I believe DeBoer is a good coach, FWIW. But the problem was always going to be that no matter who Alabama hired in 2023, they were going to be following the greatest dynasty of all time.

The reality is that DeBoer is simply not going to put up the body of work that Saban did, and he probably won’t come anywhere close. But he’ll be alright, he’ll land at another west coast school that appreciates him.
Our OL had been slipping under Saban for a few years now. Bryce saved it a good bit, Milroe likely got the job because of what he could with his legs.
Saban almost lost to a Harsin lead 6-5 Auburn team in 2021, needing 4 OT after a 10-point 4th quarter comeback to get there. Almost lost again in 2023, needing 4th and 31.
We went from having high-quality OC to BoB and Rees.
DeBoer is doing just fine so far. We were more of a rebuild than people realize.

The biggest problem is that Bryant-Denny West is old, poorly designed, and falling apart. The maintenance costs are getting ridiculous. No one wants Alabama to sell Tiger Stadium. But that is a lot of money to spend for just one guaranteed win every other year.

Does LSU have any excuse for losing at all, to anyone? $50+ million player payroll. $25+ million coaching staff payroll (not including previous staff buyouts). Cignetti made playoffs first year and won it all in year 2, for a lot less money.

Probably
20/28 = 71.4% rounded down to 71
55/74 = 74.3% rounded down to 74
Deboer took over a dynasty
Kiffin took over a program on skid row
What's not mathing?

Give us a little bit of a break. After three weeks of every other fan base bleeding all over the board about LSU, you can give us one.

No we were actually all laughing at you. Congrats on beating Oklahoma though I guess.
So you were laughing at Bama after they beat you and won a game in the CFP? I mean ok?

In fairness, Saban wouldn’t have the success of pre-NIL / portal Saban.
No coach will be able to stock three and four deep of insane talent like Saban did during the dynasty. It’s just not possible in today’s game.

I will never understand, as an LSU fan, why some of you talk shite to bama. They have fricking owned us for the entire series.
They are the greatest program in CFB history.

I give Alabama credit here. They have a coach that has gotten them to the playoffs and year to year gotten better. They likely recognize like Georgia did when we kept Richt around that while the results aren't where they wanted to be they were better than anyone they could replace him with would be. If Bama has "their guy" out there like Georgia did with Kirby (or Bama with Saban for that matter), rest assured they'll move and because they don't go chasing every shiny thing with respect to coaches they will have the financial flexibility to do so.
LSU owes Brian Kelly 54 million. What happens if in 2 years Lane isn't the guy? You gonna cough up another 50 million? I hate Bama, but they are at least a functional institution in this regard
