Link: Forbes: Nick Saban's Football Dynasty Is Still Alive And Well

[Boo Radley]

. . . I would humbly suggest that Alabama fans need not panic just yet. The Crimson Tide football program is still in excellent shape and may get even better in the coming years. Nick Saban, the highest-paid and most powerful college football coach in the nation, has won three of the last four national championships and is inarguably the best coach in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) era. There is ample reason to believe that he won’t stop there. Some evidence:

Great article - thanks for linking it!

I read it earlier and enjoyed it. We've had entirely too many Chicken Littles running around since the game...

Including some I never expected to see it from.

Really.

We need a new offense...
We can't stop HUNH...we need a new defense...
We need new OC...
Awburn is going to start dominating...
aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

You would think we had a losing season.

 

[Capstone46]

Bingo! Even greater things ahead for Alabama football...

A grad from a religious school in Vermont with a better appreciation of Alabama's strengths than some of the fans. Very good article, the sky is not falling.

This year is far from the end.

In all honesty Coach Saban's program is about to take off to a scary, even loftier status. The players he now has in place combined with possibly his best recruiting class ever coming in is going to give us a talent base like we've never seen before. Maybe like no college team has ever had before. And it's just going to get better and better.

All doubters needed to see was picking up a top recruit out of LSU's backyard only 2 days after the IB loss. We will recover and be even stronger as a team going forward. Maybe with a little luck, we will get a rematch with the Boogs this bowl season...RTR!

You`re right. Good Lord ! We lose one ball game on a freak return with no time left after winning back-to-back national championships and three of the last four and some people are seriously questioning the direction of the program ??? It`s really hard to think of something to say about that kind of lunacy.

 

[Florida Tom]

We lose players we lose coaches but the program is Very strong.

You did not see the last NC last year. CNS best talent is that he learns form past mistakes.

I hate being the wait till next year crowd but really, we are gonna be just fine.

I hope we can keep Coach Nuss & Smart with all the opening coming.

no kidding, as if this one loss negates the entirety of his tenure here.

people need to get a grip.

 

[Chukker Veteran]

That should be mandatory reading for Bama fans. It's very encouraging. It's good to see this kind of well thought out, positive attitude towards Bama coming from a national publication...it helps to offset some of the really nasty articles directed at Bama by the Wall Street Journal.

 

[mittman]

No doubt that we will be in the conversation for the foreseeable future. No fan base can really ask for more. Winning it all is just icing on the cake.

I do think the incoming format will work in our favor.

 

[Bamafaninco1]

We need new OC...

You may be right about this one, not because the offense is bad, which it is not, but he may get the HC call from another school.

 

[GP for Bama]

Nice article.....and I believe it to be the truth. Bama is here to stay.

 

[davefrat]

btw, any word on how coach is doing? he looked like he was completely spent physically, mentally and emotionally in the press conference after the game. I was actually rather concerned for him.

 

[CHATTBRIT]

I couldn't swallow some of the drivel that followed the game Saturday and had to quit reading it. If I don't falter with my support during Perkins, DuBose, Price, and Shula, I'm certainly not going quit supporting Alabama, Coach Saban, his staff, support folks, and players. We've got wonderful players with a boatload of new recruits committed. It is a young team which will only get better.

Chicken Little has no place in Tuscaloosa. Roll Tide Roll

For some perspective, I was a student at UA from the 73-79 seasons (two degrees, not just being slow!). Many call that one of the great eras of Alabama football under Coach Bryant and I agree. But what was our record during those years? 11-1, 11-1, 11-1, 9-3, 11-1, 11-1, 12-0 for a total of 76-8 with national chamnpionships. We had one-loss seasons in 74, 75 and 77 without winning the national title. It's just hard to do guys, our AU would have more of them than they do! (By the way, beginning with 2008, we're 72-8, not that different.)
