In the same breath, you dumb twat burgers think Alabama is immediately going to fall back into the 6-6 range.

Nah. Bama has enough talent that any average coach can come in and win 10 games next year. But in the position Bama is in, with a HC considered to be great and there for awhile, they bring in a guy who looks great on paper and for whatever reason he doesn't look great in year 2 or 3 and players and recruits will start to say that this isn't the Bama of old (Saban era) and they will jump ship or look away and it could lead to a rough time. Then that with Bama fans expectations they would be going through coaches and players left and right. Before long they would be just a once every now and then good team like everyone else.

They will never drop to a Vandy level but they can easily end up like all the bigger schools that have good runs and then are only relevant occasionally. Examples more recent (since 1990) are USC, FSU, Florida, and Clemson.
