re: Alabama regular season over/under win total – 9.5

While Saban was at Alabama, Alabama had some elite coordinators. They also had some that were pretty bad. There was a stretch of about ten years when he was having to replace them every year or two because they would get head coaching gigs.

Despite this, after Saban’s first season Alabama won at least 10 games every season. And of those 16 seasons, 15 of them produced 11 wins or more.

A good head coach can navigate coordinator changes. It will cost them a few games along the way but it won’t derail them.
