How impressive is Alabama's continued dominance of college football?

[@canoemantoo1]

Coach is doing actually what he said he would do. There are no debates at Alabama, the best player wins the job. The second best, back's up the best player and, so forth and so on.

[@user-mc4nx6ky3o]

Yep. Everyone with a properly functioning brain knows this "QB situation" has nothing to do with football. It's all about politics.

[@cenaholic1522]

Saban has proved himself to be the GOAT. Took an Alabama program that was living off nostalgia and took it to the greatest college football dynasty of all time. Just ask Shannon Sharpe hahahahaha.

[@saintevil6084]

Douglas Harrison Bryant is the greatest all time

[@jasonkeith9317]

@@saintevil6084 Saban is gonna probably surpass The Bear if he can keep it rolling. Pun intended. It's gonna be close closer than people think. Absolute domination! It's Bama and everybody else!

[@saintevil6084]

Jason Keith I fully expect bama to keep rolling as well but Bryant is still the greatest all time I lived to witness both and it's still Bryant

[@thumbsaloft]

+Saint evil and Jason Keith, Nope, Saban has done in 9 years and in a much tougher time, what it took Bryant over 20 years to do! Absolutely no disrespect to the Bear, just stating the facts!

[@saintevil6084]

thumbsaloft that's not true it's so much easier today than Bryants era

[@gilmer3718]

This is the greatest dynasty ever in college football.

[@markpaul7887]

The national average for getting 5* talent coming out of high school into the first round of the NFL draft is 17%. Nick Saban? 48.3%! Development AND a GREAT EDUCATION!

Don't forget Cris sent his son to play at bama as receiver not too long ago

[@samo7639]

Silver Surfer is he any good?

[@blackeyejim]

Samuel Owusu Ansah He had potential, he was a top ranked WR coming out of high school but he had a lot of off the field and academic issues so he never developed.

[@thomarscarter]

Nick Saban is a bad man with Bama

[@jrr4755]

Thomars Carter he was a bad man in 1990 with Toledo lmao

[@willmoffatt5362]

Alabama has had the best run in the modern era of college football. It's not even close!

[@SS11660]

It's about the team!!!!

[@joelaton1062]

Who cares if Jalen is happy because Saban did not talk to him? Saban is supposed to have the best situation he can have for his team. Feelings are not part of that. If having a experienced back up stay is the end result, the Saban did the right thing.

[@davidlax5067]

[@TheJpep2424]

Bama's run blows Miami's away. UM was in no conference in the 80s, no conference championship game and no playoff.

[@RT22-pb2pp]

And never won 5 titles in that run either

[@bobmcadoo2769]

Nick wright the real G.O.A.T. 🙌

[@payri6223]

Lol

[@RT22-pb2pp]

No team and I mean no team has put together this kind of National Title run, not Miami nor FSU or ND or Michigan or USC. 5 titles in 9 yr run from 09 to 17 actual season yrs. Miami never won 5 no one has not in that time frame and only a few ever won 5 or more titles in their history, no one is close to this. And this is in a current age when parity is much better than decades ago.

[@detailsmove]

How I wish Saban stayed in Miami

[@johnnypruitt2305]

Nick says he doesn't like a dynasty in college foot,so you shouldn't try to win

[@rc4463]

Would you be shocked to admit that Jalen isn't pro QB material? No NFL team is going to draft him as a QB .. maybe he did do him a favor by helping him to realize that as an athlete he probably can be drafted in to the NFL but ... he (Jalen) might want to start thinking about developing that skill set in the new position so he can be...

[@noahsharbin]

Nothing new to see, here....

[@kermitalexander6655]

Ohio puts out the best coaches 😎😎

[@Andrew7244]

The domestic violence abusers...ahh, yes!

[@shooter4805]

Eventually they all get fired lol Osu is a Cesspool.

[@kermitalexander6655]

Bama4life you sound like a disgruntled UAB Blazer fan😁

[@enniswhalen2428]

MM - Great point! I used to be familiar with all of these "coaching trees" ( Nick Saban did coach at Toledo)since people used to talk about how men had progressed "upward" from coaching at Miami of Ohio and Kent State,and some others. I always believed it was just because there are so many colleges in Ohio.

[@kermitalexander6655]

Israel Kelley could you translate 😁

[@hiphopotamus69]

I still haven’t forgiven Georgia for choking in the title game

[@cenaholic1522]

If anything Bama almost choked it with the missed field goal. Bama outplayed them completely in the 2nd half.

[@nflprimehighlights1060]

They didn't choke Bama beat them.

[@thetruthandnothingbutthetr6484]

You better be glad Jalen played the first half

[@Vincente_Guerrero]

As long as we get rid of the cancer to our team "Jalen Hurts" we'll go on to win multiple championships

[@shooter4805]

Says the bandwagon

[@jasonkeith9317]

This is how Bama fans r believe me I know I lived there for 10 years it's championship or bust!!! Ruthless, arrogant entitled fan base Saban has them so spoiled rotten it is simply unbelievable !!! BTW I like Bama I'm just telling it like it is it's championship or bust down there!!! U lose one game ONE GAME and u gotta go!!! I can't tell u how many times I heard Saban's gotta go or Saban needs to tighten up or Saban needs to do better!!! No joke!!! I know what I'm talking about!

