re: 10 years of Saban at Alabama= everyone is getting tired of "the process"

Losing a championship always hurts the legacy of a team. I think back to the undefeated Patriots season that came to an end in the Super Bowl. However, I don't remember that tarnishing their reputation as a football program.
Alabama is a machine. One game doesn't turn the tide. Every player on the roster was part of a number one class. We have a stockpile of analysts that would be great coordinators at any P5 school. We have the best staff.
We aren't going away just because we had a one-loss championship season with a true freshman QB. On the contrary, that true freshman will be much better in year 2.
My final point - Saban and Bellichek are cut from the same cloth. Bill is older. I'd look for Saban's decline once the Pats start losing
