"I mean, we sure are making a lot of radical assumptions based on one win.

I understand that Alabama just had a two-loss season, but Kirby is still 1-4 overall.

For comparison purposes, Georgia had two losses in 2019 and dropped the SECCG by four touchdowns (to LSU)."

Sometimes it takes a little while to get to where you need to be.

Saban had been a head coach for over a decade by the time he got to Alabama with a national championship to boot.

Kirby had to learn those lessons while also trying to win national titles. Saban started at places that didn't expect that.

Also, when Saban came to Alabama, it helped that Urban kind of went to shite after 2009, so that he really had no competition other than LSU's occasional championship type team that crops up every five to six years or so. Unfortunately, Auburn pulled a cloverleaf out of their rear for two seasons in the midst of mediocre football.

Kirby had to beat Saban when he was still at his height and showing no signs of slowing down while Kirby had lesser talent and less experience.

He's finally got the program where it's simply reload. Has anyone reloaded better than Kirby last year?
15 players lost in the draft including five on the first day, no portal players and ends with a 15-0 record and a national title playing 3 top 6 teams, and 7 total ranked in the final poll.
