Just watched an entire segment or two on Finebaum (had to see the melt today).

Long story short - the word is Nick Saban is looking to make some major changes on the defensive side of the ball.


14-1 - still making changes. Not excuses.

Saban is ruthless, he cares about nothing but winning. Freinds dont win games. I wish out coach was like that...

Things winners do.

Anyway, we should keep E on as OC because we could've been worse.

Saban didn't seem to care that much last night. Didn't see his typical fire, especially when there were so many breakdowns in the secondary, his primary area of expertise. He seemed resigned to losing last night, especially in the second half. Maybe I'm reading too much into his sideline demeanor, just the way it looked to me.

Strangely enough, it was the defensive backfield that was the weak point of the defense...which is Saban's ball game.

Constantly changing coaches doesn’t always bring success. I think Clemson proved last night tht continuity in a staff can have a lasting impact.

I’m not saying staff continuity is everything but it definitely helps. If you clear house constantly you’re gonna have chaos.

Then again he’ll likely just keep winning.

.Orgeron could learn a thing or two from this. There are a few areas on LSU that need upgrading. OL coach, OC etc... LSU could learn a thing or two from Saban

He made wholesale changes after last season. It's his MO.

What is sho king is that they had to depend on a true freshman and an LSU reject to play at cb last night. It’s not that they aren’t recruiting well.

Must be nice to be that committed to championship level success.

Gah, how I envy such detail.

Bama has a tremendous QB who had an OC as his QB coach.. and LSU didn't even have a QB coach..

Now they are looking to make defensive coaching changes.. Incredible.

I am going to go ahead and say this even though some of you may disagree.

Saban is 68 years old and he is at the age where many top assistant coaches are going to be hesitant to come to Bama at this point in Saban's career.

To make wholesale changes on his staff sounds great but this isn't 5 or 10 years ago. Top coaches already have good jobs for the most part and they are going to wonder just how long Saban is going to hang on.

It may not be as easy bringing in top coaches as many think. After all, how did Saban end up with who he has now and who picked them? Saban did.

Time waits on no man.

Saban gets a bunch of new coaches each year, because everyone hates working with him and can only take it for so long.

Working for Saban is like eating only kale every single day. It might be good for your career, but you despise every minute of it.

Last time I saw Saban like he was last night was LSU /Iowa.
I’m hearing Saban is moving on from Bama.

Yet we lose 3 games, don’t go to the playoffs, play a scrub team and we keep ours intact

Why would Saban do this? It takes a minimum of 3 years for a new coach to get acclimated and get his players in and get them to know the scheme. Bad, bad move. Everyone knows it takes time for these things to work...
