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.
And that means a few days after the transfer portal closed, Saban opened up our entire roster to the country. A country who would do ANYTHING to see us never win another game ever again.

There is NO doubt programs are erring on the side of overpaying a little bit to get our guys. Adding a ~#3WR is nice for FSU. Raiding our entire roster no matter what player it is is good for EVERYONE.

It did not have to be that way.


How’d the players find out? I’m a wildly chaotic breaking news situation where they all had hundreds of calls and texts from family, friends, and teammates? And recruiters from other schools promising who knows what?


How, in today’s CFB, are the players not notified FIRST? And how is there not a serious effort to sit down the core guys and come up with a plan? Incentivize the plan and message moving forward. Get the whole core you have onboard preaching a positive message and a look to the future as the organization, that is on the same page, looks for the new coach.

Of course players will leave. Some already had before Saban announced.

But whatever we did was not a plan. There doesn’t seem like a single thought was put into anything other than frantically trying to throw money at a player after the snowball was out of control down the mountain.

They were told first. Saban had a team meeting and told them. It was out of that team meeting that the news spread to the rest of us.

I am taking it in stride and not overly concerned right now. In the end I knew at some point Saban was going to hang it up and that might have been more stressful always wondering if this was the last season or not going into August. Everyone knew it was sooner than later. Now that is over and time to move on.

So far I like the coaching hires and ready to see the next chapter. I believe DeBoer can with whatever roster he fields in the fall. I also have no expectation what we got under Saban will ever be repeated.
