I'm not trying to tell people this whole thing is gonna go awesome - I legitimately have no idea. I'm just not sure what people expected when the Saban era ended, especially when we made the decision to hire somebody outside of the "family tree".
And I'm not sure how any of it should effect whether you keep watching Alabama play sports if you love the University.

No one has asked you to post the percentage of whether or not this hire is going to be considered a success.
This board has lost the plot. Mods are bailing on the program. Shut it down.

Man. This is totally different compared to when Saban came in as the new coach after everything from the first half of the 2000s with sanctions and coaching changes. Of course that textbook stuff was crap.

Call me crazy, but I've always felt like the main thing that differentiates college from the NFL is the idea that there is some sort of shared experience and connection between the fans and the players. Maybe that's just because I went to school at Alabama and met a lot of them in class, at parties, out on the Strip, or whatever. I'm never going to be the social peer of an NFL player though. I'm never going to sit next to any of them in a class. So that common experience is just never going to exist.
I do agree that the people acting like we're about to return to the Dubose era are nuts, but I can't blame anyone who is ready to cut back their emotional investment in a sport that is rapidly becoming NFL Lite if pro sports aren't their thing.

I’m not mad because he’s leaving per se, I’m mad at the contribution and time I’ve given and it still happening. I’m not the average fan or idle tv watcher. This is literally the only place I can vent about it. I can’t on any social media, not that I would, and I can’t to everyone involved. So it’s you guys I’m coming too. Luckily I’m over it now, had the best burger in town, and decided not to let it ruin my day. No matter what I’m Tide so it doesn’t matter. Anyone who says they are quitting the school completely needs a head check.

I think expectations have been destroyed by the portal window. We're the first blueblood program to get screwed by the immediate 30 day window opening. Anybody who thought there wouldn't be changes or pain when Saban retired was deluding themselves. Every reasonable person probably expected to see recruiting to dip. But I don't think anybody expected to see the immediate wholesale dismantling of the team due to the portal.
This 30 day window is ridiculous. I'm fine with letter the kids transfer out, but they already have that opportunity with the spring portal. The immediate 30 day window lets kids make knee-jerk reactions and lets opposing teams play upon the uncertainty that those players are experiencing.
