Fans always want the players and coaches to love them and the program as much as they do - but they don't.
Saban ended up at Alabama because the stars aligned and he's stayed there because that's where he happened to be when he he was older and realized he wanted to stay in the college game.
They're all mercenaries, and you all are too. If someone offered you 3x your salary to go work in some rival school's football program you would do it. We all like football, but it's not as important as the mortgage.
There's a saying that people are only as loyal as their options. It's easy to be loyal as a fan when no one is throwing money and opportunities at you.

With his ego ,I have always been surprised that he accepted his failure in the NFL. I have bet friends in the past that he would try to prove to himself that he could coach on a level like Pete Carroll or Jimmy Johnson. Coaches who won in college with great talent and could translate that to a pro level.I do not think anyone would ever call Saban a great game coach.As it was said about Bryant , he could beat you with his players and then take your players and beat you. But you can not question that he is a great recruiter . It does not matter who his coaches are because they have better talent and do not have to spend so much of limited coaching time trying to develop players as other schools have to do . Talent is the key. This is the reason that Saban' s ex- coaches have not been successful. With the exception of Kirby. Ga recruits at a level the closest to Alabama. Time will tell with Kirby. If they can get the right QB before the NCAA gets them .
