Among players with at least one Pro Bowl you have to add LaRon, but he only had two years of Saban.

Ingram? Is this a joke.


If you're telling me that averaging 3.9 yards/carry means you didn't pan out, then you're the joke.

Ingram shouldn't of been a 1st Rd pick. He busted so bad.

LOL, We practice too hard? Just ask the players after each natty if it was worth it, I bet they say yes. RMFT.

No one is saying he isn't a good college coach. Nothing you've said address why his players aren't elite at the pro level.

I don't know what happens in practice, but it seems like Bama substitutes and rotates as much as anyone during games.


Yea, seems like if anything the insane depth at Bama would wear their bodies down less. Instead of Saban destroying his HB's with huge carry numbers he splits carries all over the place. He does the same in the front 7 on defense.

If I were a GM, the only thing I would be concerned about with a Saban player would be that they have little upside left since they have already been coached up, disciplined, and conditioned about as much as a player can be.

Artrell Hawkins said the same thing this morning on Fox Sports Radio. Not buying it.

side from Julio I couldn't name a Saban player bama has sent to the league that has panned out so far


I'd say M.Barron, T-Rich,MTCody,Dareus, Arenas , Ingram to name a few have done pretty well so far.

I'd rather them practice hard and play hard while here to win a National Title than play soft and be considered studs in the eyes of Brian Billick.

They are just as elite in the pros as they are in college, we don't always have elite talent, look at poor AJ. Dude won 2 nattys and is still considered a system guy. Maybe we just have a bunch of system guys, and we work the shite out of them, and win nattys. RMFT.

Its more like there has only been one who so far hasnt risen to the expectations and that is ingram....but he did have an injury. Other than that....all the players Bama has but in the nfl last few years are killing it. Keep in mind Cody just won a superbowl at ravens
