Finebaum sounds like a bama fan on the rant. He said this is Saban’s worst coaching job. They are 7-2 right now and can still make a ny6 bowl. He seems very butthurt

Wow...

ETA: the takeaway is that it's clear Saban hates the current state of CFB because he can't be the dictator/lord of the manor he used to be. Players have too much power.

Mind you, I agree with him. I hate NIL and the transfer portal. But CFB is becoming more like the environment he faced in Miami in the NFL and we know how that turned out.

The second Kelly signed jus contract the conference changed just on his reputation alone which I sure coaching circles is even higher than what fans might think. He might not be the most charismatic guy of all time but he brings a proven system of doing things that has resulted in success everywhere he’s been. Now he just has true thoroughbreds to play for him. Guaranteed that bothered Saban more than any coach hiring in the SEC since Kirby Smart went to Georgia. The Bama dynasty is over. There’s too many other very good teams in the conference, it’s not just LSU and Georgia chalking them anymore.

When Saban can stack the deck with “NIL” before it was transparent and legal, his greatness flowed. Now, his greatness plumbing needs roto rooter.

At least it feels like the foothills of change.

Starts with BK locking down the boot. Time to pounce.

This is Saban’s worst coaching since 2007.

He has a stacked roster and a Heisman winning QB. He’s losing because his players are out of position, committing penalties, and opposing coaches are out-scheming him.

Maybe 'Bama has been a little over-rated this year because of their "brand" name....and it's possible that some SEC teams are catching up to them....

Saban may not like the NIL stuff, but it may be putting some parity into the sport.....

The hell with Finebaum! Anytime he comes on, I change the station. His opinion means absolutely nothing to me

A face made for radio. He looks and sounds like a dumb Alabama hillbilly.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Nick Saban’s super power is recruiting and building a process with attention to detail that can be repeated over and over again.

He gets the best players and puts them in a position where they shouldn’t fail. He’s never been the best coach on gameday - in his mind, he’s got you beat the minute the ball kicks off.

If you can keep it close with him, he gets conservative and tight. That’s why bad LSU teams (2021 and 2014) can hang around with his Bama teams.

He said much the same a few years back after Malzahn had some success against Bama - that Saban's reign was over and Gus had his number. That didn't work out as quite a few of his prognostications don't.

“Alabama losing becomes the story of the day”

That tells you everything you need to know about Paul Finebaum and Alabama.
