Between Bear and Nick, for over 25 years, Alabama had one magical season
Also won/shared an SEC title 3 times, played for multiple other conf titles, were a post-season game away from winning/playing for 2 other national titles, and 9 x 10-win seasons out of 25. Yes,there were also 5 x losing seasons, but coaching turnover and a ~10 yr setback from sanctions was certainly a factor. Given the context, it still wasn't that bad.
Bama in the 80s-90s was on par to ahead of that "great" LSU run from '58-'73. Of course, LSU between '73 and Saban were more than forgettable and the 90s were just bad.
In a comparable time frame to the 25 yr Bama period you highlighted, LSU cranked out 10 losing seasons, only 2 x 10 win seasons, and a .500 year to boot.
Not sure why you jumped to comparing LSu and Bama stats in a Bama accomplishment thread other than insecurities. But, it is firmly established that LSU was relatively poor performing to mediocre outside of some highlight years prior to Saban. While Bama has had prominent, sustained success for nearly a century since winning the '26 Rose Bowl.
Since Saban, LSU has had sustained success built on the culture of investment into the program he brought and change toward a commitment to winning. He showed LSU how to drill for the oil it was sitting on. He is directly responsible for the success of the 2000s. I'd go as far to say, he is also responsible for the other 2 championships as much as he is for denying the 2011 one. Les' was benefit from the program. The 2011 and 2019 years were a direct result of chasing Saban. Iron sharpens Iron. Without Saban at Bama, 2019 LSU GOAT season doesn't happen.

Hopefully going out and finding some more Joe Burrows
I'm hoping the REC has either burned down all of those trees that grow Joey Bs or stolen them to grow our own. Don't want another at LSU. No Thanks.

Coach O isn't your HC and all of the pieces that came together do not occur.
It is kind of straightforward

Not really. Likewise, LSU, AU, Clemson, and UGA (to a degree), and UF under Meyer all helped drive and improve Bama. A heightened level of competition and a raised bar for success have kept the SEC at the top.
That history plays out differently without Saban at Bama. From Meyer, to Les, Coach O, Tubs/Chizik/Malzahn, Kirby, and maybe even Dabo things would be drastically different.

Perfect example of Bama NOT getting all the calls in the critical moments.
At best its Williams reception with sole possession and shoulders down, as frame by frame has shown. At worst, it's dual possession and Bama ball by rule. But, no issues going with the ruling on the field either.
Classic game though either way. Have to admit I miss those defenses and that style of play.

What good with that do? Fans as individuals are irrelevant to a team's success.

Greatest dynasty in the history of college football by the greatest program.
Even the guys who left after just 3 years for the NFL still ALL got at least 1 NC ring during this period.
It will never be duplicated...not even close.

I’m just here for the back and forth. I can’t argue that Alabama has been a machine under Saban.

No doubt
No doubt that they are the most InsecureU fan base in the history of fanbases.
I enjoy witnessing it
LSU fans would be laughing at any incoming comments
He’ll we do it now.
I’m thinking about what I’m cooking the rest of the weekend and making sure I have enough wine in the house.

Sure, sure. That's why we keep trying to convince everyone that our 2019 season was the GOAT.
Oh. My bad.
