It must be very disconcerting for Alabama fans to be hit with the realization that these players don't 'love the helmet'. The mass exodus says otherwise. These guys don't give a flip about Alabama, the program. They wanted to play in Nick Saban's program, not for Alabama. Otherwise, a lot of these guys would have stayed. As said, I'm shocked how many guys have transferred out.

Of course, this is true for nearly every program, including Arkansas, I'm sure. Very few players commit to the 'helmet'. It's always about the Coach, Playing Time, Opportunity for me, etc. There are probably 10% of recruits who will commit to a school irregardless of the coach. Typically, guys who grew up as a fan of that instate team. Luckily for Arkansas, we've had guys like that I think would have played for Arkansas regardless...like Darren McFadden or Bobby Portis.

Everything in collegiate sports is about the Head Coach.
