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?

I dont. I havent seen anybody that predicted the amount of player exodus that has happened since the new coach was hired. Everybody predicted a drop off of performance simply because Saban is gone.

Bama would have been better off announcing before the season ended but they got greedy and thought they could trap this recruiting class

Moving is a pain in the arse. I believe he thought once they settled into a routine with classes, he’d minimize the exodus as Bama hired replacement very quick.

As much as it pains Bama fans, the brand is absolutely worthless to a significant number of today’s football players. Their loyalty was to their position coach or Saban, and can easily be bought by the next guy.

I don't think he cared. In fact, I wouldn't put it past Saban to purposely sabotage the program on the way out. The last thing he would want for his legacy is for another coach to come in behind him and be successful.
