re: Julian Sayin...

That is another great example.

I think we could think similar things about this year when we see Haynes next year.

I completely understand the old school though about playing the guy older guy who has been around. I know it’s hard for Saban to change this way of thinking. But surely he can see that todays a different time with the portal and NIL. These younger guys when there is a clear deficiency in the position must get playing time. You truly have to think of each individual season as a one time all star season. Then rebuild the roster the next year. If you have older players leave then so be it. The younger guy was better. And you can always fill in needs from the portal.

Not the direction I wanted for football but it’s here to stay.
