If you think that all Alabama fans think that, you'd be wrong. I've seen quite a few say they think this is Saban's worst team since 2009. I can't argue with that. They have the ability to be better than they are, but they don't play like it. No consistency.
Take Cooper away? Take Dobbs away and the vols lose out with Peterman. Winston gone and FSU loses probably four. Sims gone at Bama and they lose three to four. Oregon loses Mariota and they're middle of the pack. I could keep going but I think you get my point.
