Bama fans should be asking themselves if Saban intentionally tanked the program for his own legacy as the GOAT and make DeBoer the fall guy.

Saban could’ve left in February to keep the portal closed but instead he’s let everyone feast on alabamas talent and recruits. It’s a feeding frenzy.

It wouldn’t have mattered. As soon as he retires it opens for 30 days when coach leaves.

The portal opens anytime there's a coaching change

I know this is tongue in cheek, but DeBoer should have never taken this job following the all-time greatest. The stress and the intense pressure of this job following Saban just isn’t worth it. Should have waited on a fall guy for a few years.

That’s not how it works. If the head coach leaves a team, a special portal for that team opens for 30 days. This is a major reason for the feeding frenzy. Alabama has a loaded roster, and they’re the only team east of the Pacific time zone that can be raided atm. The combination of these idiotic portal rules which punish a program for a head coach waiting to retire until after the season ends, the phenomenon of infectious impulsiveness, and young men possessing still-maturing prefrontal cortices is to blame. Some of the portal guys haven’t even attempted to get to know the new coach.

I remember how every single member of Alabama’s team stayed after the NCAA gutted our program in 2002. That would be absolutely impossible today.
