I also heard that...from here but also other places. We had such talented WR's and JH could not find them...he would look, then pull it down and run to the right. I don't see this as selfishness as much as reality...too much talent to ignore the obvious deficiency at QB.
There had been a lot of internal conflict that is really just now reaching the surface
For one thing the coaching staff was more concerned about personal glory than winning a championship. Especially on the offense. Locks, Enos, and Gattis were never Alabama first guys.
Surprised to hear this about Locksley. At least publicly, he has been very respectful towards Saban and Alabama. Even though the offense underperformed (in terms of points not yards) in the Clemson game, Locksley reportedly and supposedly had dedicated himself to his OC duties rather than his new job at Maryland. He was also credited with helping soothe the feelings of the WR room over the Hurts/Tua situation. I felt he was somewhat limited (overly dependent on RPOs) as an OC but that he did his best and have considered his departure one of the more honorable ones. But I have no inside info, my view being formed only from public articles, opinions of other msg board posters, etc.
A lot of sports reporters were saying the dynasty was dead after the ole Miss game
He talks out of both sides of his mouth about Saban and Alabama. One minute he loves them, the next he is saying something negative.
You are correct, of course, but we also have to think that those people are saying those things because it is based on what they have seen before when programs start to slip. It is another tribute to Coach Saban because he has faced a lot of different issues during his time and has still kept our program on top. It has been an amazing run, and I hope it continues for several more years.
That may be part of it but a lot of it is wishful thinking. Bama's success is a nightmare to many.
It's how he gets ratings. Create tension with everyone in your audience and they'll tune in just to argue with him by themselves in the car while riding down the road, ha! Then come to places like here and post about him. His method works for his business. I don't mind him and find him entertaining.

This method seems to have worked quite well for Finebaum, too,
This formula has worked quite well for Finebaum over the years, too.
Trolling Bama fans is a lazy way for talking heads/columnists to get some quick buzz/attention/clicks/ratings. Although it does seem to be getting way past the point of diminishing returns. Danny Kanell is harder to find these days than Carmen Sandiego.....
Kannell was just trying to be the contrarian that Finebaum and Bayless are. The problem is that he went way too hard and didn’t allow it to seem like he truly believes what he says.
