Fact is, even Nick Saban will make avg/bad hires and that level of success will start to come back down to earth. Now does that mean terrible seasons...no! But don't expect bama to keep having undefeated or 1 loss seasons, winning the SEC and making Playoffs every year


Plus, saban is going to Texas anyway.

Locksley is highly underrated. The things he did at Illinois if he brings that to Bama they will average at least 40 points per game.

This guy makes no sense. He has Alabama going 12-0 but has Auburn ranked ahead of Alabama in his matrix.


I know nothing about this guy, but maybe the home field advantage bama would have in the Iron Bowl is the difference.

As long as Saban is head coach their coordinators could come from Waffle House.

I can’t really say I was excited by the coordinator hires we made this offseason either but I don’t see Locksley as a ‘D’. And if you’re going to have no grade on Daboll, why would you have one on Lupoi?

I know right! Only a fool would think Alabama wouldn't win 5 championships in the next 9 years!

Keep saying it over and over. You are going to be right at least one time.

Well then Georgia ought to win it all if coaches don't matter since they got more 5 star on their roster than any team in the SEC. Although LSU and Bama are right on their heels with 5 stars. And LSU is almost a dead lock top half dozen team since they are loaded with them.

I don't care if Bama goes 0-12 this year. Just pointing out that many have said what you are saying for a long time now. Of course it is all going to end for Bama one day but people keep trying to pretend like they have any idea.

Oh I get it and laughed years ago when people posted it. I told them saban was going to go on a crazy run. But it has been 11 years of unprecedented success and I'm not saying they will go 0-12 or not compete, I just don't see the level of success (5 out of 9) going forward. Not bc Bama falls off the wagon and its all gonna end one day, just other teams closing gap. When ppl laugh and say sure just keep saying it like it wont happen is funny. That being said, Bama could go 5-5

Agreed but I believe that purely because Saban can't coach forever. Teams have done a better job against them in general but Saban still has the edge.

It doesnt really matter how you are as a coach when you have 5-stars backing up 5-stars.
It's much more like 4 stars backing up 4 stars, but Bama is talented.

Last year Bama had 2 5 stars and 2 walkons starting on defense.

LOL Locksley has been a head coach as well as OC on a couple of different stops... he gets a D and Lupoi who has never coordinated before gets a C...? hmmmmmm very interesting.

Despite having the fewest returning D starters in the league, Lupoi and Golding will have them playing very well by mid October.

Offense is another story. There's a ton of talent at the skill positions, but I'm not sold on Locksley as a playcaller. He can't be any worse than Daboll in that department, though.

Damn, I wish we could find another Kiffin somewhere.
