i'd like to know if it's because of the loss or because of something else that may be going on.
Alabama has lost, before. hell, Bama lost the national championship game 2 years ago to the same team (well, not SAME...but you know what i mean). so, for me, it's difficult to tell if it's because of this one loss or because of something else.
we've all heard stories about how Coach Saban is a pain to work/play for and how he expects close to perfection from his staff and players. so i wonder if it was the assistant coaches saying "enough of this, i'm going somewhere else where the stakes and pressure are not as high"; or if Coach Saban himself is just letting them leave without a fuss so he can get the type of assistants he really wants.
