They will say it was their coordinators, but it’s really a decline in culture.

Edit: I’ll add they were one of the most heavily favored preseason national champions in history.

They’ll be begging to have those coordinators back compared to what they have now.

You don't think these things have anything to do with each other???

IMO Saban has his hands in too many pots these days. Between his car dealerships and other business interests he has too many distractions. It hasn't caused a significant drop off in the football program, but just enough.

Going into the year, with all the production coming in and returning, I legitimately thought Saban was gonna run off 15 in a row and retire post natty.

Defensive culture changed dramatically under Golding because of scheme (often too complex) and accountability (or lack thereof). He may truly be a defensive savant, as Saban loved him, but he couldn't make it transfer to onfield performance

Offense ran through Bryce Young. His injury played a large part in the season outcomes. But, OC called games like an NFL coordinator. Too conservative, as if equal talent were on both sides of the field. BOB lacked creativity to game plan for specific matchups and adjust.

Not sure what Rees will bring to the table, but Steele is a known quantity. He will demand toughness and accountability. I expect the D to play hard, attack, and most importantly finish.

Not sure where it will lead, but I am glad changes were made.
