I've stayed up till the end just to watch Saban's Post game interview
He seemed very cordial in the handshake with Dabo. What can he say? He got jobbed. He got out coached and outplayed. He has to eat humble pie as far as I am concerned.I've stayed up till the end just to watch Saban's Post game interview
As Dino would put it, he'll never have to buy a beer in this town.I can’t believe Lawrence can’t buy beer.
No. They have 4 OL back. They are going to score a lot of points next year.Sounds like Clemson loses 4 OL and 4 DL.

The leaving after Junior year rule needs to go. A player should be allowed to go pro if they are ready what else does Lawrence really need to accomplish. Kids already a pro. I just feel it’s wrong for college football to benefit from these players while they get nothing really with the exception of a scholarship.
I think it’s for safety. 23-33 year old men vs. a 19 year old kid.
Love dabo. Hard not to like a coach like him. Easy to see why kids want to play for him and parents trust sending their kids to play for him. Also the amazing facilities and the crazy run of success helps a bit!
It’s the NFL’s choice, that quantifies it.You might be right however some of these teams have players that are NFL ready now so idk how you can quantify or rationalize the NFLs policy. The student athlete should be able to make his own choice
Agreed. An 18 year old should be able to decide if he wants to try to play football for a living, or go to college, or work at Starbucks. Personally, I think the NFL needs to step up and organize a developmental structure for kids who don’t want/need to go to college. Stop using the universities as minor league teams. Get back to student athletes, and start incentivizing education rather than the long shot of professional sports. Will that ever happen? Probably not. Too much money in the hands of people who don’t want that to happen. But it should.You might be right however some of these teams have players that are NFL ready now so idk how you can quantify or rationalize the NFLs policy.

I think the continuity of his staff also helps him and is a huge part of their success.
That's been huge for Dabo. Every dynasty ends when the coaching staff starts to get raided. Most recently USC with Carroll and Florida with Urban. Saban has been able to somehow maintain through all the turnover but last night it got them big time.
Saban promoted Tosh and Locks to coordinators last year to save recruiting because they both are monsters on the trail but everyone knew they werent as strong in X's and O's. Both got their @ss kicked last night. That was the difference.
I think Herbie said they've only had 3 coaches leave. That's amazing. Of course his DC makes $2 million a year to stay. But the position coaches, amazing really.
Is that true?It's crazy to think that when Bama was down 15 points last night, it was their biggest deficit of the entire Saban era. If we were down 15 points during any Greg Robinson-era game, I thought to myself, "OK, this isn't so bad, we're in it."
