Is Bama in a perpetual rebuild?

Doesn't this happen every year there?
Kinda thought it was heavily used in recruiting (players leaving early)...like every year.
Saban said they "should have" had nine starters back on both offense and defense, but six players turned pro early, creating "question marks."

Plug and play. Saban just inserts another 5 star talent and the train rolls on.

Every team is rebuilding something every year.

Last year was a rebuild year for Georgia.
Prior to 2021 we lost:
-Top 4 corners
-starting safety
-top pass rusher
-starting MLB
-starting TE
-two starting OL
Due to injury we were without our starting QB, another starting OL, top WR, two other WR, new starting TE.

No. The 2021 Bama draft class was different than pretty much every other year
Mac: Second in Rookie of the Year Voting
Waddle: 1000 Yard Receiver
Smith: 1000 Yard Receiver
Najee: 1000 Yard Rusher
Surtain: Ranked the #7 Corner in all the NFL by NFL coaches, execs, and players
Barmore: Looked like a future Pro-Bowl DL
Dickerson: Starter as a rookie
Leatherwood: Starter as a rookie
Why were Saban’s absolutely true comments so controversial?

Rebuild, no. Reload, yes.

By Sabans standards yes. We’re blessed.

I don't know why Georgia fans are so offended by this. Alabama's offense was essentially completely overhauled from 2020 to 2021 as we lost just about every player who produced in a significant way going into last season (save John Metchie). We lost our offensive coordinator, our starting QB, our starting RB, our two best offensive linemen, and our two best WRs. All of the aforementioned players are doing good things in the NFL right now while our OC is currently the head coach of Texas. You really have to go back to 2014 to conjure a time where Alabama lost as much in leadership and at the skill positions.

Good teams always are.

Last year was a rebuilding year and was pretty universally called one prior to the season for all the reasons Glorious set out. We had an incredible group in 2020 with both talent and leadership and lost almost all of them. We had 6 guys drafted in the first 24 picks and 8 in the first 40. On top of that they were all alpha dog leaders.
They were a very good but also very flawed team last year. Call it whatever you want but it was clearly a year of transition after losing the guys we lost from the 2020 roster.

Whether u like it or not, there wasn’t the talent combined with seasoning that Bama usually has. Biggest thing was there was no mark Ingram or Trent running the ball and nobody on the 2021 defense starts on any of sabans previous teams. NONE.

I’d call it a restock more than a rebuild….

All I know is we beat the best team in Georgia's history by 17 
And apparently Pate agrees that it was a rebuild

They lost to a 5'9 walk on QB and a team that had to play all year with a true freshmen TE and 3 true freshmen wrs. He had to come up with some excuse. Its not like they came into the season ranked #1, pre season pick to win the National Championship with a Heisman QB and 5 first team All Americans or anything.

Bama just reloads. Texas A&M on the other hand has been rebuilding since 1939.

Is Bama in a perpetual rebuild?
Yes, they lost a lot of talent going into the 2021 season, but that's what happens almost every season due to their regular contention for championships. They consistently are at the top for recruiting, which means they consistently get the best players to develop and plug in when the upperclassmen leave.
Bama has set the bar so high regarding expectations, that they may consider 2021 a "rebuilding year" for them, but it's a laughable phrase to every other program that dreams of their success year after year.
A true "rebuild" would be like when LSU had their incredible season, lost all of their talent, and then had nothing to replace them with, causing them to eventually fire their coach to continue that rebuild. Rebuilding is when the entire house falls down and you want to get it back up. What Bama does is replace drywall and maybe a few load-bearing walls from time to time.

reloading...not rebuilding.
saban was wrong with his comments about last year

I think it's due to poor coaching. How do you not have a credible back up in your receiving corp when you're top receiver goes down? Sabans a shitty coach, if he cant coach up a 5 star receiver to step in. I mean, it's the last game of the season and all you have is shite behind your #1 & #2 guy's.
