Don't think that hasn't crossed my mind the last couple of years. Seriously, I've seen the secondary and LB corps fall off some and it drove me to drink on multiple occassions this season.


It will be hard to correct the secondary problems due to who coaches them. I do not think Saban would focus on another position.

We could have let Smart go as well.

Saban is involved but the secondary took a drop after Pruitt left and Kirby took over. Word is Kirby will move back to LBs and we will hire a secondary coach.

Either way, I think the secondary issues are a combination of (1) youth/inexperience (2) talent compared to prior year (3) scheme. A bad combination of those 3 spells disaster for a scheme like ours. We will see if it improves next year. It should, but at this point I'm not confident.
