Unless you grew up an Alabama fan the only reason the guys have been going there is Saban because he has become such a central figure in who they are. When they crash they are going to crash hard. The recruits are going to black ball that place. So to all you bama fans add 10-15 years to you age now and that is when you might be relevant again.

At least the Miami dolphins are the best they’ve been in forever.

Yeah, because Bama has only truly sucked for a period of about five years in my entire life...

Meanwhile, LSU has been irrelevant for pretty much most of my life.

But whatever you say, bud.

Lol. Outside of Bear and Saban, y’all have been an extremely pedestrian SEC program outside of 1991-1994. We have as many national championship winning coaches since 2000 as y’all do since 1958, and 2 of yours were the greatest of all time and the 2nd greatest of all time.

Quit pretending that Alabama is some mythical place for football. Alabama football is Bear and Saban, not the program itself. Y’all are going to go straight back to the shite sandwich between your 2 GOATs as soon as Saban retires

more likely than you believe.

post saban era will be sketchy until somebody special comes along, it might take a very long time to find a person strong enough to cope with the demands of the job.

This is what we’re looking for.

When Bama starts going 5-7 every year, this guy is gonna snap. Just a matter of time.

Some of y’all are crazy.

Much of the SEC thinks a 10 win season is awesome (and they should). Ray Perkins, Bill Curry, Mike Dubose, Dennis Franchione, Mike Shula..they all managed that. All but Fran managed a top 10 finish.

Not really. No. They have a pretty high floor in multiple sports. Shula's teams were never that bad. Never Tennessee in the wilderness bad. Even their basketball teams were never that bad at their worst. More often than not they hung out around average with a year or so at above-average mixed in.

Been there, done that. 3 times, nothing will be as bad as the Ears Whitworth days.

Just go polish up the trophy case for a few years when it does.

I'm no Bama fan, but this is an absolutely shite take. So you're saying, outside of the fifty years or so covered in your post, Bama sucks? I think any team in the SEC would be happy to settle for that kind of mediocrity.

I don’t think the point is to label the gumps as “sucking”

It’s more about bursting the gump’s bubble regarding their belief that their state or university is special

All that “mystique” will die again when Saban retires just like it did when Bear left. The players chose Bear and Saban…..not Alabama
