Saban Is a Big Reason...

[VolFreakJosh]

Despite the Haslams & the Administration continuing to make questionable hires, there’s one obvious reason how it all started going downhill after Fulmer left...

Nick Saban started becoming successful as Bama’s HC.

Since then, it’s been pretty much a one man league whose dominance cannot be touched.

Sad but it’s the truth.

I don’t see any other team getting close to a National Championship as long as Nick Saban is still coaching.

It's the only reason i say we stick with a "recruiter coach" and bide our time till saban's retirement.

 

[Zues1]

Can we just get close to the SEC East, don't think Sabans the cause

 

[dduncan4163]

I agree that he's sucked the air out of the SEC and even CFB to an extent

 

[dduncan4163]

Hopefully he'll retire within the next decade.

Have to give credit where it's due. He has built a machine, and it's great for Bama fans. I agree with the above poster about hurting CFB though. I've lost interest because i know what's going to happen before it does. There's no romance to it anymore.

Man, can we make a list of all the things we blame?

 

[99gator]

I can’t wait until Saban is the problem for us

Used to be this way with Nebraska and Florida State and to an extent Tennessee. It's all cyclical.

Can throw Florida in the mix during the 90s with us. Sec was a two man race at that point

UGA is having some high ranked recruiting classes - they will dominate the east the way Bama is the west for many years

And even made football boring for Bama fans.

I blame the return of clear Pepsi, seems logical?

Maybe they will; maybe they won't. We will see in 2020.

New Coke

 

[Wezcoast]

There's lots of teams around the country that lay the pedal down every week , knowing a national title is a pipe dream. I want a team that loves to play and compete.

Saban is the reason we went 1-5 in the SEC East this year?

Also, Saban didn’t “start becoming successful” when he got to Alabama...pretty sure he was 48-16 and won a National title at LSU before he got to Tuscaloosa.

 

[BearCat204]

Dear God make it stop

Sure, just be sure not to put the head coach on there!!

The Louisiana purchase. Without that, we are playing in the 2001 BCS championship game.

Saban aint the reason we are Vandy's b-tch at the moment....

I quit smoking in 2005... we haven't been the same since.

 

[jboyinmiss]

I agree to an extent. How many remember the John Wooden years? Now that was dominance.

I'd just like to be able to beat Vandy, Missouri, and South Carolina. I don't think Saban has anything to do with our inability to do that
