re: Noticed this on Bama board, just shows how things go with

That's a neat list but, obviously, means nothing since no coach in their history (and probably, most coaches at any school anywhere not just bama) has walked into this good of a situation before. they are on the downslope of the greatest dynasty that's ever existed in the sport and have elite facilities, support, etc. And make no mistake after losing a couple transfers and recruits they will still have a roster that's better than 99% of CFB.

Now, I do think it's likely they're going to take a step back but I mean 10-2 would technically be a step back from what they've been accustomed to. People thinking they're going to start going 8-4 yearly are in for disappointment, IMO.
