A very poor coaching job that Saban owes some blame in it.
Golding was clearly having off the field issues and his unit looked underprepared to play many weeks. The sheer lack of discipline in assignments and techniques by that unit led to so many needless penalties. They beat themselves as well as their opponent was beating them in the two losses but it was also a repeated problem even in the wins.
Bill O'Brien wanted to go back to the pros after 1 year but he didn't due to his 2 year commitment to Saban. I get the feeling that desire was discussed in the 2022 offseason and Saban pleaded for him to stay. To that end, Alabama's offense looked like it was led by a coordinator who didn't really want to be there. Similarly under-coached, under-prepared, and overly predictable. They were fortunate to have Bryce Young or this would've been a disaster season.

Any idea what these issues were?

Agreed. But, that’s where the age thing starts to be a factor. The younger Saban would have fired him at halftime in Knoxville and told him to Uber home.
