It will be like the time Coach Bryant retired. No big meltdown, just moving on to find the next championship winning coach.

Even Bryant doesn't compare to the run Saban has had. Hell you had fans calling for Sabans job when you lost to OK in the sugar bowl. The meltdown is coming whether you want to believe it or not. Dabo is unlikely and frankly I'm not sure his campy attitude would fly there even if you could get him. I'm not sure who else you could get that would even have a shot to compare.

This isn't saying you guys are going to suck. Far from it. But to think that anyone is going to live up to Saban is foolish and your fanbase has come to have unrealistic expectations.

What you don't understand is that it doesn't even matter. Alabama the football program has lapped the field at this point, as the single greatest program of all time. No one is catching Bama. Everyone is playing for 2nd buddy.

Our unrealistic expectations come from Saban, so believing his successor will produce the same results is silly.

That being said, Saban may have a hand in determining who the next coach will be. And whoever comes in after him will have a loaded roster for at least 3 years. The epic downturn most are hoping for may not happen as quickly as you think.
