They thought he was going to be there. A lot of them are now pissed and don’t want anything to do with alabama.

Julian Sayin is the biggest name to hit the portal yet.

Deceit has been Saban’s MO for decades..
Win at all costs. Even if that means cheating and lying.

Saban was probably considering retiring but he said himself he didn't know WHEN it would happen. Then he woke up one day and decided it was time.

No, Saban didn't just wake up and decide it was time. Saban knew it was time when his team lost an overtime semifinal game and the immediate response by most of his team was, "yeah but, you gonna have to pay me more money".

Realize Alabama directly caused the present state of CFB. They forced the issue by paying for talent under the table to such a degree that other programs had to as well to compete. Alabama ruined CFB by causing an arms race to escalate to absurd levels. Win at all costs, lol, how’s that pill taste now Yama? For years we all watched them redefine cheating to new heights. There’s no telling what they’ve done to steal their “glory.” The present reset is the bounce back. They are the architects of their own demise. Poetic justice best surmised by the five star demanding even more illegal pay for play money than the Bananas had agreed to. War Eagle (and RTWFU) indeed.

I think there needs to be more restrictions on entering the portal but your coach leaving is a good reason to go

This just highlights another reason why it was stupid to create an "early signing period" and put it in the month of December.

This is right up there with one southern state making a joke about incest. Except this also goes against the other Bama story line - " Sorry Bama is Poor". So in summation " Bama bought it's players against teams that either were rule abiding (like LSU) or were bidding as well but poor Bama out bid them" ? Is that the new direction the flock is taking today?

You honestly believe Nick Saban made such a decision that will affect so many other people so spontaneously?

Hint: He didnt.

If a player asks if you're going to retire, it's not a lie to say you currently plan on being there next year. It would only be a lie if they said are you thinking about retirement and he just flat said no.

So what exact questions did the recruits ask, OP for you to call this man a liar.
