re: Lessons that can be learned from this Bama exodus?

This topic doesn't belong here, but Saban thought he was clever by waiting until classes started at Bama before leaving, thinking it would lock guys in for at least a year. That plan backfired.

You really think Saban wasn’t smart enough to think about that?

Saban knows the rules better than anyone so he knew that there would be a new 30 day portal window that would open. Maybe his angle was that other schools would fil their rosters and wouldn't have room. Who knows.

Regime change always comes with heavy attrition and is only exacerbated by the free agency mentality that NIL has created. Saban has always sold kids on making business decisions, welp, they are.
