What Bama did over the last 2 decades just doesn’t go away. The trophies, NFL players, facilities, Heisman winners and national recruiting pipelines don’t just vanish.
Saban helped build Alabama into THE brand in CFB. It was always near the top but now it’s at the tippity top with a large gap. That doesn’t go away. Btw I’m talking brand recognition.
Ohio State before Urban was always good but they did not recruit nationally like they do now. They didn’t get SEC caliber skill players and linemen. Now they still do even after Urban left.
We’ll have to royally screw things up to fall off again. We won’t win 6 natties in 12 years of course but we can still compete at the highest level. Year 1 is going to be important imo.
Moving on from Saban to the reigning coach of the year isn’t a bad start.

We made a lot questionable hires after Bryant
Ray Perkins - Was was the head coach of the Giants when we hired him with a 23 and 34 record. Didn’t have any college head coaching experience.
Bill Curry - Had a head coaching record of 34 and 41 at Georgia Tech when we hired him
Gene Stallings - Ended up being a great hire but before he was hired here he had went 27 and 45 at TAMU
Mike Dubose - Didn't have any head coaching experience when we hired him
Dennis Franchione - had a 63 and 46 record when we hired him between New Mexico and TCU
Mike Price - Had an 82 and 78 record at his 13 years at Washington State when we hired him
Mike Shula - Didn't have any head coaching experience when we hired him
We knocked it out of the park with Deboer compared to all of these hires imo. DeBoer’s head coaching record is 104 and 12, he’s won big everywhere he’s been, and none of those places had close to the resources and fan support that Alabama does.

The national recruiting phenomenon isn’t really Urban. It’s the rise of social media and national recruiting budgets. Coaches can get tape on a wider basis instead of having to rely on what’s mailed in
Josh Jacobs in 2007 goes undiscovered. In the mid 2010’s everyone knew who he was the week his tape blew up before signing day
