Flashback: "Alabama has a Nick Saban problem..."

An oldie but a goodie from the September 23, 2015 episode of The Herd, recorded just after our loss to Ole Miss. Joel Klatt claims Alabama has a "Nick Saban problem" and Cowherd happily agrees. Colin then goes on to claim that Michigan State is a better program than Alabama (mere months before getting shut out by the Tide 38-0 in the Cotton Bowl).
YouTube
Since this episode aired, Alabama has accomplished the following:
- A 77-5 (.939) overall record
- A 46-3 (.938) record in the SEC
- Five CFP appearances
- Five national championship game appearances
- Three national championships
- Four SEC championships
- Two Heisman Trophy winners
Now I know these segments are made for the clicks but a bad take is still a bad take. This one gets progressively worse each and every year.

I watched that and remember linking it here after 2015 title game. What a couple of squawking hens.

Joel Klatts entire schtick before this past season was Alabama has never played this many power 5 teams consecutively. He's still a dolt.

Cowherd never has, but Klatt has completely owned up to this and made fun of his take. Still can’t believe they said it so emphatically, like it was a foregone conclusion.
77-5 since then

I hate how since the playoff system started everyone pretends P5 = strong schedule.

Im not being a Cowherd apologist because I really don't like him. But once a week, every week of the year he does a Colin Right/Colin Wrong segment. ON more than one occasion he has admitted to being wrong about Saban being able to adapt and dominate.

For Alabama's purposes, an all P-5 OOC schedule of Nebraska, Oregon State, Kansas, and Georgia Tech is really no different than playing 4 FCS teams. The odds of us losing any of those games are like 1 in 1000. All the griping about schedules, recruiting, the number of teams in the playoffs, etc. can really be boiled down to "how do we prevent Alabama from winning every year". It's got nothing to do with improving the state of the sport. Like I keep seeing people say that the "answer" to the lack of parity in college football is to reduce scholarships down to something in the 65-75 range. You're talking about eliminating like 2000 scholarships, which means thousands of teenagers are denied an opportunity to play college football, just so you can throw a wrench in Saban's gears for a couple of years until he adjusts and continues dominating you. It's just pitiful at this point.

The only Nick Saban problem Alabama has is finding a worthy replacement when the time comes.

I love this video so much

I post this video to any halfway appropriate thread almost once a month.
It gets upvoted by every fanbase on the website
It’s such a shockingly terrible take that I legitimately believe they both should take 10 minutes of a show to talk about how wrong they were.

The worst part about it is they claim Michigan State is better than Alabama.
Didn’t Alabama go beat the shite out of them soon after?

I think I’ve listened to 10 minutes of Cowherd my entire adult life and that was 2:16 of them.
