Tony’s take: Alabama appears done wasting money on mediocrity

Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Kalen Deboer talks on the sideline Thursday, Jan. 1, 2026, during the Rose Bowl and quarterfinal game of the College Football Playoff against Indiana Hoosiers at Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, Calif.

It’s too early to tell how Alabama will fare in the transfer portal. At the moment, I’m cautiously optimistic about the Crimson Tide’s approach. 

It can’t be fun for Tide fans to watch as player after player enters the portal. But look closely, what all is Alabama really losing?

Qua Russaw and his two sacks over 21 career games?
