There is no guarantee the teams those years would have done any better with the way recruiting was going the years prior. Fielding a team with an average recruiting team rank in the 40+ category doesn't yield successful seasons in the SEC.

Bert underachieved based on an talent level he brought in that would not have been at the same level had he not been there.

Add in his players mixed in and all he had to show for it was an 8-5 season.
