re: Rationale Bama fans: how many starters do you bring back?

You lose a Senior QB, All American Center and a 2000 yd rusher/Heisman winner and you think the offense gets better?

Bama was 45th in the nation in total offense. It's not like they were great and this year's offense can only get worse. Bama returns 3/5 of the OL, vast majority of the receving production, and Kiffen is still the OC. And so what if Bama loses Coker? Sure he wasn't a scrub nor was he really good. If Barnett/Bateman can be serviceable (just like every 1st year starting Bama QB under Saban) and the run game can avg over 200 per game (avg 199 in 2015 even with Henry's 2K) then it's not out of the question for the offense to be on par if not better than 2015's.
