It is painful to say this, but...
We had a lot of fun at BamaFan expense over their expectations vis a vis Saban. For the most part, they were right and we were wrong.
But being right then is going to make them extremely overconfident when it does come time to replace St Nick. That applies from drunk, 120 lb Imma Kill You! guy all the way to the boosters and the AD who will be making the decision.
Yeah they were right last time; that doesn’t mean they were being reasonable. Being vindicated while being unreasonable has a long history of ending very, very badly, long term. This will have been a long time coming, but it will be glorious.
