Obviously a top program historically, No doubting that.
But they don't have a god given birthright to winning big. As shown by these coaches between Bryant and Saban:
Ray Perkins - 32-15
Bill Curry - 26-10
Gene Stallings - 62-25
Mike Dubose - 24-23
Fran - 17-8
Mike Price - "It's Rolling Baby!"
Mike Shula - 10-23
Even a Stallings level of success would lead to loud calls for firing. Why would you leave Oregon or Texas for that potential misery? I doubt Bama can really pay as much as places like Oregon or Texas.
