Watch me smile at this quote----- "The other thing Alabama fans need to reconcile is that Saban's system was starting to show cracks, too. Not just in schemes but in the way the program was run."
It is almost as though no one recognized Saban giving us a clear look at the future in Tampa in 2023. This "team" has been controlled by the big dogs in the locker room for that long. When they decided they were only going to play for #4 in the spring of 2023, the matter of a starting quarterback was settled. The limitations that created were too much for even Saban to overcome and were certainly too much for CKB to overcome. Now, the only possibility is to make the change that has been inevitable for almost two years, even if it destroys the locker room. Thankfully, enough has been revealed to make that less of a likely outcome but the possibility still exists.
