re: What year will Arky finally end the streak and beat Bama?

I dont think OC is a downgrade. Paul Petrino and Garrick McGee are both good imo.

i respect Paul Petrino as an OC. but i was really impressed with McGee after some of the behind the scenes stuff we all saw last year. Also, i think when you consider all the outside factors with Bobby P leaving, I think it will create an uncomfortable situation for the coaches. Now, im not saying that everyone on staff cant get along and work hard, but i think they are gonna take a few steps back in order for everyone to get on the same page again. they may not go all the way back to step 1, but there are gonna be some changes and some growing pains. I dont know if Arky can get all that worked out in time to play bama and beat them.

Also at this point, Saban's Alabama is all up in the heads of everyone involved in the Arky football program. There is gonna be a lot of people who are gonna be quietly wondering whether John L can get the job done against Saban.
