Alabama football fans have long memories – filled with joy and despair. Memories of championships won and almost won linger the longest. The 2008-2017 Saban, ten-year run is no doubt the greatest in Alabama football history. Five national championships in nine seasons is an unparalleled achievement. Alabama football fans firmly believe it is the Greatest CFB Dynasty in the history of the game.
Some of us have been blessed to live through other Alabama football dynastic eras. The memories are still strong and the history is worth recounting. Crimson Tide fans born after the mid-1970’s may know the history but they did not get to experience how great was Bryant’s 1971-1980 run.
