Nick Saban responded to Greg McElroy’s concerns about Alabama
podcast that “this is the first time that I have ever actually been concerned about the future of the program.” While he said he’s “never gone as far to say that Nick Saban should leave, or ‘This coach should be fired,’ and ‘This guy is terrible and needs to be benched,’”“Here’s the problem right now—there are a lot of guys on that roster, and a lot of coaches frankly on that staff, that didn’t really have anything to do with the foundation of the program being created,” McElroy said.
McElroy played for Alabama from 2007 to ’10 and saw the culture shift that came after Saban was hired in ’07. The former quarterback discussed on the podcast how the legendary coach has “preached discipline, effort, toughness, pride” as he led the program to six national titles. “This is not gonna be Alabama’s year,” McElroy said on the podcast. “Not all seasons are defined by success or failure as to winning the championship or not. I don’t think that’s fair, for anyone. I do not think the Alabama run is over. I don’t. But I do feel like the program is on more shaky footing than it’s been on in quite some time.”
