re: Alabama's "Dynasty" is Over

If Alabama does not continue winning Natties it can't be because of:
Talent (You are about to win your 8th straight #1 class)
Facilities
Money

Why would you stop winning National Titles, in your opinion?

This is precisely what has driven Alabama's success since 2009. Alabama's program is highly committed to winning championships and it's administration is equally committed which provides a substantial operating budget. Bama's 2017 recruiting class is projected to finish at the top and claim the #1 class for the 7th year in a row. This continuous yearly influx of elite talent provides quality depth at most positions. This is where Saban deserves the most credit as a coach IMO. He gets all the credit for Alabama's run of championships but the fact is football games and championships are won with the players. He's a great coach that's been very successful with great players.

I can see why the OP is suggesting Bama's "Dynasty" is over simply b/c they recently lost and they have won 1 championship out of the last 4. This isn't a disservice to Bama and it doesn't diminish the programs incredible success since 2009.
