Nick Saban doesn't want to engage any discussion about the end of Bama's dynasty.
, saying"What this game revealed about Alabama is shockingly simple: Right now, the Crimson Tide isn't very good on offense or defense. Other than that, things are just great." Commentators nationwide joined in, questioning whether Alabama's reign of dominance was over."We didn't play good," Saban said during his Wednesday evening press conference."I'm responsible for us not playing well.
Saban's long run of success makes it easy to forget the state the program was in when he took over. Before the first of his six national titles with the Crimson Tide in 2009, their last championship came in 1992 under head coach Gene Stallings. One of the reasons why Alabama and Saban have worked is because Saban's standards for himself are as high as the maniacal expectations from the fanbase.
It takes a unique person to handle the pressure of coaching at Alabama. The school places a plaque outside the stadium to commemorate every national title and there is a statue for each of the five championship-winning head coaches. For decades, it appeared impossible that any coach would match Bear Bryant's six plaques on the school's Walk of Champions.
