Whatever "It" is. Bama has lost "It"

Used to be an intimidation factor with Bama - gone
Bama used to impose their will on their opponents, especially late in games - gone
Teams would lose the game mentally before they ever played the game physically - gone.
Not sure what else "It" involves but clearly Bama has lost "It."

They're fans are saying Scott Cochran and since he's left they're not as physical

All good things must come to an end. It’s inevitable. frickers have had so much success. They’re so miserable that can’t even enjoy that.

Just googled him and didn't realize he was an LSU guy that got his start in coaching here
Dude has been a part of 7 national championship teams...pretty incredible career

Too bad he likes adderall!

Saban doesn’t have elite assistants anymore and that keeps his teams from being what the once were. In 2015, he had Kirby, Lane, Mario Cristobal, Billy Napier, and Mel Tucker all on staff. Compare that to the island of misfit coaches he has now.

hate to say it but one reason for the diminished intimidation factor is all of the hired guns we’ve brought in over the last few years, they didn’t grow up around the SEC, aren’t in awe/skeered of the gumps

Idk the refs still seem to be for them and that was always a big part of the “it”

That loving feeling?

I think it is the attention to detail. Saban is old and can't micro manage like he used to. I have never seen a Saban coached team with as many penalties and other mistakes as this one. They are probably cutting corners in practice as well.

they’re all considered pros now, do the job you’re being paid to do

I dont think Bama has necessarily lost "it". The thing is is that they've raised the bar of the college football and other schools had had enough and are starting to catch up.
I still don't believe all this talk about how the bama dynasty is over. I hope that it is, but SEC fans have said that after every single bama loss going back to like 2014. It has always been wishing thinking. With that being said, it certainly appears that it could be the beginning of the demise giving how old Saban is. Heres to hoping it is.

Now yes, the 2022 Bama team isn't the dominant juggernaut they were in past years, but they haven't "lost it."

Saw a grown man blubbering after the game. Snot running down his face… the whole nine yards. Wtf is wrong with gump fans? I can’t imagine a life more miserable. It is literally all some of them have.

This game reminded me a lot of those Les era games where LSU had Bama but snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Told my dad in the stands that I’ve seen this movie before. So glad to be wrong and witness a break for LSU in the end.

I’ve felt this way for a while. go back to last year when we should have beat them with that abomination of a team. They are still very good and will still contend for championships. But they have lost the aura of invincibility that they had from 2011-2017ish. It probably started with that arse beating they took from the Trevor Lawrence Clemson team. Kind of an Emperor Has No Clothes moment.

I don't believe they've lost it, but they now have a team in the West that the coaches expect the same standard of excellence that Saban has been promoting all along. The alignment is here.

They are also 2 plays in the Texas and Texas 4&8 games from being a 4 loss team looking at going to a bowl game in Nashville.
Notice that us and Texas 4&8 ran basically the same last play of the game, but we can coach and execute and 4&8 can't.

All of this is wrong. Bama didn't dominate because folks were intimidated, folks were intimidated because Bama used to rape them.
Bama used to only have one or two close games per year. They were the most talented team in the country, and they were the most relentlessly aggressive. Is that the way they look now? Not to me.
