IMHO the lack of discipline and preparedness level are symptoms of something other than Saban's fire. It is not a new issue for Bama either. Take last year for example with the penalties and WTF moments. Winning is a great deodorant that covers flaws. So is QB talent. Saban can and has taken QBs with much less talent than Bryce and won natties with them. Serious but rhetorical question is what are the differences between Bryce Young and AJ McCarron, Greg McElroy, and/or Coker? Bryce was the most talented by far but was lacking because he walked in the door as a starter. Leadership, true leadership, is a series of actions not positions. Bryce did not have the leadership abilities developed at Alabama and therefore was more of a boss in title than a leader. Now you have first year transfers starting all over the field where leaders are needed. And this is not a shot at Bryce. I am just saying that it used to be that when someone entered a game under Saban, even second team rotations, all they knew was Saban's way, discipline, and ability to follow. In short, they knew how to lead.
