I tell my son all the time, back when Coach Stallings was here you did not see players jumping ship the moment things got hard. Now we got guys entering the portal because they did not get enough targets in spring practice. The loyalty is gone. I watched the 1994 team grind through a tough season and not one of them quit. They fought for each other. Now every time a freshman does not start by week two he is gone to some program offering a bag of cash. That is not how you build a team. That is not how you win championships. You build through the weight room and through the summer workouts when nobody is watching. These kids want the glory without the work and the portal lets them run away from every challenge. Alabama has always been about something bigger than yourself. That culture is getting harder to hold onto when everybody has one foot out the door.
