You shouldn't learn your college football history from posts on SEC fan websites. They tend to not reflect reality.

1992: 13-0 National title
1993: 9-3
1994: 12-1 1st SEC West
1995: 8-3
1996: 10-3 1st SEC West tied w/LSU. Bama to SECCG
1997: 4-7
1998: 7-5
1999: 10-3 SEC Title
2000: 3-8
2001: 7-5
2002: 10-3 1st SEC West. Ineligible for SECCG
2003: 4-9
2004: 6-6
2005: 10-2
2006: 6-7

So, in a 15 year span that's 6 10 win seasons, 5 1st place division finishes, 2 conference titles, and 1 national title.

The only standard by which that's considered "so bad" is the Bama standard.


Short version - you're not very smart.

Why did you pick '99 as your exception but skipped '94, '96, '02, '05, and '08? All as good or better years. Is there some reference to this troll I'm not understanding?

Back on topic...Alabama was the second winningest SEC program of the 1990s behind only Florida.

So to say that Alabama was "so bad" from 1992 till 2009 is something of an inaccurate statement. 2000-2007 is probably when things went down hill and that was mainly due to NCAA probation, and even then we weren't THAT bad. We were decent enough to where people were wondering aloud why we fired Mike Shula at the end of the '06 season. We were ranked in the AP Top 5 as late as November 2005.

Bama was pretty solid from 1991 to 1996 under Stallings. Bama would have won several more SEC titles if those weren't the Spurrier GOAT years.

97-06 were due to bad coaching hires.

Paul Jr. He and Mal Moore didn't want to have a coach who they couldn't control, also had to be one of Bear's boys. That was the preference anyway.

I mean, I know your coaching hires during that time were questionable and you cheated and got some sanctions for it, but with Bama being Bama, I thought you would be able to overcome those things.

However, you guys were bad until Saban's arrival (sans a fluke year in 1999).

Did the fan base just give up after one bad season and didn't come back til Saban brought you to the promise land? I mean, you guys had some awful seasons in that span.

I will tell you, I was at the Florida-Bama game in 2005 when Prothro broke his leg and Bryant-Denny was not full.



People might have taken your post seriously until that. Literally nobody believes that.
