🏈 Maisel: Dynasties don't come with expiration dates

[Sgt. Lincoln Osiris]

Nice read...

Dynasties do not come with expiration dates. The end is always apparent in retrospect, once the college football historians perform their autopsies. But in the moment, when the team appears as if it will be good forever, it can be difficult to detect the malady that will bring its life on top to a close.

So how will we know when Alabama has peaked?

Thanks for the link, and it was not only a good read, it was a great read too.

An interesting article. In the case of an athlete dominant in his sport, time and gravity eventually take their toll.

In the case of a team dynasty, especially ours, the energy behind the dynasty is the drive to succeed by doing things the right way, whether it be recruiting, conditioning, practice or whatever. At some point that drive will begin to lessen. Signs of it will be subtle. Perhaps the 4th quarter program will be less demanding. Perhaps the off season programs won't be as rigorous. Maybe off the field or in the classroom issues will be overlooked. As in the case of Bowden, you don't realize how far things have slipped until you compare it with several years back.

Thanks. 2 of the dynasties mentioned included Bear Bryant trained coaches. As long as Saban keeps promoting coaches this keeps new coaches wanting to work for him. For Pruitt to come back says a lot about him.
