re: Is Bama in a perpetual rebuild?

Weird that he refers to it as "rebuilding" as if it was different than the norm.

2021 was not a herculean shift in rebuilding but it was more daunting than most. It was not much different a task to when LSU had to replace what they lost in 2019.

Alabama lost a quarterback who won the Davey O'Brien and was a Heisman finalist, a wide receiver who won the Heisman, another WR who was the sixth player taken in the draft, a RB who won the Doak Walker and was the first RB drafted, a starting CB who was the SEC defensive player of the year and drafted 9th, their starting center who was drafted in the second round, a starting guard drafted in the sixth, a starting TE signed as a UFA, and a starting linebacker. The team had enough talent that their long snapper was drafted. They also replaced their offensive co-ordinator, qb coach and rb coach.

LSU had a bit more of a task because they also lost their defensive co-ordinator along with more key defensive players and were left with a coach I believe honestly thought he had done more than any of the folks that left.
