Saban sucked as a NFL coach. I don’t think his personality is wired to deal with paid athletes and that’s why Bama looks so lethargic. He cannot motivate them or keep them focused

Saban really is tGOAT if he recruited all those guys and got them to come for free/cheap.

Game changed when he couldn’t just hand out free Dodge Chargers. He hasn’t been able to adapt.

You’re way overthinking it. He’s lost entirely too many coaches to poaching and it’s finally caught him

I think the NIL gives Saban less control than he previously had, but it’s fair to say Saban is goat while mentioning they’re really poorly coached right now

These threads are hilarious. Fans of all other schools would kill for a 10-2 regular season to be a "down" year.

That's stupid.
The real answer is he's just gotten older. You lose passion and intensity and ultimately the desire to continue all together even though you love doing it.
Ya, know we have this word for it. It's called retirement. And I don't think Saban is far off from it.

Yes, Kirby is so different from Saban in how he runs his program, and his style works perfectly in the NIL era. Great observation. A+. Exactly what we pay for on this board.

I don't personally think so. I think saban has been paying for players for years under the table somehow including the dodge charger gate. It's just been too obvious. But due to the revenue it has brought amongst the SEC and the national spotlight, I do see why they would keep it under wraps. I mean Jimbo spoke on it a little bit, but there's a reason why coaches don't ever talk about that stuff, and we all know it happens. At the end of the day, it's literally all about the money. Literally MONEY. So, no I don't think it killed bama, although I think the playing field has been leveled and every team now can do what they've been doing for years.

Now, don't get me wrong I think NIL has been a long time coming. Playing players for football should have been a thing from the start. NCAA is a joke. The amount of work these young men put in to not get paid a dime was a crime, but glad its fixed now.

Alabama literally has the best roster in college football so this is a moronic take.

What killed Alabama football was Saban hiring Golding. Then when Sark left hiring Bill O'Brien.

Both coordinators are terrible. That is the reason. It’s up to Saban to replace those guys, so I’ll start worrying if he doesn’t.

Considering they finished #2 in recruiting last year and #1 currently, I would say no it hasn’t!

I think the reports of bama’s demise are a bit premature
