re: Is Alabama no longer capable of playing hardball?

We have, in the past, depended heavily on our name, our brand, our tradition and our history.

We do that at our peril moving forward.

And IMO we would be doing that at our peril moving forward even if there had been no change at coach.

It’s a different world out there now and we need to approach it for how it is, not pine for how it used to be.

That’s not doom and gloom, because I like our chances to adapt and prosper.
