You do understand that our program has more elite talent than most?
Every team faces these issues. It just looks worse because our team was loaded.
Programs ALWAYS has a lot of turnover after a coaching change. It's just magnified because guess what..... the majority of our roster is 4 and 5 stars.

4 of the top 6 players in the portal are from Bama.

Most places don’t lose this many starters this fast. Especially not when the coach wasn’t fired.

Wrong. Bear said to hire Stallings and the AD didn’t listen.
Bryant was the AD. That became the fashionable story around '90 when Stallaings came to town. Mostly from Bryant Jr. saying something about him being "Papa's choice". More than likely Bryant Jr. working to getting him approval. Most of the reporting from then was Bear's approval of Perkins.
Perkins, Stallings, Sherrill, Ford, Pell, Mal Moore and Dye were all candidates and Stallings was the only one without real coaching success to that point. Again, Bryant was AD at the time, it's not like he didn't have a direct hand in things.
There's a book "The Long Shadow of Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant" by Gaylon McCullough where they go through the process of replacing Bryant. There's certainly no indication that Bear pushed for Stallings and was rebuked by Joab Thomas.
