Honestly, it has to be frustrating to a coach like Saban who has dedicated his career to defensive strategy and tactics. I know I would be frustrated.
Think of the rest of college football and the fans though.
What fun is it really, to see the same teams win everything, year after year after year?
You know the teams from states that produce a lot of talent (though honestly Alabama actually has kind of overperformed).
Clemson broke through this past year. They had a great team, but they definitely didn't have as much talent as Alabama at most positions.
So if the current state of affairs every changes, what is the fanbase in general supposed to do? Be happy with seeing Florida, FSU, Georgia (hypothetically), A&M (again hypothetically), Texas, maybe Miami, with Ohio State sneaking in to win a title every now and then?
Because that's where it would go if you take this particular equalizer away at this time.
I know the board I'm on. I left Alabama off that list for a reason. Namely that Saban at Georgia, Saban at Texas (or A&M), Saban at one of the Florida's, beats Saban at Alabama. Just simple math and the way recruiting works.
Same story with LSU. Coaching being equal, even that catbird seat isn't as good as the other schools I mentioned.

Saban is a breath of fresh air. In his interviews he actually gives some clues to the intricacy of football. And he shows that he THINKS about how even minor rules impact the game overall.
The issue with OL blocking downfield has not been fully developed. If the 3-yd rule is casually enforced, then you have what amounts to mass picks on a passing play. If a TE can go downfield and pick a safety, even a reasonably accurate passer can do a lot of damage.
In the NC game there were several Clemson plays that were pretty close to being picks...perhaps some for Alabama too. But downfield blocking on a pass play is definitely a problem that may not in fact have a solution.
