Reality check for Bama fans and fans in general

I was lambasted on here yesterday for saying the delta in terms of quality of job is minimal between Bama and Oregon. I was mocked and laughed at because of muh championships. Guess who's laughing now?






What a lot of Bama fans are going to have to realize is that the quality of a college coaching job doesn't hinge entirely on the number of championships (real or not) a program has accrued over the years.

What matters most to a coach, in addition to pay, is the amount of resources that a program offers to go compete for championships in the future. The differences between Oregon and Bama are minimal if not null in that respect.

The reality is that both programs are 10 Top jobs. I would put Bama a notch above simply because of the fact that it's going against the best every week in the SEC. But Oregon is now joining a new and improved Big 10, so that angle is less relevant than it was a year ago.

The ultimate question for Lanning was whether or not he wanted to uproot his family for a near-lateral move and deal with the deranged psychos and entitled goobers in the Bama fanbase, living in the shadow of the greatest coach of all time. I don't blame him for staying with his current situation and showing a little bit of loyalty in the process.

Where we stand today, Bama has a great shot to bring in a solid coach. Just like a UGA, Texas, LSU, USC, UGA, Ohio State and yes, A&M, it's a Top 10 job to win future championships and be well compensated in the process. So it'll be interesting to see how it plays out. But let this be a lesson to the entitled Bama fanbase who is now confronted with a splash of cold water and a hard dose of reality.
