Which was their last Championship. So why change is what I’m asking. They don’t appear to lack the personnel

The OL is probably the weakest and most disappointing part of the entire team this year.
I feel like we've been saying that about this team since Jeff Stoutland left for the NFL.....

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Close your eyes and imagine the scene:
The 17-year-old recruit walks into Nick Saban's corner office on the second floor of the Mal M. Moore Athletic Facility just off Bryant Drive in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. At the sight of the 5-star high school player and his family, Saban rises from behind his massive cherry desk and presses a button on a remote control, which shuts the door.
The coach loves this trick and smiles devilishly. There's a liquid glimmer of mischief in his eyes, revealing a side to Saban the recruit has never seen on television.
The recruit notices that, even in the dim light of Saban's inner sanctum—where the shades are usually drawn, as if to conceal secrets—the three national championship rings on a coffee table gleam brilliantly, like sunshine bouncing off the ocean. Saban guides the player and his family onto an overstuffed sofa. The coach takes a seat across from them in an easy chair. Between them are the rings. Then Nicholas Lou Saban Jr., age 63, lays on his singular brand of the hard sell.
We will win championships here. You see these rings? We'll get more of those. And I will prepare you for the NFL. We've had more NFL draft picks in the last five years than anyone. Anyone. The best come here. You'll have to earn your way onto the field as well as your right to stay on it. We have a process here. It's an everyday thing. We focus on what is directly in front of us, not end results. We want you, but know that we will win with or without

With their abundance of talented running backs, isn’t it odd that Hurts leads the team with 85 rushing attempts. Harris averages 8.5 ypc but averages less than 10 carries per game. Any theories on this? I know RPO has changed college football, but this seems odd. Is Bama trying to prepare Hurts to possibly become an NFL qb or are they doing what Meyer did to Tebow...using his athleticism and not giving a crap about his development as a qb
First of all, their job is to win. Preparing him for a different style of play down the road is secondary.
Second, why would it seem odd to you that he leads the team in attempts? Not only do they sometimes run option plays, Hurts doesn't share playing time, unlike the RBs. The ball starts in Hurts' hands on every single play. Then you add in all the rush attempts and yards that come as a result of passing plays where he got flushed from the pocket.
Add it up...option plays, 4 RBs sharing the carries, an athletic passer that makes big plays when he's flushed from the pocket...it would be odd if he didn't lead the team in carries.

But we don't have the most players in NFL rosters. They'll take you on the fact that you played at Bama. Then, they'll realize that Saban drove your decision making and cannot operate without him and you will fall out of the league in 3 years.

Ingram, Julio, Dareus, Mosely, Hightower, Ha Ha, Rashad Johnson, Kareem Jackson, Andre Smith, Dre Kirkpatrick, and others say that you're a fricking idiot.
