Listen to Coach P throw an absolute ice bath on all of the dumpster fire talk. He talks coaches, and these players jumping ship.
Maybe this will encourage some of you doom & gloom types to step away from the ledge.

Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing if some of our more recently acquired "fans" went ahead and stepped over the ledge.

Yeah like the guy who’s been spamming this forum but is now over on the Rant with his act, the one who thinks DeBoer should be on his hands and knees begging people to stay in the name of the great god continuity.
I’m going to tread very dangerously here, and it may sound hypocritical after my admonitions of recent days that we need to adjust to a new landscape and new realities in the sport … if this had become such a cult of personality around Saban alone, maybe a little house cleaning and restructuring and “don’t let the door hit you in the arse when you leave” is in order to move away from that even if in the short term it makes people insane or even causes us a bit of pain.
The University of Alabama played football, very successful, for 114 seasons before Saban. God willing it will do the same after Saban.

There's nothing wrong with acknowledging that we had a ton of guys here for reasons other than "I want to play football for the University of Alabama" (specifically, they were here to say they played for Saban and/or get to the NFL) and that getting rid of them may not be the worst thing in the world.

1000%.
I believe we are currently in the shift right now. It's a lot different than what we've grown used to, which was a football factory in a sense with no allegiance to the university.

I’m with you 1,000,000%.
I have zero illusions that we’re going to have a roster full of players bleeding Crimson moving forward.
But this apparently has gotten way out of whack.

After some serious reflection I have to admit football under Saban eventually turned into a fan experience that was more rewarding than it was enjoyable.
2007 was a very bad time for me and Saban’s hiring was the lone bright spot at the time. I recall telling people that if we can just play for the SEC championship every 2-3 years how happy I would be.
Fast forward to the 2012 season, and I recall my expectations basically changing to something unattainable, winning every game, and every play, with zero mistakes. My game experiences were basically boredom because the game was already over before the end of the half, or panic because the game wasn’t already over before the end of the half.
I’m so pumped to see this new coach and his staff bring in a new era. I think he is going to suprise some folks and I think it’s going to be an awesome experience.

Waaay out of control.
These other schools that are having their laugh, and I get it with our stretch of dominance. But If you step back and take a 1000 Ft view, I think we're getting ahead of the curve.
Hard to see right now, but it will pay dividends shortly down the road, and faster than we expect imo.
