Alabama is a great job with the right coach.
I don’t think it’s a great job logistically.
Alabama doesn’t have great HS football, it’s a small state, plus I think the fan base is too narcissistic for average or good coaches.

Lordy 3rddown what are the teams from Alabama ever gonna do. You do realize that the most astounding and dominating run in college football history was the incredible 2009 through 2012 string of four national champions in a row FROM THE SAME STATE! And this tremendous domination of the other 49 states came with in seconds of being FIVE YEARS RUNNING when AU lost to FSU in the final seconds! Alabama is truly the epicenter of college football...

LOL @ you! Quality wise, they have tremendous HS football with great, dedicated coaches! Heck, Mobile produces more NFL players than some states.

Shug used to say "we can take our 30 from the state, Alabama take their 30 and their's 30 more out there who can beat either one"

I understand what you are saying, but I disagree. They are close enough to recruit Georgia, Louisiana, and Florida. They have great facilities bought with money made from all their winning. Administration and booster support. Tradition. I would say logistically they are in great shape. (Unless by logistically you are taking about location only)

Ever drive through Alabama? it is not a small state...at least size wise!

Which is a good thing, to me. I mean they demand the best. It's one reason they have had Bear Bryant and Nick Saban,

I'm surprised anybody is arguing that Alabama is not the best situation in the SEC. I can assure you there are 100 other coaches that would give their eye teeth to land there right now. Situations change, though...but for now it is easily the best situation.
