Why? LSU won a natty after Saban left. Oklahoma and Ohio State have both been playoff teams after their natty title coaches left. IDK why people just assume Bama will fall off a cliff after Saban. I mean maybe we will maybe we wont but its certainly far from a given.

Why isn’t Texas good?

Nebraska, FSU, USC, Texas, Tenner … I know they each have their own stories, but I think we underestimate the way people just get sick of things and allow or contribute to their demise. Bama will suffer from the same fate to some degree at some point. “Things fall apart, the center cannot hold.”

In reality, when talking about modern coaching jobs, there is really no way to properly rank Alabama... I say that not because I disagree with the ranking, just that I don't know how you really know anything about that job. In the modern era of CFB they have had one coach, the greatest coach in college football, who was proven to be the best coach in the sport even before he got to Bama. So what makes them better than LSU,UGA,Florida as a coaching job? Nothing IMO. Their next hires will prove this ranking right or wrong, not anything done by Saban or beforehand.

No it won’t. Coaches have been winning national championships and it has been a top job for 100 years, and it will be the same for 100 years after Saban. Do you think Bama football started in 2008?

Exactly, if Texas was such a hot spot and top job why is it that their last 3 hires that span almost a decade have been on the underwhelming side!
Also go back and look at the ratings their games have pulled the last decade, overwhelming as well. They can’t match A&M’s ratings.
Hell, the A&M vs Colorado had 4.5 million viewers. Arkansas vs t.u. had 3.5 million
Texas’s bowl game rating last year was terrible. Their week 1 and week 2 rating was average. They haven't had even one game viewed by more than 7 million people in the past 11 seasons. We have had 5 games that broke the 7 million viewer mark in that same time frame. I am sure their ratings will tick up a notch in the SEC but their rating for a night game at Arkansas was pretty average..nothing special at all.
So baffle me’s the constant pumping of texass by the media and others in general.
Texas is all hat and no cattle, has been like that for a long time.

College football before 2000ish is irrelevant. Unless you want to try and convince me that Colorado, Nebraska, and Tennessee are all top 10 jobs. The game has changed so much the last 2 decades.
Bama will undoubtedly be good in perpetuity, but will they dominate LSU, Florida, UGA? No chance.

Bama has had Bear Bryant and Nick Saban. They have the money and support to continue to win big even post Saban

Fair take is fair

Alabama has won a National Championship in 8 out of the last 10 decades. I’m not sure any team out there can claim that status. What in the future will change the fact that Bama always wins.

If you’re LSU, yes.

Lol. Bama dominated those teams before Saban. Why wouldn’t they dominate them after Saban? Remove the sec and national titles Bama has won under Saban and the Tide STILL has more sec and national titles than anyone else in the conference.

Bama will be the worst for HC after Saban retires for about 5 years. Expectations will be monumental. Yikes.
Didn't your team (Texas A&M) give a guy a $75 million fully guaranteed contract and gave him a national championship trophy with the date left blank so they could add it in when he won one?
This conversation reminds me of a clip I heard from Andy Staples this summer where he was saying Georgia was the best job in the SEC because of the recruiting base, which is laughable because recruiting is so national right now. Hell...Alabama, Ole Miss, Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State, etc. are all starting QBs from California! The other thing that made his comment laughable is facilities. Alabama spares no expense on football facilities. Since 1998 alone Alabama has had three major expansion to Bryant Denny Stadium plus another massive renovation before 2020. Under Saban Alabama built a new weight room, expanded said weight room, then built an entire new weight room/sports science center. They just built a brand new nutrition center and they have expanded and renovated the indoor facility.
Speaking of indoor facilities...did you know Georgia opened their indoor facility in 2017? Do you know when Alabama built an indoor facility? 1986! 31 years before Georgia did. That's why every coach since Bryant has won 10 games in a season. That's why even an idiot like Mike DuBose won a SEC Championship.

Certainly it is at this moment. No arguing that fact.

Bama after Saban will be one of the worst jobs in college football history.
Huge expectations without being able to drop a few hundred K for your Louisiana tight end of choice: not the best situation.

Go back and look at Alabama's recruiting rankings before Saban got there. They were basically a top 12-25 recruiter.
Saban could go to 20 different schools and make them a "best job in the country" type of place.
Alabama is not the best job. Georgia, Texas, LSU and maybe even USC are all better on paper. But what makes Alabama so good under Saban is that he has cut out all of the booster bullshite that other schools have to deal with and the administration and bagmen are ALL IN on football... No matter what, and many of the other top jobs have chaos among the AD and the money men, etc.
Alabama has streamlined everything in the last 15 years, whereas other schools still have not.
