Maybe it is, just not in the way you're thinking. Many have prognosticated that NIL would cause this very problem, and let's face it there are none more talented than Alabama right now.

Teams aren’t scared of Bama any more. The bully is being bullied now. And yes, I‘m loving it!

Saban looks TARD. Golf clubs and Lake Burton are calling his name!

I know we aren't scared of them or any other team for that matter. The Dawgs believe they will win every game and they go and do it. Success breeds success.

The only fact to face is that Alabama (and no one else for that matter) can be a National Champion every single year. It's just too hard to put all the pieces of a contender together every year when you're constantly rotating talent in and out. Saban just happens to be amongst the best to do it. Kirby has learned and is getting good at it too.
If Alabama fans are saying something's off, then they're getting as bad as Georgia fans at having unrealistic expectations. Success follow success but you've got to be realistic.
UNDERESTIMATE JUST ABOUT ANY SEC TEAM AT YOUR PERIL, ESPECIALLY ALABAMA!!!
It's not the talent on the field that is the issue. It's all the coaches that have worked for Saban and learned the process and recruited away by other schools. It's hard to stay at the top when you're constantly looking for a new quality OC or DC and meanwhile you're playing against the coaches you taught.
Saban's success not just as a coach but a mentor is his downfall. Look at all the head coaches he has produced over the years. Sooner or later the students best the teacher and that's where he is now in his career.

Yes! Saban's success as the AAA league for future coaches is definitely an issue, but he just happens to be good at that too!
I wonder how long it will be before Kirby starts having the same problem year after year?

Nope.
Wouldn't hurt my feelings to see Golding and O'brien gone though.
This season reminds me a lot of 2010. That year we had an insane amount of talent return( Julio Jones, Mark Ingram, etc) after a BCSNC yet they lost 3 games.
I don't believe this years players are as talented or haven't been coached up to potentials as projected. Our pass rush has been non-existent for the most part, our pass defense is atrocious( see Tennessee game), and lack of focus and stupid penalties kept opponents in contention till the final seconds.
It's just a very un-Bama-like year.
I guess the moral victory is we don't have to look forward to getting curb stomped by the Dawgs in the SECCG.

Yep, probably the first of many over the next 20 years.

@The Original Rooster Bama fans are kind of entitled in a way to think they could win a Natty every year. Because that’s what Sabans done during the dynasty. So yeah until now why wouldn’t they think that way? They’ve been doing it. Go Dawgs!

Yep, and entitlement breeds laziness and even with outstanding talent, laziness breeds mediocrity. It's an easy trap to fall into.
2021=rebuilding , 2022= un- Bama like , I see a pattern !

Fire Harsin! Oh wait…
You and I think much alike. The GOAT and 5 stars stacked deep, a Heisman QB tossing 20 balls into the ground? Those boys need to go, they can’t build anything or motivate. Saban’s mantra has been to dominate not squeak by, time for big change.
