During his 17-season stint in Tuscaloosa, Nick Saban helped build the Crimson Tide into one of the most feared college football programs in the SEC. They won six national championships and solidified themselves as a genuine threat under Saban.

After Saban retired in 2024, Kalen DeBoer was brought in as his replacement. In his debut season last year, DeBoer had a 9-4 record. The Crimson Tide failed to compete for the SEC title and did not qualify for the 12-team playoffs. They also lost the ReliaQuest Bowl game to the Michigan Wolverines.

"The one thing that I will saysis, I think, in the past, you walk into face Bama, you probably got some fear," Manziel said (Timestamp-0:20). "This is Bama, the team that's been a dynasty, you got a little fear. That fear aspect of what Alabama is, is completely gone.
"Ain't nobody scared of them boys now. Not Vandy, not Kentucky, not nobody. Nobody is walking in and seeing Alabama on their schedule and having any kind of shake, any kind of fear, nothing. They've been getting wiped the last couple of years, You say that buyout's deep. But they're not going to sit here and let this stand for sure."
