Why Alabama's loss to Ole Miss could be the beginning of the end of the Tide dynasty
Yahoo ^ | September 19, 2015 | Pat Forde

What it looks like when a dynasty wobbles: thousands of Alabama fans hitting the exits like Derrick Henry hitting a hole. With 10 minutes left in the game, their team down 20. When the going got tough, the Bryant-Denny Stadium crowd got out.

What it sounds like when a power program loses its grip: the sliver of visiting Mississippi fans cheering last and loudest, celebrating their first win here since 1988 and their first back-to-back victories over the Crimson Tide ever.

What it feels like when the foundation cracks: denial is in the air. “They didn’t beat us,” Alabama cornerback Cyrus Jones said. “We beat ourselves.”

Nice double payback for Kiffin!

He is the problem Kiffin has messed up 3 or4 programs.

BUT that is all good for me... GO DAWGS!

not a Bama fan but they started the wrong quarterback last night....

expect for his brief stint under Pete Carroll and USC, Lane Kiffin has been a disaster everywhere he’s gone...

“Does Ole Miss have any trees for disgruntled Alabama fans to go poison?”

They have a whole “Grove” but it best they be left alone.

“As such, we may not even see an SEC team in the four team playoffs”.

And that is a bad thing?

Ole’Miss is finally getting over the Kiffin sidekick, Ed Oegeron. Tennessee is starting to get rid of the bad odor that Kiffin left in Knoxville. I was happy to say the least that Sabin hired Kiffin. I knew it would be a move he'd regret.

Well, it may be bad for ESPN. But it would be great for the rest of college football because we don't have to deal with one conference dominating all of college football like it was since circa 2002 with the SEC.

I regretted it the day I found out they did. As a true fan, I can live with the dynasty coming to an end if it does. I’ll always be a Bama fan now matter how well or how bad they play and no matter who the coach is. I mean come on, Saban or anyone else for that matter cannot be a coach anywhere forever. But Alabama did beat themselves last night. 5 turnovers kills you. The fact that they were able to come back as well as they did shows me they’re not done yet.

But Kiffin is a disaster in my opinion.

Not going to win a lot of games being -5 in turnovers. Yet Bama was still within 1 score of winning. I wouldn’t write them off just yet.

LSU may be the team to beat. Fournette may be the best back the SEC has seen since Herschel.
