re: My guess is Cristobal may leave as well

Cristobal isn't going anywhere.

Cyrus Kouandjio was a huge disappointment individually, but otherwise the OL did well considering the injuries and the fact they were replacing arguably 3 of the greatest lineman in Bama history. Every facet of the team failed each other in the Oklahoma game, everyone was at fault. Routes were dull, QB holds the ball too long, gets sacked. QB refuses to step up into the pocket, WRs don't get the ball, gets sacked.

They wouldn't let him recruit this glorious OL class just to "force him out". There's actually a lot of effort in than in the past from the OL coach. Finally getting some quality interior prospects, rather than picking through coal for diamonds.
