Alabama Crimson Tide (official thread of Football, Fake Championships and Banjo)

There is undoubtedly a meltdown of epic proportions coming amongst that fanbase when saban retires and they experience the inevitable letdown that'll follow. I pity the coach who is willing to take over after saban is finished.
For some reason I find it hard to pity the unknown guy who will be getting around $10 million a year and should know exactly what he's getting into. But then again, maybe that's just me. I've always been kind of hard hearted.

Some of you might not remember (bc you're too young) or some of you might not have the exposure (because you live outside the region) - but the upcoming meltdown in Tuscaloosa is going to rival most anything you've seen. When Coach Saban hangs it up, it's going to be really something.

The most remarkable thing that CNS has done in his tenure is not done on the field or in recruiting. It's getting all those hundreds of rich blowhard donors and everyone in the AD to keep their mouth shut and do what he says. All boats rowing in the same direction. No questioning his hires or directives. And in return, you'll be rewarded with greatness never before accomplished.


Three layers under the surface there are hundreds of people dying to take credit and argue and offer "insight" and direction and advice and everything to climb to the top of notoriety. "This is my program!"
It's coming. But a wave of 9-3, 8-4 years will unleash the beast so to speak.
I long for another 10-year period of Bama’s performance under Mike DuBose, Dennis Franchione, Mike Price (though he never coached a game), Mike Shula and bowl-interim Joe Kines.

In the decade before Saban, Bama was a combined 67-55 (.549), which includes 16 wins vacated in 2005-06.

Is anyone seeing news, or breaking news, rumors or whatever, that Saban has told his team that this will be his last season at Bama? It was tweeted out but then quickly deleted. Not sure if that was a mistake or what exactly. Here is the tweet.

Video appears to show Alabama WR Jermaine Burton hitting fan

Alabama is investigating after a video on social media appeared to show wide receiver Jermaine Burton striking a female fan who rushed the field following Tennessee's 52-49 win over the Crimson Tide on Saturday at Neyland Stadium.

"We are aware of the situation with Jermaine Burton as he was exiting the field Saturday," Alabama coach Nick Saban said in a statement Wednesday. "We are currently working to gather more information."

Emily Isaacs posted the video on her TikTok account and commented: "Jermaine Burton smacking me in the head while walking past him after their loss Saturday," with a thumbs-up emoji and an #ouch hashtag.

Nick Saban on not sitting Jermaine Burton: 'Didn't think it was necessary'

Alabama coach Nick Saban said he had reason not to suspend receiver Jermaine Burton from Saturday's game against Mississippi State after video surfaced that appeared to show Burton strike a woman who stormed the field when Tennessee beat the Crimson Tide last week at Neyland Stadium.

But what that reason was, Saban would not say.

"I didn't think it was necessary to suspend the guy," Saban said. "If you knew the whole story, maybe you wouldn't either. But I'm not going to divulge that."

Burton had two catches for 40 yards as No. 6 Alabama beat No. 24 Mississippi State 30-6.

Afterward, Saban was asked what went into his decision to not sit the former Georgia transfer.

"Look," Saban told reporters. "I don't know how many of you have ever been in a situation like that. But I talked to [Burton]. He was scared. I was scared. Some of our other players were scared."

"I didn't think it was necessary to suspend the guy," Saban said. "If you knew the whole story, maybe you wouldn't either. But I'm not going to divulge that."

Just sayin':
