Noticed this on Bama board, just shows how things go with

If that fan base has a 7-5 season or less, they will burn that city to the ground! They have come to expect dominance over the years, and since Saban is still “in the building “, that would not be good!

Unless, they have massive departures via the portal and a complete breakdown, surely they won't lose more that 5.

They have some really good players. I’d put their loss over under at 1.5

Bama will probably win 10 nest year. Maybe more.

It's just a gut feeling I have, but I don't see Debeor working out at Bama. Mainly because he doesn't have a lot of ties to the South or the SEC; he's a PAC-12 guy. I had forgotten about Franchione. Man that was a weird stint he had at Bama. He ended up leaving Bama to go to Texas A&M because the looming NCAA sanctions.

That's a neat list but, obviously, means nothing since no coach in their history (and probably, most coaches at any school anywhere not just bama) has walked into this good of a situation before. they are on the downslope of the greatest dynasty that's ever existed in the sport and have elite facilities, support, etc. And make no mistake after losing a couple transfers and recruits they will still have a roster that's better than 99% of CFB.

Now, I do think it's likely they're going to take a step back but I mean 10-2 would technically be a step back from what they've been accustomed to. People thinking they're going to start going 8-4 yearly are in for disappointment, IMO.

Yeah I looked at their remaining roster the other day. They have good players still, but they are in big trouble in a few spots. DB particularly will be a struggle.
