I don't know if you guys feel the same, but we've been so dominant and explosive on offense since Kiffin became OC, that much of every game ever since has been boring to watch, frankly. When you add it up, very few quarters of each season have ever been competitive and suspenseful. And there's been a general fatigue from being the overwhelming favorite ALL THE TIME. I think it's good to be on the other side for a change. I think the stadium will be more lively and player enthusiasm will improve too. I've been watching old games from the "more physical" era, and I've been struck by how energized the team seemed to be on defense and on the sidelines. We've lost that chip on our shoulders. Some have blamed the departure of Kirby's fiery mannerism or Scott Cochoron's antics. I have no idea, but the difference is noticeable.
On the other hand, because we've never seen a dynasty as enduring and deep as Saban's at Bama, I honestly believe it can accommodate a temporary rise and fall of another program, like Georgia for example, before returning for another championship or two before Saban finally exits.
