban knows it.
quote:
new OC
Oh yeah. This will be a big problem. The new OC is so inexperience. No telling if he'll be good or not.
This is the 5th different OC in Saban's tenure at Bama. All the others who coached more than one season won SEC and National titles.
quote:
other position coaches leaving
you said coaches (plural). there has been one coach leave (singular) and he left for an OC role. Also, coaches leave every year - an average of 2 per season under saban. you're grasping at straws here.

some of that Saban/Bama swag "always wins the big one" has been humbled a bit...somewhat snapped the belief Alabama was unbeatable on the big stage.
I think the close game last year and the loss to Florida in 2008 made it clear Bama wasn't unbeatable on that stage. That said, Saban is 5-1 in SEC Championship Games at Bama and 4-1 in National Championship games. That 9-2 record on the biggest stage possible is still staggeringly impressive. The loss to clemson snapped a NINE game winning streak in title games, but it doesn't mean they can't/won't win the next title game they appear in.
quote:
He may want to win 7 titles to surpass the Bear
he does.
quote:
that's the only thing I see driving him
that and enjoying what he's doing, being well paid to do it, and doing it at a high level.

There it is folks. No one knows the way Nick Saban's mind works like the LSU fans on tigerdroppings.com
He'll never be at Alabama for more than 4 years. He is a mercenary. Little Nicky won't even be the coach by the time Landon Collins finishes school

I heartily disagree. It is only going to get worse.

Nick will hire the AD, so that won't be an issue!

Did i miss the part about how this is coaching changes related?

It's true that eventually one of these years you all will be right about Bama's decline. Similar posts as yours have been made after every Alabama loss since the 2012 loss to A&M and Johnny Manziel. Since then Alabama has won 2 more NCs and 4 more SEC Championships and been to every playoff so far. All great sports runs come to an end so eventually this one will too. However odds are Alabama is going to win the SEC and be in the CFP for the 4th year in row next year. Sure they might not win it all again as any given year there may be a team that can match them. Not likely to be Clemson again next year, but Ohio State looks to be coming back around with an experienced team as does FSU. I'm sure there will be another team or two in the mix for top team along with Alabama.

Good grief.
You're saying this because you hope this is what is happening, not because any of it actually is.

Only people tired of the Process are you lot of losers tired of watching your team get their teeth kicked in by it every year

I don't think ESPN has ever really liked Bama that much in the first place. The only person from Bama they ever give credit to is Saban. When is the last time they hyped up a Bama player as much as Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart, Tim Tebow, Manti T'eo, Jabrill Peppers, etc...? Amari Cooper was one of the greatest college receivers of all-time yet he was pretty much ignored by ESPN pundits most of the time while someone like Marquise Lee got a ton of hype and attention.

Saban has prob watched the Clemson game 50 times by now
Posted on 1/17/17 at 2:41 pm to ApexTiger
It's long been known that Saban is having difficulties at the school and administration.
It's hard for Saban to get along with the people he works with. You can go all the way back to Michigan State to see this.
The wheels are coming off this bus; and when he retires be on the lookout for sanctions that won't even rival Ole Miss escapades

Bear Bryant was at Bama 25 years and won back to back titles in years 20 and 21. Great coaches don't conform to the normal coaching stereotypes.

LSU fans have been saying this since 2007. Keep repeating it long enough and one day you'll be correct.

People just love to hate traditional winners. The Cowboys haven't won shite in 25 years and people still hate the shite out of them and it's not just because of their fans.

They are already moving toward tOSU, Mich, Clemson, and FSU. There are too much ratings to be had in the Big10 and ACC regions to ignore them. These teams have earned this spot (at least Clemson has) and ESPN will parade them up against the SEC fiercely in the coming years.
