FOX Sports analyst Joel Klatt is now the latest member of the media to proclaim the death of the Alabama dynasty. After the big loss to Ole Miss, Crimson Tide fans aren't even really excited about the rest of the season because they are just that used to winning.
However, Klatt says the dynasty is over because of head coach Nick Saban of all people. This is the same guy who has won three national championships at the school —- 2009, 2011, and 2012 in case you forgot —- and has made Bama one of the most consistent defensive teams in the country. This is how he describes the situation:
"They have a Nick Saban problem at Alabama," Klatt said. "He's turned Alabama into an old Big Ten defense. It's a big, slow lumbering ... they've got some serious problems there. There are better programs out there right now than Alabama."
And he doesn't think Lane Kiffin is a good fit at offensive coordinator, but that's not really his fault.
"He's all about the stat sheet," Klatt said. "He doesn't care to grind out the clock. He's a vanity play-caller. It doesn't fit well with Nick Saban, but it's not Lane Kiffin's fault."
We also touched on the topic in this week's podcast if you want to hear even more about it.
