After seeing what’s happening, I’m dumbfounded that Alabama didnt have a better plan.
It’s the Wild West out here and we had zero plan, even though the coaching search went really well.
You simply have to pony up and keep a select few core players in times like this. If Downs, Bond, and pick about 4 others are in on things from the very start of this and the messaging is positive and leadership is on the same page, there’s no way it reaches this chaotic point.
Paying some HS kid millions in hopes he pans out is a far cry from having a fricking plan and paying your guys to keep the program pointed in the right direction.
We had no plan and now it’s uncertain if we have a functioning football team
Idk if I can be convinced that it has to be this way.
You know how firms are hired to help out during mergers and shite? How does a program like Alabama not have something like that in place for HC departures nowadays?
Did they even halfway ponder if it was the worst possible time for Saban to step down?

I'm not. Byrne knows how to identify and hire coaches in an efficient, professional manner, which is admittedly more than many ADs can say, but beyond that I don't think he's good at his job.

There definitely was a plan. Go out and get the best coach available. I think we did that. His staff hires so far are all great as well. As for retaining the roster I mean what can you do except meet with them and hope they're on board with the new direction of the team?
As for ponying up the money to keep guys around from what Boz says we did all we could and just got outbid. And it seems like Proctor truly just wants to go closer to home. It is what it is.

What’s the plan, force these people to stay at gunpoint? Force Saban to stay until “the right time” at gunpoint even if he wants to go to the house?
This is the lay of the land right now in college football and it is not going to change appreciably moving forward. It’s no nefarious plot to specifically tear us down.
We adapt or die.
And eventually the portal will swing both ways and payback is hell.

Of course, but that is easy to say in retrospect. However, it's becoming more clear that Saban really did go to work one day and found that hiring another round of coaches was just too much and, in a moment of clarity, he said frick it.
