….is one more guy who would have been a locker room problem the first time this new team faced adversity.
Im not saying they lack character by transferring, but this 30 day portal is a blessing in many ways. Saban had to spend all of the 2007 spring and season figuring out who really wanted to be in his program. DeBoer gets to find that out in 30 days. If this is not what you signed up for and you think there is greener grass, I’d rather you leave now than a year from now after your negativity has spread to others.
The 30 day coaching change portal is like Amazon’s “Pay to Quit” program where Bezos used to offer 5k once a year to any employee who would agree to quit to encourage anyone unhappy to move on.

Every last person who hit the portal can go kick fricking rocks. I understand guys like Blackshire leaving but other than that guys who had chances to start or were starting, we don't need filth like that on this team. I want real players to wear crimson not frauds.

That's not true.
I'd wager the majority of them love the school and have no issues with the new staff.
But, with Saban gone, the hyenas are circling the kill. The gloves are off and players are being contacted with packages north of 6 digits to play college ball.
It's more economic than anything.
That said, De Boer simply needs to weather the storm and compete this year. His staff is solid and things are in place to right the ship. I think Bama could be anywhere from 7-5 to 11-1 this year, but will bounce back in spades come 2025.

Yep, Downs and Bond were a problem faced with adversity.
Bond completely gave up with Alabama a play away from losing the Iron Bowl.
Downs brought down the defense after giving up 34 points to Texas. He could have been the best player on defense, oh wait he was.
Get this BS out of here.

We say that but now we’re begging for a WR and a CB out of the portal. So what’s the difference?

If you really wanna make lemonade out of lemons...I think this does several things:
1) Takes the immense pressure off of coaching staff. They arent expected to do much
2) Galvanizes the guys that stay and provides tons of motivation. Bama hasnt seriously been the season underdog in many many years and I think the players will eat it up
3) Huge selling point for DaBears first recruiting cycle that there is playing time to be earned at the best program in CFB
