Why Alabama Football Feels Different in 2025
The post-Nick Saban era in Tuscaloosa has brought a wave of change — but not the kind many expected.
According to a longtime staffer who worked under Saban, there’s a surprising new energy surrounding Alabama football in 2025.
The anxiety that once lingered around perfection and pressure seems to have faded. In its place? A more confident, focused, and cohesive environment.
While Saban’s legacy still looms large, the Crimson Tide are adapting — and thriving — under new leadership. Players and staff alike are embracing the transition, fueling optimism for Alabama’s continued dominance on the national stage.
