It’ll be great when Saban isn’t there anymore and Bama falls back to irrelevancy

Saban complains about things he doesn't like and then copies them immediately if they work. I have no doubt he hates spread offenses and NIL, but he hates losing more.



Yep, some old dogs can learn new tricks.

When Alabama does something remarkable in football you yawn, when A&M does something special your radar goes the frick off.

A&M is running the old school bag drop version of a NIL program, with an heavy staff to booster loop. There is literally not one single program remotely as egregious as to what these clowns are doing. No program is expecting anything to be done about it, but Saban simply said the hard truth out loud while everyone else just thought it.

Here we are year 2 & everyone is coloring between the lines for the most part vs going goon show like aggy.

Aggy did us a favor, most didn't follow their lead as we watched the train wreck that followed.. thankfully they weren't experienced enough to know that it was really simply more about aggy doing what aggy has always done..

frick up.

He did. No one stepped in and did anything about it. If everyone else is gonna play the game why not Bama. Why should Bama try and hold the high ground just so LSU fans don’t act like bitches.

Oh boo hoo. Saban is the best in the business even as a geriatric. You know what's up.

Saban is a dirty POS. This should not surprise anyone.

Ironically, if he was doing this for any other school, Bama fans would call him dirty for all the stuff he does. But since he’s doing it for them, he’s just a genius.

All is right now cause after 1 year of players just going for the money, they suddenly have bought into development, even thou his program no longer develops enough players to compete. First class POS

The cost of business has gone up, a Dodge Charger no longer gets it done. Saban has adapted again.

"A&M bought every player on their team. Made a deal for name, image and likeness. We didn't buy one player."

Please link the package as I want to see the deal.


We don't have to. The kid literally let it slip on CBS, during his planned announcement, that he wanted to be a Tiger before catching himself.

Good, since Saban is apparently benefiting from NIL, maybe people will start to speak up about it and fix it.

Of course, first they must admit that claiming it was a good thing and that it would hurt schools/coaches like Alabama/Saban was a bunch of stupid delusional wishful thinking to start with. That might be a tough hurdle to overcome.

Personally, my opinion on NIL and collectives hasn't changed. I hope everyone with a collective gets in trouble. Alabama didn't do it last year, but they definitely have one this year.

So is Finebaum going to ask Saban when he is going to apologize to Jimbo for his comments last year on buying players...

When your team wins the bidding war, we got more $$$ than you. Recognize greatness.

When your team loses it, NIL is dirty & ruining the sport. Their success isn’t legit.

Saban just adapted to those changes and beat everyone at it. That's why you're b.itching.

This recruiting class they bring in will play for two different coaches and many will transfer out between the transition and after it.
