15 Consecutive 10 Win Seasons

[bamamc1]

I know we all in some way are a little disappointed in this season. However, if we take a second to ponder on the title of this thread, it may make us appreciate what has been accomplished.
To be honest, many here, including myself, never thought Coach would stay 16 seasons. We’ve been spoiled so much and someday will look back at this era and will be amazed.
I trust Coach and am sure he’ll make whatever changes he deems necessary to sustain this program.
RTR my friends.

I never thought anyone would touch the FSU streak, and Saban surpassed it. Add the streak of seasons ranked #1 - the greatest dynasty in the history of the game. It has been amazing to witness

Yeah it’s been quite a run. I worry we are beginning to see a slip in the direction of the program. Alabama fans are between a rock and a hard place. We complain about two losses and the rest of college football says look at those spoiled, ungrateful fans. Yet it’s Bama’s drive and commitment that places us where the rest of them can only dream of. They would love for us to get complacent. Coach Saban looks tired to me. I hope I’m wrong and he renews himself some way, some how. If not we will continue the slide back to the pack. We are grateful though, who wouldn’t be.

I dont think something like this will cause Saban to slow down..............the man is driven to succeed, and I would not be surprised to see him redouble his efforts

A win in the post season (wherever) and it will be twelve straight 11+ win seasons.

 

[Tideflyer]

I could be wrong, but I don`t think Coach Bryant had 11 straight 10 win seasons.

 

[Crimson Steel]

Yes, he did look a little tired. I attribute that to players who are lacking in discipline and have bad attitudes resulting in dumb penalties and lowering team morale plus the headaches from NIL and transfers. I know it's not just here, it's everywhere and it's starting to ruin it all for me.

Disagree wholeheartedly with that load of bollocks. At 71, Coach is in better shape than I at 15 years his junior. Tired? Dude was pretty animated on the sidelines I thought. From Coach himself after the game:

"But people who are negative and naysayers, if they support the University of Alabama, you are hurting the university, you are hurting the program. Because, it’s a reflection on our culture and how positive we are. This program was built on positive. It was built on 95,000 people coming to the spring game when we came here the first spring we were here."

It was harder to do in his era. The first 13 years of his 25 year tenure we had ten game schedules and just eleven the rest of his career. Plus no conference championship games.

RIP Coach Bryant. Nothing but Class.

I sure hope so! Saban's a tough guy.

That`s quite true, I thought about that after I posted. If he`d had as many games, who knows?

We won nine games in 1976 and 1981. An extra win in those seasons gives him an eleven year run 1971-81. Also had a tie in 1981 which can't happen today.

He also probably has a longer run at the end if he'd laid off the booze and unfiltered cigarettes but that's another story.

Amazing stat, I am enjoying the ride hope it never ends.

1976 was a year that injuries derailed. They pummeled UCLA in the bowl game. It was a similar year to 2010, in which I maintain we were derailed by injuries, not an NC hangover. We got healthy for the bowl game and destroyed Michigan State.
