2008-2013. . Have you been paying attention?
This is precisely what I'm basing my opinion on. There has been a steady regression from 2011 to 2012 to 2013...and this 2014 team has more question marks than any in the Saban era (besides 2007) that I can recall. The program is certainly not on any kind of upward trend.

What's changed?
Your D doesn't strike fear into people like it used to. Your OL is no longer imposing and proven. Kiffin is your OC.
I could easily be wrong, this is merely my opinion...but it seems like Bama fans are in for a rude awakening in 2014.

How do you define rude awakening? Like 10-3, a top #10 finish and a birth in Cotton Bowl? That's certainly a possibility. There's simply too much talent the roster to have a legitimately bad season. Luckily for Alabama fans we've reached the point where anything but a national championship is considered disappointing. It's exactly where you want your program to be.
Opposing fans love to shite talk and it really is sad what the last 6 years have reduced opposing fan bases to. Teams all around the league are having losing seasons, losing games to scrub teams, coaching turmoil, etc. and the best you can do to try to insult Alabama is point to an 11-2 season with a top #10 finish season?
Seriously, taunts at Alabama these days have been reduced to "HAHA you guys didn't win the national championship this year!"
Have you noticed the only teams to beat Alabama over the last 6 years have pretty much all been top 5 teams?
Alabama is not expecting to win the national championship next year, in case you haven't noticed, none of the national pundits are picking them to, however with a key break or two they'll be right in the mix.
We get it, everyone is sick of Alabama and desperately wanting the nightmare to be over. The sad reality for ya'll is that as long as Saban is at Alabama we're going to be a permanent fixture in the top 10 and more often than not a contender for the national title.

2014 Alabama football a modern day Spanish Armada
I think (along with others) that this Alabama program holds the potential for a rather large explosion of unimaginable consequence. I base this rather on personality factors and areas of egomania which will be confined into a single space located on one sideline during a football game.
I call this a recipe for disaster and rangy, a last ditch effort in preventing an assured, forthcoming decline.
(Kiffin + Kirby) < Saban
Bama fans refuse to acknowledge the fact that they are riding into battle (this season) on a powder keg with a short fuse predictably lit early on when Florida comes a calling. Florida is a team who will test the Tide’s metal and if Muschamp & company find a chink in the elephant’s armor that house of cards will fold up like a gypsy circus tent on Sunday.
Aftermath
Alabama may lose its top three coaches this year in an unparalleled egomania of explosions or, they could dominate but, why would Saban take such a risky chance on an OC if one didn't see the fabric unfolding before your eyes?
On paper things look well and infallible but, the SEC could be compared with the English Chanel and best laid plans turn into the unforeseen disaster I feel will happen.
Take this all into account and then go play SEC football with your Spanish Armada Alabama.
Go Dawgs!
