re: It’s been a good run

Just a counter point to everything being said in this thread: Look around and we are still the most consistently dominant program in the country.

Maybe things are just more difficult than they used to be, and with football turning more into 7-on-7, parity has increased across the board. There are lots of good QBs and lots of good WRs out there.

Remember back when everyone thought Dabo was the new Saban? Well he hasn't looked so hot without a superstar QB.

Kirby had a good year last year, but we shredded him last year in the SECCG, and he's still only got one natty and one SEC title, and there's a great chance he doesn't win the East this year.

What gets lost in all the playoff hype is the fact that we've won the SEC Championship 3 out of the last 4 years, which is a big deal considering this is the toughest conference by far.

I still wouldn't trade Saban for anyone at this moment
