LSU should roll out of bed and hit their heads against the headboard on 10 wins a season, with the high school talent in Louisiana and no other power 5 school in the state. Also with the proximity to Texas.
But you just said:
quote:
It is LSU that is much closer of going back to irrelevance.
So which is it? There's no tangible asset that Alabama has that will keep them in the title conversation every year after the GOAT Saban is gone.
Alabama's historical success is built on being a blue blood and then being lucky enough to have two GOAT coaches.
Maybe they hire another GOAT, maybe not, who knows.

LSU can’t get out of the way of itself, that is as tangible as you can get. Watch and see. LSU is in a window right now that could be opened or shut. If it is shut and not you lay a 7-5 or 8-4 record this season, it closes that much more. You are on the Brink one way or another. Your program is headed towards the crossroads, you better watch out, you better not blink, that truck may hit you blindside at the crossroads. Where are you at LSU, are you going to take that next step of consistency or maybe 5-5 record. What is it? Is it irrelevance knocking at your door?
Again The evidence is there, Bama is a Historical Blue Blood that will not go away for long, ever. History, resources, culture. We border Georgia and Florida, as well as have solid High School Football. Not to mention A national presence, TV ratings bonanza. Bama draws people, money(espn), people love to watch, love to hate. 2023 will be the best high school recruiting class in the state of Alabama. The Bama locomotive is at the top of the mountain and gaining steam.
6-10 more years of the goat, every recruiting class has a ring! It will take years for the locomotive to reduce its steam OR do we just keep refueling.

Bama football wasn't born into a status of football royalty.
They created and sustained it. Primarily, the "Game That Changed The South" (1926 Rose Bowl) turned the "tide" for how southern football would be perceived nationally and is where Bama's blue blood status began.
They'd play in 6 Rose Bowls and go 4-1-1 in them before finally the Pac and Big would make it exclusive.
Denny leveraged football success to build a national brand and increase out of state recruiting. Had he not pissed off Wade, he would have likely retired from Bama as well known for success as Bryant and Saban. To be fair, Thomas replaced Wade and he was hardly a slouch. 2 x undefeated seasons, no losing seasons and 3rd best win % all time at Bama as he built off of Wade's base at kept it going. He played for Rockne and coached Bear Bryant. He died relatively young, or he too may have gone on to do much more.
Both he and Wade are HoF coaches like Bryant, Stallings and Saban (one day).
Bottom line, Bama has an established history of football success. The 2 x GOAT CFB HCs left their mark, but it has history beyond those 2. It built and sustained success for a century with only 2 x decades (50s and 00s) with any period of mediocrity to bad football.
Bama will inevitably take a step back post-GOAT. And, another 50s/00s will certainly come at some point. But, the program will sustain success in the long run.
