Not sorry for Bama fans.
It's not everyone else's fault you got accustomed to having a perpetual 'most talented' roster of all time. 
Tough shit.
Ed Zachery

when Saban was out cheated by Ole Miss in 2019 things started to bother him
then Texas A&M, then Georgia
now NIL and the Portal

St. Nick wants to go out the Saint and things are slippin away

tougher the be the best coach when you don't have the best talent every season
time to retire

You don't have to replace the GOAT with the next GOAT, just someone great.
At the bluebloods, including Alabama, history shows us you're far more likely to follow a "great" with a dud.  There are a lot of reasons for that, but simply the pressure of following a great at a high profile school with absurdly high expectations has something to do with.  Guys who are "great" elsewhere get crushed under all of that.

exactly this. 

expectations at Bama have always been high bc of the standard Bear Bryant set, and now they are higher than ever before because of the standard Nick Saban has set.

DeBoer better win FAST or he'll be out FAST. And the SEC is only getting tougher with Oklahoma and Texas joining. Kirby ain't going anywhere and UGA will continue to be a beast. Brian Kelly has fielded some gnarly offenses at LSU and if they can just get a defense they'll be a problem. Joey Freshwater has Ole Miss playing some real life 'ball. Florida is always only a coach away from being "back". A&M finally dumped that loser Jimbo and have resources ($$$$$$$) up the ass to buy players and get good in a hurry. Murders row in the SEC. And the gumps in Bama have zero patience. DeBoer will need to win almost immediately and will be given zero time to build a program. Which might be hard for him to to do seeing as how he's bleeding players to the NFL draft and portal right now.

Apparently what we just learned is that in the transfer portal era, you *DO* have to replace the GOAT with the next GOAT. Previously, all you had to do is be good enough not to throw it in a dumpster and light it on fire and you'd at least get 4-5 years.

Because in a rational world, the next coach would have inherited Saban's roster of studs. He'd have a 2-3 year talent advantage over all but 5-6 other programs in the CFB world and it would come down to whether he had enough success to recruit well enough to keep it going. Instead, DeBoer is going to have to do a full rebuild of a program that made it into the 4-team CFP in 8 of the last 10 years.

Now, I'm certainly not shedding any tears for the poor Tide. I've disliked the lack of parity in this sport since the moment I started following it--as a fan of a school that's merely a P# conference hanger-on. But it's worth pointing out what a seismic shift this has made compared to the pre-portal era.

On Iowa:  so the only penalty for nepotism is merely the embarrassment of it going awry?  

Hmmph.
