Bama's defense is predicated on the perfect play call. It works well with a slower tempo. But once teams are able to ramp up the tempo, Bama's defense is effectively neutralized.
Not true. Ramping up the tempo doesn't work so well when you lose 3 yards on first down, and that's what happened most of the time in '11. Bama's D this year wasn't dominant, but it isn't a philosophical problem.

This, exactly.
Bama isn't changing anything. The team just wasn't as good this year. We lacked a true 3-4 NT, two of the linebackers weren't as good as years past, and there was a huge drop off at CB due to lack of talent and inexperience with the younger guys.
