His new coordinators may be an upgrade from the previous two however they aren't anything special.

He hasn't won a natty since the shortened COVID season and the last two years his teams have been woefully undisciplined (biggest red flag that he is losing some of his "juice" imo)

The teams have performed well overall however last season you could say they were 4 points from being undefeated in the regular season BUT 11 points from being 8-5 (A&M, Ole Miss and Texas).

Bama is nigh unbeatable when Saban has his ducks in a row but I think this will be a tell-tale season for the future of the GOAT.

What does this have to do with the best basketball team in the country?

I think they'd have to have a season where they win less than 10 games, in the short term.

Did I say anything that wasn't true in my OP?

So you want us to turn on the GOAT? If tRant had to take an IQ test to post, you would only post on the political board.

Go ahead and bookmark this post. If you guys go two more seasons without winning a natty then it's going to get ugly.

I'm not saying you won't win one but if it doesn't happen then buckle up.

Football season has been officially over for a month. Your team won its 2nd natty in 2 yrs. Makes an off season post about Saban. Ahhhhhh Georgia fans.

Nick Saban/ Alabama are like what Donald Trump was to CNN. As much as people hate them, they need them. Bama has to be part of the conversation. It's boring talking about Georgia

I think you are confusing Alabama fans with LSU fans. Alabama fans do not turn on coaches if they win them a title. Once you win a Title at Alabama, it’s up to the coach when they want to hang it up/move on. Was true for Wallace Wade, Frank Thomas, Bear, Stallings, and will be true for Saban.

It's a fair question

Up to this point, the criticism has been confined to coordinators, which has made it increasingly difficult for Saban to find competent assistants.

Mostly this is fans, but Saban occasionally throws some in-game tantrum on camera during the games to give the cue to fans that it isn't his fault, but some assistant coach's.

At some point though, as the title drought gets deeper in its march through the desert, their entitled fan base will turn into wolves and come for Saban.

Hopefully the administration finds an amicable way to help him retire in the fashion he is due. He's been an asset to the school, and doesn't deserve the ire of an irrational fan base.

Kirby toppled the king. But now Heupel, Jimbo and Kelly have marked the end of an era. Hopefully the fan base will have some class about themselves during the funeral of their now-defunct dynasty.

Another "Saban is done" offseason thread.

How unprecedented.
