With success comes hate. When you've been successful and on top for so long....it just comes with the territory. Everyone wants to see the best team fail. You as a Bama fan should realize this and not get so butthurt.

Same reason why everyone hates the KC Chiefs now.

LOL Saban was the only thing to separate Bama from the rest and he just went out with a whimper.

And is now succeeded by a coach that played in the most recent title game. Meanwhile Kelly hasn’t been in the playoffs since his previous team was dominated by Alabama.

And somehow still managed to go 1-1 against the best coach you will ever have, one of which was with a team that had no business keeping it within 5 touchdowns against any legitimate team.

I’m not saying DeBoer is a bad coach. He’s an average coach who benefitted from playing in a really bad conference. You can argue Kelly is a bad coach all you want, or an average coach, whatever. I disagree, based on his performance at LSU, but it doesn’t matter. LSU has demonstrated it can win championships with average coach. Bama cannot do that.

Kelly has demonstrated he can lose an average of 3.5 games per year at LSU and 0 titles, not even sniff the playoffs.

Congratulations

Saban averaged 4 losses per season over his first two years at Alabama.

From a team that played Patty cake Pac 12 ball and whose conference completed disintegrated.....and a team that was going to lose its entire roster to the portal regardless of the coach.

Bama is helping DeBoer more than he is helping Bama.

Yeah, those 3 and 4 loss seasons just scream above average.

Disingenuous pedantic tiger is disingenuous.

Saban trended up. Kelly is trending down already.

Kelly losses don’t have anything to do with Shula’s textbooks and the ncaa

Sure....

But the "we only had 13 scholarship players and a box of triscuits" excuses everything for Brian.

It's hilarious to watch Bammers cry about scholarship limits related to sanctions and then try to trash Kelly, who also had to deal with scholarship limitations.

And Kelly still lost less games than Saban over his first two seasons.

Kelly couldn’t even sniff a title at Notre Dame.

But if you want to pretend that Kelly is as good a coach as Nick Saban was then knock yourself out.

Meanwhile DeBoer coached in the title game a few weeks ago in only his 2nd year at Washington

Bama will still be good but the dominance is over.
And that's okay. You guys had a good run to be proud of.

I still think Georgia, Bama, LSU are the top 3 in the SEC for the next 5 years.

I've once again ruined EarlyCuyler's day with the simple truth that Saban lost more games than BK over his first two seasons.

Looks like my work here is done.

Right...like you'll leave.

Keep deflecting, because you have no answer for my point of the way the 2 seasons trended.
