I was involved in college football for a decade of my life. I saw firsthand the beginning of the Saban era and also saw firsthand how other programs did things.
Bama fans are gonna be shocked how well the team is coached next season. The quality of the assistant coaches for the past several years has been dogtrash relative to what Saban had when he started. A lot of the recent success was due solely to the process, incredible talent gap, and subpar coaching at other SEC programs.
Despite the transfers, which were inevitable, Bama will be talented next season. They will
have the roadbumps that all new coaches have(Saban had them too) but you are gonna see a damn good team this upcoming season. Some of yall need to sack up

Exactly what the melting crowd needs to hear.Posted on 1/19/24 at 8:49 am to scottydoesntknow
Most logical people know that everything of what you said is true. It’s just the rival trolls who are taking the opportunity to trash us anonymously.

Wrong. Had we hired a coach or a coordinator who had a recruiting relationship with these guys we would’ve kept 90% of them.

Unfortunately there is some friendly fire trolling/melting as well.

True but I think that we all knew that this would happen when Saban left. Thankfully we can backfill some of the spots with transfers.

It's odd 90% of these players aren't transferring to schools these home run hire coaches were at.

Mods need to at least give a break to the people who are so transparent about this.

Byrne isn't an idiot.

Talent beats well coached players 90% of the time.

Washington's run to the title would say otherwise.

That's an exaggeration. I'd say both are extremely important, maybe 60% talent, 40% coaching. Texas A&M has had one of the most talented rosters based on recruiting in recent years and struggles to break .500 due to coaching. Just one example.

Can you imagine how some of these pansy’s would handle a real crisis or real pressure in life. Some sure enough sissy’s on here. Weak

Yeah, I think Saban retired not because he couldn't recruit the players but because he couldn't recruit the coaches. The offense faltered in 2023 partly because he put more of his energy into repairing defense that floundered in 2022. He essentially said that in his Rece Davis interview after retirement. I believe his post-mortem for the 2023 season was his staff needed to improve or he needed to invest more of his effort into improving his existing staff. He just didn't believe he could do those things at his age while continuing to win on the field and in recruiting. He was struggling to land good assistants to alleviate deficiencies without his personal involvement, so he decided it was time to bounce.
This staff was as bad as it had been since the Shula era on offense. Defense was clearly in need of serious personal involvement from the head coach. I agree that Alabama likely upgraded everywhere at the assistant and coordinator level. The loss of Saban is massive. DeBoer has big shoes to fill as the CEO of the program.

They are transferring to places where they already had a relationship. Most aren’t going to go all the way to Oregon when FSU and UGA are way closer.
