Luck has something to do with it. So does having a very strong conference for the past decade. You can't just will a championship, you know.

I think a lot of you look at Alabama and have the impression that it is just easy to win a MNC so long as you have the right coach. That's just not the case. You have to have the right combination of players, schedule, coaches, conditioning, calls by the refs, and the ball bouncing your way to win it.

Football is a complex sport and you can't reduce it down to one man (the coach) and call it good.

This is true, look at Auburn this year. That's why most get so fusturated with Richt for not making an obvious fire (Willie, Grantham, Lakatos. There's enough obstacles to making it to the top without making your own;

Sure there are a lot of factors but you can't ignore a trend. The sample size is plenty big enough. 9 years without a conf title. 6 years no bcs bowl, lost 3 of last 4 bowl games. It's staring you in the face. You have a right to your opinion but it's clear as day to me. The defense didn't improve this year and we are downgrading at qb. Next year won't be as good as this year. I love the dawgs but that's the way I see it playing out. Hope I'm wrong but I doubt it.
