I think Coach DeBoer and Bama are going to surprise a lot of people this season. The Bama Offense should be off the charts. If the Defense can reload the DL and DBs they should be a new look dominating and aggressive defensive scheme.

Such a moronic take. 17-18 year old kids are not coming to Alabama for the 70+ year old man who now spends his days golfing and playing with his grandchildren. They are coming to play for the guy who had one of the best offenses in the country last year

[DavidBerga-zpol]

People act like Alabama was nothing before Saban. Ridiculous. He is not bigger than Alabama. He is close. RTR 💯

I like that fact as a bama fan that people are putting us somewhere in the mix at 3-5 in the SEC. Guess being the defending champ doesn’t mean much, yeah UGA is great (beat em) Texas is loaded (our coach beat em the last 2 years) Ole miss is considered a contender (beat em). Yes we have a new coach, that went further than our old coach did last year. The player in college football this year that finished the highest in the heisman vote last year is our QB1. But he’s the 3rd in the conf at best to some people. So this will be the biggest prove it year in Alabama in some time. I get the bama fatigue but this program will be in the playoffs basically every year. Sorry

[mccadesmith]

This man fully retired and we can’t stop talking about the GOAT

[davidhemphill]

This is what's wrong with college football now man it's all down to who's going to spend the most money while I have the best team and you can take that to the bank who wants to follow money I'd rather find follow a sport but now between the NFL and the college and everybody's getting paid money everybody but me and you and he said we're burning up our Saturdays and Sundays to watch freaking football it's already fixed

[bigmixx]

Alabama recruits itself. Yeah Saban took it to new heights but they have always recruited well. Those years between Gene Stallings and before Saban got there they were not that great and still had top classes.

[Marktastik]

Take a look at how mad sark is. It's like he nos Alabama wil dominate Texas in the years to come.
Roll tide!

[joeyphillips]
