Things came together nicely for you to get Saban. It was chance and that's it, but cling to your delusions, Gump.

Enjoy the recent beat down. I am sure there are plenty more where that came from.

See how this one sentence makes your thread oxymoronic. A bad hire doesn’t make the program inconsequential.

...yes. That's very, very different than Alabama's 5 years (with an asterisk for COVID)

Are you a Florida State fan?

Or are you talking about the 42–13 game?

I expect Bama's next move will be to identify a coach that it believes will be head and shoulders above the others. They will spend a ton of money.

I realize it seems strange to you for a team to not set a new market when hiring a coach.

It's not, but it's the only logical idea for Bama fans because it's the only thing that has worked.

Bama needs a great captain for the ship to work


Having Joe Burrow, Justin Jefferson, Jamarr Chase, Clyde Edwards-Hellaire, the Joe Moore winning top offensive line, Grant Delpit, Derek Stingley and Joe Brady wouldn’t hurt either.

Spurrier was offered the head coaching job at Alabama in 2006 but turned it down, instead telling the Alabama Athletic Director to consider Nick Saban for the position.

Bama is a sub par program at best without the greatest coaches of all time. Coaches make or break Bama, not the other way around.

Bama is an inferior program that solely relies on having the GOAT’s as coach for sustained relevance.

It won't surprise me at all to see Alabama make a play to Saban again with so much money it's hard for him to turn down.

It's much easier for the administration and the fans to think that they are one hire away vs. fixing the issues within the program that limit success for any coach that is not uniquely exceptional.

You did such a good job you had to explain it afterwards.

Imagine trying to mock the SEC Rant Poster of the Year.

LSU fans can’t let it go that Saban left LSU for Bama lol… it’s been 20 years ago ! Time to let it go.
