That kind of money spent at Bama would be fielding an NFL team. It's apples and oranges. He would have Bama or LSU in the playoffs every year. OM is comparable to State. Not to Bama or LSU. Come on man!!!
But to your point. Kiffin is a VERY AVERAGE coach. He's an incredible recruiter and works the Portland social media like no other. He's the sole reason bama lost to freeze in 2014. He absolutely sucks at calling a game.

I wanted Lane (as much as he ****ed bammer out of our 874th NC), more than anyone...
Obviously, the Bammer Dynasty is dead (for the 11th time since '09)...\

I think he is the best play-scripter for the first two drives in college football. If they dont have 14 points with a TOP of 3 minutes after their first 2 drives, they are in a dogfight the rest of the game against average teams.

You nailed it. And as OC at Bama, he had a running back gashing the defense for 5-7 yards a pop. So he decided to throw 3 passes and punt. He kept teams in the game while he was at Bama.

You can deny it all you want but the dynasty is most certainly dead. Hell, you're 5-5 in your last 10 games.

I don’t think they’re even can afford to, but they could lose 4 pretty easily. Might be 2-2 in week 4

Yep they done. Even Saban so it coming and why he got out before they tore down his statue. They are soft as charmin. Wish we played them this year.

It wouldn't surprise me. I think they will fire him if you pressed me for a yes or no answer. They'll figure the buyout later. They have some pretty wealthy boosters that can make things happen.

I think it's funny that you have Paul Finebaum basically begging Saban to come back to Bama on ESPN.
I think if he did it wouldn't turn out as well as they hoped. I think they would be a 9-3 or 10-2 type team. Good luck convincing recruits that an 80 year old dude is going to be around for five years. Oh and he is going to ride your ass until you get in the portal so what's the point of going there anyway?

Yep, Saban saw it coming. With NIL for all and especially the portal, bama can no longer buy 4 and 5 stars under the table and make them sit 3 to 5 years waiting for their time to start or get significant minutes behind the other 4/5 star players. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch and their thousands of sidewalk fans in the MS counties bordering Alabama. Walmart will have to send a lot of unsold bama gear to third world countries as a charitable tax write-off after this season.
