To be fair, the ratings are all neck and neck when it comes to championship games/series. It’s not insane to say baseball is closer to softball, women’s basketball and gymnastics than it is football and men’s basketball.

Saban and Kelly had to adapt to the transfer portal and NIL. It’s not like it was ten years ago.

Saban doesn’t retire abruptly without the sudden change.

Kelly is now what Les Miles was when he left LSU. A solid resume but the game has passed him by.

Y’all were terrible by your standards.

No shite. Like I said, the infractions committee stopped just short of the death penalty because of the Albert Means punishment. Fran left because no coach could’ve sustained ten win seasons given the penalties.

Alabama was under sanctions that stopped just short of the death penalty. Scholarship reductions, two year bowl ban. Fran wanted out and aTm was the best option.

This is one of those scandals that actually doesnt have anything to do with the job in a way that would scare off a hire though.

The entire athletic department will be under review for being ran like shite. The AD is under a microscope. They just lost their national championship winning coach for a cheating scandal and now their head coach was cheating and it was swept under the rug, mental status be damned.

It doesn’t feel like this will go away.

They have the money, tradition and resources to make a damn strong offer. But the shite show and lingering ramifications are going to scare off many top candidates.
