This was quite the coaching job by Nick Saban this year...

We knew replacing Bryce Young would be exceedingly difficult, so difficult in fact Saban brought in a transfer QB in Tyler Buchner to spice up the competition at the position. He started against South Florida and might have had the worst performance by a starting QB at Alabama since Spencer Pennington suited up for the Tide back in 2004. He's now in the transfer portal as a lacrosse player.
Despite all of that, Alabama *still* won the SEC and made the playoffs.

Replacing the coordinators was the difference….

Made a huge difference. Tommy Rees started off bad but had really improved himself calling plays by years end. Still has his moments but he done a way better job coming down the stretch.

You do know that Nick is retiring, huh? And gunna be hard to find a coach that is good and wants to follow a legend.

I wasn’t really talking as much about the offense. Golding…..offense didn’t give up 52 points in Knoxville last year…. Bryce won in spite of BoB

The difference between Bama being in the playoffs and not being in the playoffs are a freakish Hail Mary, a dropped punt, and a season ending injury for Jordan Travis. None of that was coached (unless the dude who hit Travis was a Bama transfer, I didn’t see it happen).

You say that but I saw Ms Terry give a super brief interview after the Auburn game on the field as she was greeting the players coming off and she said something along the lines that this team is the one that he feels might be his greatest coaching accomplishments. I normally can’t really read Nick most of the time since he is usually pissed off in most press gatherings but this was an off the cuff statement that kinda made me wonder. I can totally see him pulling the plug if we win it all.

At the time, I created a thread about The MGM Grand in Vegas having a +5000 bet against a Bama natty.
I think that SEC officials bought in and were trying to make it happen.
At fifty to one I would've bet big but in Georgia that bet is illegal. Something was fishy about that line.

There's not enough space on this page for me to write out all the things LSU would have to do better to make it into the playoff.

Saban obviously has done a phenomenal job like he always does. But in reality the team should be at this level. Bama is at a minimum top 3 in recruiting every year. If they aren't talented and deep then these high 4 star and 5 stars aren't being developed. Hats off to him as for the continuous recruiting success. Replacing Young of course is a challenge but that's the opposite of a bare cupboard.

I could coach that team by buying a roster
And having the refs cheat for me.

Never seen a poster go full dumbass and bitch all in one post.

My point exactly. Something shady was going on. I knew that offering 50 to one against a Saban natty when Bama was undefeated in conference play made no objective sense. That's why I wanted to bet $1,000 on Bama.
With a hedge, That bet could pay off even if Bama loses to Michigan. Not saying that I would hedge. Michigan has no chance.

Never, he’ll be coaching into the 2030’s from the press box just like this guy did.
They’ll have to drag him away.
