re: Will Bama ever really replace Saban?

Actually after the Bear left, Bama spent a couple of decades doing pretty badly.

Every coach that coached a season between Bryant and Saban had at least one 10 win season. And 10 win seasons used to be harder than now due to less games. Alabama was inconsistent, but they weren’t dog shite.

Perkins 1985 9-2-1
Perkins 1986 10-3
Curry 1988 9-3
Curry 1989 10-2
Stallings 1991 11-1
Stalkings 1992 13-0
Stallings 1993 9-3-1
Stallings 1994 12-1
Stallings 1996 10-3
Dubuse 1999 10-3
Francione 2002 10-3
Shula 2005 10-2
Saban 2008-present 10-14 wins per season

Even during the darkest 23 years of Alabama football, they had 12 seasons with 9 wins or more and nine 10 win or better seasons. Even with the likes of Perkins, Dubose, Francione, Curry and Shula.
