Fricking idiot.....so Bama's history of success is just all chalked up to luck? Bama has been succesful going all the way back to the leather helmut days. Multiple coaches have won titles there....terrible coaches have won there.....it takes a lot more than just a coach to win....it takes the resources and commitment to winning and no one has been more succesful at that than Bama.

Look at it this way under Bryant Alabamas experience was winning football games.
After Bryant, finding coaches was new to Alabama. The rest of the SEC were ahead of Alabama as far as coaching searches went. Bryant caused how many fellow SEC schools to fire and hire head coaches during his time. I counted roughly 47.

What about claiming a national title while being banned from a bowl?

It depends on who they hire after him. Considering the dearth of good head colleges in football, I say there's a 50-50 chance they fall back to the middle of the pack and compile an average record of 8-5, 9-4 for the next ten years until they hire another elite coach.

Right, you calculate a 50/50 percent chance of Alabama compiling seasonal records of 8-5 and 9-4, or close to that, for 10 years until they hire another elite coach.
Of course, you calculate this based on one 10 year period in which Alabama was under crippling and draconian sanctions.
During one ten year period, out of one hundred twenty two years, Alabama has had the type of averages you calculate.
This tells me that you are a horrible statistician or just a rival fan of a rival team who can't be objective due to irrationality.
Amirite?

Alabama won 21 of its 24 SEC titles before Saban. They'll be alright.

Alabama has had a history of turning good coaches into great coaches and making mediocre coaches seem better than they truly are.
Take Gene Stallings for example. The man had had exactly ONE winning season in his 11 seasons as a head coach. His career coaching record (college combined with NFL) upon arrival in Tuscaloosa was 50-79-1. He went 70-16-1 in his seven seasons with the Crimson Tide. That includes three Top 5 finishes, a conference championship, and a national title.
DuBose managed a 10-win season and a SEC crown. Shula managed a 10-win season. Mediocre coaches who somehow were able to produce Top 10 seasons.

So do a lot of schools.

Mike Archer won 10 games and an SEC title at LSU. Gerry Dinardo won 10 games as well. Terry Bowden won a ton at Auburn. Jim Donnan won 10 games at Georgia. I could go on and on and on.
Alabama is not any more special in this regard than other big schools. You've just lucked into better coaches over the years than anyone else.

No, you're the idiot if you think the jerseys are as or more responsible for success than players and coaches.

Pretty much, yeah. At least as compared to other top schools. You're really going to say Bama would be where they are right now if Drew Brees goes to Miami instead of New Orleans? If you do you're completely delusional.

Similar to LSU, talent will still be there so it would take a colossal failure as head coach not to be successful initially. The worst thing Bama could do would be to hire a coach in waiting which is not always a good thing. My guess is Fisher will crawl to Tuscaloosa for that job once it opens.
