Very true!!! Alabama hasn't recruited defensive talent the same since Kirby left. That 16 and 17 defense for Bama were the last elite defenses for Saban and they were players recruited by Smart.


Yeah I think the 17 defense was the last one I can remember that was really good. The 18 one also had a great showing in Baton Rouge.

The players pretty clearly aren’t there at every position like they used to be.

You are largely correct, but you are missing the biggest reason; 2018 heralded the arrival of the most inept coach I have seen at Alabama, Pete Golding.
