I would place him and Kelly at similar odds to win a title in the next 5 years.
Their gonna be in a bit of a rebuild in the next 2 and then who knows where he is by the end of that.

When he fails to figure out the adjustment to the latest change then I'll believe it. He always adjusts and then it takes a few years for the next one to start to bite him. Look at their recruiting class they're currently building. He's not done yet

Bama is a few plays away from being a four-loss team, if they had to play Ga too.

A 71 year old beast isn't intimidating anyone. What your types don't understand that the undisciplined play under Saban is always the first sign of decline.

Secondly, the negative recruiting using Saban's age against him will only get worse. He's getting older, not younger. Even if it's only a handful of recruits that he begins to lose in recruiting battles on a yearly basis, it can be the difference between winning the West or going to the Capital One bowl.

They also almost lost to Texas & Texas A&M. The Arkansas game was a one score game starting the 4th quarter. They lost to Tennessee & LSU. They had less than 300 total yards of offense at home against Mississippi St. Get off of Saban's & Alabama's nuts. This 2022 Tide team isn't great by any means. That team has serious flaws.

It's amazing. Bama lost two games for during the season for the first time in a decade and people think Saban and Bama are falling apart. If anything they will dig in deeper. But the West is catching up so it will be harder for anyone to run the table going forward. The same thing will happen in the East. Tennessee isn't going to now just disappear, Florida will get better now with Napier and if Stoops stays at Kentucky they will be very tough.

People are delusional if they think Saban is going away in the next 2-3 years.

Once he hits about 75...I wouldn't be surprised if he starts a massive decline or even retires.

I get y'all's point, but surely you understand mine also. LSU could easily have 1 loss, but we could also pretty easily have 4. I just don't believe the king is dead until I see him in the casket and dirt being thrown on top.

He lost two games by two plays to really good teams.

Heard this song sooo many times, I know every word backwards and forwards. But we need him to beat Ole Miss, and we take care of biz in Arky and we’re in no matter what in the last 2 games. It is reassuring knowing that CBK is a Good coach and will not let this team look beyond the task at hand. If O or Less were in this situation I would put a Bill on Arkansas ML


Father Time is undefeated. That said, if he dumps his coordinators and brings in the right guys, they can be right back to where they were.

I also think Saban didn’t make the best hire to replace Cochran. Look at UGA’s physicality compared to Bama’s today. They aren’t the same anymore. UGA has obviously gained an edge on them and we’ve seen two seasons in a row of Bama not being as dominant on the lines as they once were. Forget the losses- THIS is the difference. That may be another change that would have to happen to get them back to dominating the conference.

You can never count Nick Saban out, but the clock isn’t on his side.

Saban is not long from retirement. You can see it. He doesn't have the same fire. His teams aren't the same as they used to be. I don't believe Saban will stay past his ability to remain effective.

True. And the only thing that has kept Bama relevant is superior QB play. One slip there and they will be a 7-5 team.

Have you seen his recruiting class this yr?

Bama's problems this yr come from coaching, o'line, and receivers.

This is flat out False. Bama’s no1. problem comes from a total lack of discipline by Saban.