[@shooter4805]

@@jasonkeith9317 You know squat.

[@jasonkeith9317]

Y'all Bama fans need to lighten up what I said was true and don't tell me that I don't know about passion for collegiate sports I'm from Kentucky born and raised a fan of Kentucky basketball so yes I know all about passion. Kentucky basketball fans bleed blue it's almost like a religion a way of life. Kentucky basketball and Alabama football r two sides of the same coin. Kentucky basketball fans r also spoiled rotten entitled arrogant I get it so don't tell me I don't understand or that I don't know squat like I said I lived in Alabama for 10 years got to observe it firsthand the Alabama/Auburn rivalry is unbelievable one of the greatest rivalries I've ever seen ever but what I said was true and I guess sometimes the truth can hurt obviously by some of the comments my comment has received . We don't have any pro teams in Kentucky either the whole state revolves around Kentucky basketball. I'm glad I got turned on to college football never followed it much prior to moving to Alabama. U had to follow college football living in Alabama or u might as well have been from another planet since it's such a way of life down there but I totally got it being from Kentucky. Ur ball is oblong r ball is round. That's why Kentucky sucks at football u hand a young child from Kentucky a football and the first thing they try to do is dribble it. Ever tried dribbling a football? Doesn't work very well. Roll Tide War Eagle and GO CATS!!!

[@Sam-dn2ck]

@@jamestoney7571 defense won majority of those games..that 26 and 2 was on the defense not one win was on Jalen he was just a clog in Nick Sabans offense

[@tigerhoods7927]

It’s easy to dominate when your schedule is weak every year lol

[@Andrew7244]

Stupid statement...they go against NFL caliber players in the SEC and then in the playoff. I don't see people lining up to play Alabama. Only a few teams can stand toe to toe. Bama out executes people. Stupidest statement on this thread is what you said

[@BamaFanUSMC]

Why cant the good teams beat Bama? They have the opportunity every year in the playoffs. We dont lose to teams like Iowa or Syracuse. Bama is still the best team in the best conference. Btw, the SEC is big boy football. Not easy to play SEC teams every week...

[@blakeharris58]

Assuming the SEC is the best when it absolutely is not, is why people argue with this statement. Alabama has the weakest non-conference schedule every year. A cupcake game leading into Auburn so they can stay healthy. Smart, but slick.

[@will904420]

@@blakeharris58 you're an idiot.

[@TheMacC117]

Zero sense at all in that statement, Saban got most of his championships at Alabama during the height of the SEC's dominance. There was a point where their western division literally had #1, 2, and 3 ranked in the BCS. Guess who won the natty that year?

[@blakeharris58]

Saban runs the best strength and conditioning program in college football. Great recruiter. Ok coach. If you can stop the run and keep your safety deep, they can't score. Tiring out that defense is a different story.

[@joejenkins1827]

If it was that easy they wouldn't be winning almost every year

[@fcast22]

Dude OK coaches don't win 5 titles in 9 years!

[@TheMacC117]

Blake Harris I mean, if you want to say OK play caller, then I'll agree with you. But what 90% of America, including sports analysts, seem to forget is that the "strength and conditioning program" and "great recruiter" is all part of the Head Coach's job. All of it. A Head Coach is not just someone who calls plays on the field, you have to average all of that in. And when you do, Nick Saban is on top by a mile.

[@RonJohn63]

If I was the absolute dictator of the US, I'd ban college football from TV and limit the distance teams can travel to 200 miles. (Some teams out west might have to shut down their football teams, but that's the price to be paid for returning it to *college* athletics.)

[@Bacnow]

RonJohn63 -- TV contracts, travel etc... Benefit ALL Div. 1 Athletics and academics! That flow of income allows for (in the areas of academics and athletics) more scholarships, better facilities, better staff, and sustained growth! Without it, many of these campuses would have to charge outrageous tuitions and fees, which would cause the students to suffer! So...long-story-short...i would have to overthrow your regime on behalf of the America's youth!

[@RonJohn63]

Bacnow, they already charge outrageous tuitions and fees. Only the biggest football programs make a profit. Your average Div 1 school has to pump money into athletics.

[@plantationnews1962]

I find it interesting that people are impressed with Alabama's dominance with players that couldn't walk on campus because of their race decades ago.

[@TheMacC117]

Ed Davie What does that even mean? Are you insinuating that race issues were specific to Alabama?

[@rabbithunter35]

Like you mentioned decades ago. Get a grip ed davie. Are you mad at the dominance?

[@jimmiegray480]

Shut up

[@Nastyfinger1444]

Your comment is totally irrelevant. I do not like Alabama or Nick Saban, but the race thing has been over for quite some time.

[@plantationnews1962]

I'm mad at the fact that white people exist.
