Just saw ESPN's top coaches rankng and I already know where our guy landed. Probably behind Kirby Smart again, maybe behind some flavor-of-the-month coach who won 9 games with somebody else's recruits. You know what I remember? When Bear Bryant was the standard and nobody even bothered making these lists because it was obvious who the best coach in the country was every single year from 1971 to 1982. Now we got reporters arguing over who they'd "want to lead their team" like it's a fantasy draft. NIL has turned coaching into a rental car business. You spend two years developing a kid and he leaves for an extra 50 grand somewhere else. The portal killed continuity and these rankings are a joke because nobody stays anywhere long enough to build what Coach Bryant built. We used to have a pipeline. Now we have a revolving door. I miss the days when a coach's legacy meant something more than how many five-stars he could buy in December.
