What people don't understand is that the decline was already very much in effect when Bryant resigned (same with Bowden and Paterno). Program is in great shape for the next guy

Bear Bryant won his last national championship in 1979 and retired three seasons later after the 1982 season.

Nick Saban won his last national Championship in 2020 and is now retiring three seasons later after the 2023 season.

Whoever it was within the Alabama administration that went against Saban's recommendations to not allow Learfield on campus created a situation where the HC has lost a considerable amount of control.

I hope it was worth the kickback money because it is very likely that the Alabama program will have some serious buyer's remorse in the not too distant future.
