Between transfers and NFL declarations, Bama has lost 41 players. Schools are allowed 85 scholarship players. This means, discounting walk-on players, Alabama has lost just shy of half its team since the end of their season. And that’s on top of losing virtually their entire coaching staff.

Pffft, they’re in the capable hands of DeBoer. No drop off whatsoever.

With the lone exception of Chokelahoma who simply handed the keys to a popular coach already on staff, mass exoduses happen with every coaching change.
The big difference here is the mass exodus usually consists of players that were either underperforming their high school rating, or not the quality of player needed to help the coach keep their job. This is an Alabama team full of 4-5* players who just won the SEC and went to the playoffs. If it weren't for that nobody would be surprised by this.
Other than the lone example I gave above, coaching staff turnovers are messy no matter where it happens, Bama is no exception. I do think little Nicky thought he could stop most of the bleeding by announcing he would still be around the program, (similar to Stoops) but the problem is he didn't have a young, up and coming coach already on staff to transfer the crown to. I am kinda surprised he didn't put off retirement until he got someone like that on staff, but whatever. It's done now.

At first I figured DeBoer would last about as long as Dennis Franchonie. After seeing these numbers he may not make it as long as Mike Price.

Feels premature, we could definitely lose more

you forgot the shadow staff, all of whom were dismissed by DeBullshit
Posted on 1/20/24 at 2:38 pm to Decisions
But Coach DeBullshit says "I'm not at all alarmed"

Venables wasn't "already on staff". He came from Clemson.
The only coaches that were retained were Bedenbaugh and Murray.
Yet we retained our recruiting class, added to it, and didn't have any mass exodus.

Amazing!
77 days of melting, somewhat of a record.
And now 10 continuous days of Bama threads. Now on late night and weekends. Like CNN for trolls.
Beautiful work, keep it up.

I think you will, as well. This thread was meant as more of a long-winded eulogy, not a Sunday obituary. I can assure you it will be updated.
Feel free to alert your next of kin.

You can call it what you want to... but the following stats will help remind you of your place in this conference and how your daddy treats the LSU program. 56 - 27... more than twice as many wins than LSU.
Damn, I understand why you're mad.
