I don't really get the optimism either. Pretty sure everyone in this thread (along with anyone who's watched Bama bball the last few years) thinks CAG is a bad coach. Even if the newcomers turn out to be good, I doubt they'll be good enough to overcome poor coaching. Hope I'm wrong though.

I'm with you. I'm not sure how anyone could be expecting us to do well this season. I hope I'm wrong.

ETA: Hopefully the fire grant thread will get unanchored for the season.

I don't think Grant is a bad coach, I just think he is an overpaid coach. Grant's biggest problem to me isn't even the coaching either, it's been the lack of talent and depth. I don't see the talent being the issue this year, hence the optimism.

I can't speak for the others, but my issue was with this statement

will result in several more losses off a losing record team.

Bama will be better than last season, and will certainly not lose several more games than last year. That's as optimistic as I can be for now, but do believe we have some upside to get in the tourney.
