Every championship team has some luck. Look at every SEC national champion during this run and find one without luck along the way to their title.

That said, you don't win 3 titles in 5 years based on "luck". The man is the best coach in the country and it isn't really close. He's also be hurt by "luck" that has prevented him from winning more titles.

bammer won't get a big name to replace Saban

You sound so objective when you refer to them as "bammer". You're wrong, though. Alabama will be set up for success due to stacked roster. Someone will look at Bama at the point of Saban's retirement they same way LSU was viewed in 2005 - an amazing opportunity.

I believe that Alabama will go into a Perkins/Curry cycle after Saban leaves. It will be impossible to keep the success at current level.

The next HC will have Patriot ties and offensive minded coach.

This is true.

I would add that a little luck will not help you if you are not in the game.
Whether it is Mount Cody blocking a FG, or running pick plays in 2 minute drill, or hitting a Hail Mary, or setting up and executing a FG return- none of these things matter if you are not playing good enough for LUCK to matter.
