I was a kid during the three Mikes but I remember it and recognize what could happen if we miss on a couple hires - I don't think its an age thing honestly.

Good lord this is one of the worst opinions I have ever seen expressed on this site.
When NFL hall of famers come here and can only get 1 year in the starting lineup, there's a problem - and it's not because we have too many NFL hall of famers. It's because our head coach doesn't make good decisions about who gets on the field.
In the age of NIL, Saban is going to have to adapt his philosophy, or guys like Derrick Henry will simply transfer. There's no excuse for a guy like that to be a backup for 2 years. There's no excuse for Jaylen Waddle to backup Henry Ruggs for 2 years. Maybe we have 2 NFL guys fighting for a spot, but the better player should always win - not the older player.
There's really no excuse for Agiye Hall to be backing up Slade Bolden right now. We're talking about a future top 10 pick vs. a guy who will go undrafted.

Agiye Hall isn't backing up Slade Bolden right now. They don't play the same receiver position. Hall is second on the depth chart behind Metchie at the X.

Yep I will being taking a long vacation from the rant when Saban retires and feel sorry for the next HC at UA.

Sure, but the best 3 WRs should be on the field, and Hall is one of the best 3. He should be learning whatever it is for him to get on the field, and considering he was an early enrollee, he should know enough by now.
Also he's not second on the depth chart. He's 3rd, which is even more laughable.
Come to Alabama, where future top 10 draft picks are 3rd on the depth chart.

They do not view "receiver" as one big position. Outside and inside receivers are distinctly different unless they are very, very special.

Yes, that's generally how it goes at some point during their careers.
Do I need to list out Top 10 picks who were 3rd on the depth chart at some point during their careers or no (not to mention the casual expectation that he's a Top 10 pick).

Smith, Jeudy, and Ruggs were all interchangeable in terms of body type.
We've had a number of receivers line up in multiple spots. Regardless, you put your best on the field. If the only way Hall can get on the field this year is to play inside, then have him learn inside.

lol the point is that a top 10 draft pick should NEVER be 3rd on a college depth chart. We're loaded, but we're not that loaded.
It's simply a mistake on the part of our staff.
There are NFL teams out there who would pay big money for Hall RIGHT NOW based on his 40 time, height, and ADay tape alone.

What about a top 15 pick? For 3+ years? Different or under the same NEVER rule?
What about the #3 pick in the draft?

Apologies. I thought you were serious ... misguided, but serious.
You're clearly just trolling. My mistake.

That's been the case for 10 years now. These guys know they have to earn their spots when they commit to us. Derrick Henry is the reigning NFL MVP and was 3rd on the depth chart for most of his first 2 seasons.

It's a little different when you're 2 deep with 1st round talent (Jalen was clearly worthy of the first round), but that's a rare circumstance, and you could make the argument that maybe Mac Jones was better than Tua and Jalen all along - he just needed reps. Who knows? QB is the toughest position to evaluate.

An epic mistake by the staff.
We win the NC in 2013 going away if Derrick Henry was the starter, or at least splitting starting duties. In 2014 he should've taken over the starting spot. Imagine running RPOs with Blake Sims and DHenry - would've been a completely different ballgame.

Name one position on our team where a 1st round talent is sitting behind two other first round talents.
More like 90-99% of the time.
