re: This year likely hurts

I think I understand what rebuilding means. I coached HS FB and Bb for 30 years.
I’m not saying the sky is falling. I’m not saying we will have a losing season.
I am saying that we have lost some depth and some key players, and a new system will take some time to jell.
I am tickled with the hires and I think CKD will do a good job. But I will not hold it against him if bama goes 8-4 next year. I will not hold it against him if bama does not make the playoff.
To insinuate that we hired the wrong guy if he doesn’t do this or that by year three is unfair.
I know the cupboard is not bare, and there are still some studs on the team. I have high hopes just like you do. Maybe I’m willing to be a little more patient in getting where we all hope to be.
