This.
You'd think some schools would have learned that these ridiculous coaching contracts actually create a degree of disincentive for the established coach to pursue the grind that originally made the contract offer worth the risk.
Now, these kids/young men are getting 100s of thousands to millions to play college ball and many are not even proven players at the college level, yet. I guess a shot at the pros is some incentive to keep pushing and developing, but there has to be a large portion who will otherwise lose some drive given their new access to funds.

Sorry, Gump.
Nobody outside of Tuscaloosa has the Gumps sniffing the CFP.
You’re a softball school.

Gumps should’ve been thankful for what they had.
18 National Championships and 30 SEC Championships.
I'm not only thankful, but I often go out of my way to remind football programs who put "we're # 2" on their SEC rings how it feels to be the best.

You're talking about them, you're keeping them relevant

In 2015, Bama had fallen from 3 to 13th in the AP by Week 4. That season ended well enough.

Nick Saban to the Media (2015) "...if it was up to you, we're 6 feet under already. We're dead and buried and gone! Gone!"
If 13th in a preseason poll is irrelevant, then the Bama bar is certainly too high for most programs. So, that perception of relevance is contextual.
I'll just wait to see how it plays out and enjoy some games and plays along the way.

How you guys feeling?
Still more relevant than LSU for 90% of its history.

I mean..seems like a bad idea to try and talk down to a team that beat you by double digits last time you played.....

I can't wait to see LSU fans go crazy about ending behind Alabama once again. LSU probably isn't going to make the playoffs this year.
We know. That's all you have to look forward to as a Mizzou fan. Just make sure you come cry here when LSU has a good season and makes the playoff in Lane's first year.
