Saban and his teams get lazy after national titles

eh, i mean yeah he hasn't done great after national titles, but if you look at the 2004 season, we had jamarcus trying to be broken in sharing time with marcus randall ( ). we had a lot of talent around him, but we weren't primed to win another title. also, we weren't that bad. we still went 9-2, should have been 10-1 had we not missed an extra point against auburn and then get called for a personal foul blocking theirs at the end. the bowl game, yeah that sucked. bama, in 2010, replaced a lot of starters from 2009. they only returned 3 starters on defense. it appears they get lazy, but in reality, there hasn't been a repeat SEC champion since tennessee in 97/98, so i wouldn't just chalk it up to saban getting lazy. alabama is actually the only repeat west champion in the bcs era. it's a tough conference
