Players at USC hated him, as shown by their performance before and after is firing. Bama has had the #1 recruiting class the last four or five years, they didn't need help there, or on offense for that matter. They needed a left tackle, left guard and pass rusher. They didn't need to change the offense or defense, just plug some holes.
QB is not an issue either. AJ wasn't the best in the country as someone posted earlier. But he was exactly what Saban wants in a QB. Game manager, few pics, don't lose the game for us and let the running game beat people. The next QB is an unknown. AJ came in not as an unknown, but a slightly loose cannon. He left as one of the greatest, if not the greatest QB in Bama history.
I love Saban, but this looks like he's in a panic and over reacting to a rare loss or two. Not a good hire in my humble opinion. I remember when Tubs started doing stupid chit after the Saban hire. This looks very similar that that situation.
War Eagle! and Roll Tide.
