Wow, its pretty amazing to see how much talent bama is losing. This is an interesting article discussing the portal.

I like the two points it makes:
While it hurt to lose a lot of talent in the portal, we clearly took advantage of it to fill the gaps to supplement the talent that stuck around. Such an interesting time in CFB. If you're coach is going to leave/get fired, hope it happens early so you're best prepared to take advantage of the portal.

I like the two points it makes:
- There are no destination jobs.
- Your program is only as good as your most recent head coach hire.
