      It is out of hand (need more regulations especially on player payment no kid should be driving a damn Lambo or have a penthouse) but how can you be ok with coaches leaving to come to bama and hurting their former team and not be ok with players leaving to better themselves? Saban was fine, man wanted Drew Brees and his superiors thought they knew better. So he came here. I have no issue with coaches seeking to better their lives if done properly. Players should be given same curtiosy especially when a coach like Saban is no longer your coach. Like I said, I agree it should be better regualted and I am sure the new coach will do fine, but he will never be Saban and these kids know that. This whole loyalty to a damn million dollar institution like a university is crazy. All they see students and players as are dollar signs, they don't need to be loyal to shit other than teammates.

    When Caleb Downs goes to the pros - he will have new coaches, defense, system, and terminolgy. He will never play for the GOAT again. The pro evaluators would like to see how he can learn and adapt to new defensive systems. Maybe leaving without having the opportunity to show his ability to adapt is not such a smart move. 🤔

      I was going to post this exact same thing. He won’t be able to pick which coach or which team he is going to play for. It is better to have been exposed to different things. He wants to go to the NFL. He seems to want to follow his buddy TRobb to Georgia. If he stays at Alabama, his position coach would be a guy that coached the secondary at the Dallas Cowboys. That is the NFL.

    Best positive about this is that Bama will have some consistency at the coordinator positions for the next few years. Don't have to worry about someone poaching a Saban assistant. This should give Coach DB time to lay down a great foundation moving forward. The assistants and coordinators in place now will develop a new version of Bama football that I'm personally excited to see.

    Commitment means nothing in college football. I have been done with the sport for about 2 years. This is no longer an amateur sport and I see no reason to watch a mini-camp NFL. High school football is still somewhat competitive, but it as well is going in the wrong direction. Player's making more money than their position coach is absurd.

There is absolutely no way that T-Rob should have been able to walk away to Georgia taking the best player in the country and on the team with him. It is not Debour's fault but that is unacceptable and if this was planned and transitioned properly then this mass exodus would never have happened. Trey Amos our #1 corner is in the transfer portal too now, and don't forget that Earl Little Jr who would have taken his place is in FSU now because he thought he wouldn't get any playing time.

    Prior to Saban I was talking to an assistant coach with the Razorbacks. It was the DuBose era. I was a miserable Bama fan at the time. He said anyone can coach you just need the horses. Jimbo asked me at Dad's funeral what I thought of Saban. I told him we need the horses, Saban needs to recruit. He said, oh he's recruiting. NIL has taken hold to get the horses now and we've lost the Saban discount. You didn't need as much money if you're playing for a GOAT. I'm disheartened at this change. Did Saban run from coaching as these players are running for fame and money. I'm somewhat suspect of this. Maybe in this vacuum there can be a rebirth of pride but in reality you still need the horses. Arkansas has all kinds of pride but no horses. I can see Texas, Georgia or Ohio State with prima Donna's playing just hard enough to not get hurt keeping an eye on their respective businesses to get the big check. Then it comes back to coaching. A 3.5 star giving all against a 5 star could be refreshing in this Brave New World.

    Ya’ll are acting like we had the world’s best roster this season and a bunch of changes weren’t needed anyways! 😂 Our OL was absolute big for nothing trash all season. I love Jalen but he isn’t a QB1 level quarterback for an Alabama level organization. He’d be a solid starter for a Wisconsin. Our receivers were the most inconsistent we’ve had in years. Nobody wants a rebuild but welcome to the portal era ya’ll. It ain’t going back to how it was any time soon. So ya’ll best get used to the rotating door. We have a solid HC and he’s bringing in a solid team under him. The rest will work itself out. ROLL TIDE 🤙🏼

    I heard a great question today. Curious. "Where is our leadership?? If Milroe is the leader everyone claims he is, he would've somewhat kept some guys here. Especially offensive guys." Made me think. Could have absolutely nothing to do with it but I thought it was interesting.
    I just would like some players who care about the university. I get all the other stuff.
    What bothers me, is everything is pointing to this continuing with the portal and NIL. Its just hard to be loyal to a team when the bulk of the players arent loyal to the team.
    Think Im gonna just watch basketball and not think much about football til spring. Then we will know who actually will be on the team.
    And we will be fine. First year or two might dip a little but we will still be playoff contenders every year. Thank God next year starts 12 teams.

    Gator fan here. This has been fascinating to watch but to be honest they didn’t lose some crazy amount. It’s been 30 about guys and half left before Saban retired. I think the way to fix things is to have you can’t transfer unless it’s a family matter or something of that nature until after your sophomore year and caps on what these kids can make so all top tier school are capped at a certain number. But you guys are fine, maybe don’t have a few great players but deboer is an insane coach that I hoped Florida was gonna get lol
