Saban on Finebaum talking about walking out at that Morgan Wallen concert and I cannot help but think about how far we have drifted from what this program used to stand for. Coach Bryant used to say the discipline started in January and carried through every single day until the bowl game. Now we are celebrating spring portal hauls and watching our guys get drafted while the whole foundation shifts underneath us.
The portal offensive line we are piecing together might work on paper but I remember the 1992 group that protected Jay Barker. Those guys sat in the system for three years before they started. They knew the calls without thinking. You cannot buy chemistry in the spring portal window no matter how many names you bring in. That is what Saban is hinting at when he talks about what he would change.
