The problem is that since Bear died Alabama has not been a consistent national power. For example. LSU has more SEC championships than Bama since 1982, more BCS bowls in the BCS era than Bama, more BCS championship appearances, currently more BCS championships, leads the head to series over the last 30 years. After the Bryant era, Alabama has not dominated the SEC consistently, and has
in fact been behind LSU since 2001. That is more than 10 years. The question could be asked when Saban leaves what will prevent Bama from sliding back into the middle of the SEC where they mostly have been over the last 30 years, being on 5th place on the number of conference championships over the last 30 years.
