Yeaa you're right Im sure the schools resources and the players there before Saban had nothing to do with Saban being as successful as he i


Saban would have multiple NCs at every power 5 blue blood don't kid yourself. With no reputation and LSU in the dumps he signed the #1 class his second year, won the SEC his second year (took 3 at Bama), and won an NC in his fourth year (took 3 at Bama).

If he had a choice when leaving Miami he probably returns to LSU or chooses UGA. why fight bringing the players to you when you can go to the players, not to mention neither state has another competitive program in the state (GT isn't a recruiting threat to UGA).

Saban at UGA would be ridiculous

So you're right its the end for Alabama football as we know it if we don't get another elite coach


No, I just said another guy on the block.
Y'all will still get 10 wins often, similar to LSU, thats all you are though. Y'all will get a good coach for sure, y'all care and will spend the money. We'll see if he is elite much less a legend (you did try to hire RR).

When you have equal coaching to the other big 6 you'll see you have no advantage was my point. I was responding to your floor being current LSU. You aren't in a better city, you arent surrounded by better talent, and you don't provide a better atmosphere than some others in the big 6. Why do you think Tennessee in a rough spot right now?

Tennessee should be elite right now right? They were right behind Bama historically up until the last decade. Why weren't LSU, UF, and UGA not using their natural advantages against them for 40+ years... They must not exist right?

The main difference between Alabama and Tennessee is the year Nick Saban decided to leave Miami.

The SEC, and particularly the SEC West, was a little more competitive later in the decade than it was during Saban's time at LSU.

The coaching field was always equal, Nick Saban only been here for 10 years man, now if the other schools don't know how to perform or maintain a level of success that is not always the coaches fault that is up to the schools athletic dept to get the right person there.

I dont see what you are getting at here as Tennessee is projected to win the East and has elite talent on their roster now. Like I said dude, Louisiana, Florida, and Georgia always had an advantage in talent and resources and that did not do anything for them in the past however that doesn't mean that it wasn't there though it just means that your AD didnt put the right staff to utilize all those resources. I agree with some of the things you say man but to be honest it seems like you are making excuses on the shortcomings of other programs. Bama has to work under the same rules and guidelines as every school in the SEC and we have been successful while others have been less successful all the while working with more advantages in talent and scenery than we were. In the end, make no mistake before Saban and after Saban Bama always was the premier program in the SEC because we established a history of winning Championships and we didnt accomplish this from strictly having hall of fame coaches year in and year out.
