That's all anyone remembers, but that 2007 Alabama team actually showed significant improvement. Competitive in every game and got just the program's third bowl victory in 10 years. They also had very little talent on the roster.
Kirby barely eeked out wins over
Kentucky, Louisiana-Lafayette, Nichols State, and Missouri and lost to Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, and Ole Miss (45-14) with a team that had won 10 games the year before.

That was the worst 10 win team in SEC history. They got run over by the 3 teams they played that were above average.
Richt's teams had an unholy collection of skill players but for the most part they were soft as baby shite on the offensive line. He had good offensive lines in 2002, 2005, 2007, 2012 and 2014. It's not a coincidence that those were his five best teams.

Why is an Alabama fan even trying to debate this. Everyone who follows the sport knows that Saban was already a great football coach when he took over at Alabama. The man had been coaching for more than 30 years, won a championship, been a head coach in the NFL. Any attempt to equate Saban 2007 with Smart 2016 is completely inane and not worth addressing.
Georgia played lousy last year in large part because Kirby Smart is a rookie and doesn't know what he's doing yet. That's not intended as an insult, it's just a fact. UGA's athletic dept deserves the insults for hiring him, but we're stuck now and hoping he's a fast learner.
