Also we lost those last two games last year because of defense.
bullshite, AJ McCaron lost the OU game with his 5 turnovers. Bama should have blown them out but every time we got going INT city. Bama actually outgained OU in that game and while AJ had 350+ yds his INts negated those yards. The game plan was to feature AJs passing game ImO like an NFL audition. If we would have feed our RBs the ball more then Bama would have easily won that game. 5 TOs that lead to 35pts lost that game.
The AU game was a mix of both but the offense failed when we needed a yard to seal the game.

Nussmeier got us away from the power run game and made us more of a finesse team. That is also Saban's fault for letting it get that far but it looks like he's learned the error of his ways. He seems to be going back to what made us so successful in 2008 and 2009.

To me the argument is similar to the Tiger Phil argument. I know some knowledgeable PGA people that say Phil is more talented than Tiger (not that Tiger isn't talented but less than Phil) but the drop off from Phil to Tiger is minor compared to the difference in Tiger's work ethic, mental tenacity, and insanely intense focus.
From what I've seen of Spurrier, and as was mentioned earlier, he's insecure. His mind set seems to be: if I couldn't do it, it A) can't be done legally, or B) the person who did do it has their priorities messed up. He does coaches through the media better than anyone I've seen in a long long time - maybe ever, and people love it (outside of clemson that is) He wasn't paying Nick a compliment regarding recruiting. He's trying to play mind games. It works against Dabo. Dabo tries to fight SOS on SOS's terms. The whole "BAMA better than the Jaguars" thing...SOS knew it would get 2 weeks of media coverage if he talked about it. And SOS seems to only talk about people/teams that are of any consequence to him/ his legacy. Any thing to get a distraction. Is Nick a great coach, anyone that says other wise is silly. Just ask yourself, if you team's coach were let go and Nick were available - would you want him to be your next coach? Of course he's not perfect. He's like the chessmaster that loses to an unconventional street smart kind of player. Chessmaster wins most of the time but has his achilles heel also. SOS is a top 10 coach, some times though his insecurity show. I'm pretty sure also that Nick is about an hour+ from ending his day, and will start tomorrow morning at 6am and end it about 14 hrs later just to make sure that his team doesn't lose to KENTUCKY after one of - if not the- biggest wins ever his home stadium
