I said a decade ago that any college coach who turned down NFL options was an idiot.  And that was before NIL and the portal.  Now, you would have to be totally brain dead.  Supporting a college team is on par with supporting a highschool team.  It actually might be worse

Everyone knows you can't replace a legend.  The next coach at Alabama is pretty much doomed.

Yep. Money has been destroying relatable players for a while now. Nowadays, an average athlete will make $ in a year that most take a lifetime to make.
Recruiting duties have always somewhat favored coaching in the NFL over CFB as an a additional irksome task. Now with the portal and NIL the absolute ass kissing & hiney shining has to be revolting to contemplate and practice.This bag of snakes belongs in Roger Goodells lap and shouldn't rest with the Universities - the League benefits from it

Saban retires with the same career win% as Nebraska's Bob Devaney......but with twice the volume and 3x the NCs.

...and both coached at Michigan State, though Bob was an Asst. Coach.

A friend sent forwarded me a tweet from someone that showed Saban had more first round draft picks at Bama than losses.  I mean, that’s dumb.

Yep. Money has been destroying relatable players for a while now. Growing up there were two Browns players that lived in the condo complex in Brook Park that my cousin lived in. Great guys. One had a warehouse job in the off-season. Was just like our family. Nowadays, an average athlete will make $ in a year that most take a lifetime to make.
If you don't like it...

Just as easy for you to ignore his comment also - one can enjoy football but not like what it's morphing in to. Last I checked this a comment section,with some lamenting if we all ignored each others bitching wouldn't be much of a website
