Curt Cignetti and Dan Lanning were asked about all four HCs left in CFP having been at one point on Nick Saban's staff:
Cignetti: "I felt after one year with Coach Saban, I learned more about how to run a program than I maybe did the previous 27 as an assistant coach."
Lanning: "I was going to take a pay cut to go be a GA there. When anybody asked me why, I said I'm going to get my doctorate in football... Things I thought I knew, I realized I didn't really know anything."
No they’re not.
If you think you deserve to be in over the Sun Belt Champion, you’re always welcome to prove it by joining the Sun Belt.
If you think you deserve to be in over the Miami, you’re always welcome to prove it by joining the ACC.
If you think you deserve to be in over the American Champion, you’re always welcome to prove it by joining the American.
You’re not special. Join a conference.

*Except the teams it actually lost to and chickened out of playing.

But it’s national media figures who are pushing the hot seat narratives more than anyone from or associated with Bama
Im not doing the “is it the QB or is it the playcaller” shit again when the two years they had a decent playcaller the QB has been an MVP candidate and the Superbowl MVP
