In all sports, one theme remains the same: Offense wins games, but defense wins championships.
Out of all the conferences in college football, only one has held true to this demeanor that being the Southeastern Conference and the team in particular, the Alabama Crimson Tide. For the real, die-hard Tide fans, they have experienced the best of both worlds.
From the years of domination under coaches Paul āBearā Bryant and Gene Stallings, to the years of struggle and probation under coaches Mike Price, Mike DuBose, Dennis Franchione and Mike Shula and now back to dominance with head coach Nick Saban, Alabama fans have always found a way to stand beside the Tide through thick and thin.
In his years with LSU and his one-year stint with the Miami Dolphins, Nick Saban has always been an intense, defensive-minded coach. Since his arrival in Tuscaloosa in 2007, Saban has changed how defense is supposed to look and be played in the SEC. Every day on ESPN there is a show called āThe Numbers Donāt Lie,ā and if one were to judge the Alabama defense for the past four seasons (since 2009), the numbers would tell them why the Crimson Tide defense was so dominate.
From 2009 to 2012, Alabama has been ranked in the top five in the SEC and the nation defensively. Coach Saban, defensive coordinator Kirby Smart and the Crimson Tide staff take pride in recruiting the strongest, fastest and most importantly fundamentally sound players to run each position. If you donāt want to take my word for it, here are the numbers defensively for Alabama from 2009 to 2012.
