Over the last decade, we’ve seen both college and professional football place a huge emphasis on the offensive side of the ball, especially the offensive side of the ball. Alabama Crimson Tide. Whether it’s the way the rules are governed and enforced, or whether it’s just the ingenuity of specific coaches, offenses have become the focal point of the sport.
What did you do Nick Saban as successful as the head coach of Crimson Tide it was its ability to change with the times. When Alabama’s dynasty began, it was built on mental toughness, defense and being the grittier team. Saban was the head coach for 17 years and during that time a lot changed, but as things changed and his career progressed, his ability to prioritize offensive success over maintaining his defensive style was what continued to set him apart. .
By the time Saban retired at Alabama in January, the Crimson Tide had become the standard for how you play offense in modern college football. Over the past five seasons, no other school has averaged more PPG than the Crimson Tide at 42.1 PPG.
So the five-year timeline essentially covers the 2019 to 2023 season. Tua Tagovailoa was Alabama’s QB in 2019, Mac Jones in 2020, Bryce Young in 2021 and 2022, and Jalen Milroe in 2023, so there’s definitely no question which was the biggest driving force behind the success.
Now, with Saban gone, it will be exciting to see if Alabama can continue to be the standard offensively with Kalen Deboer coming to town, and my instinct is yes.
