Even alabama lost to louisana monroe in Saban first year.

That's all anyone remembers, but that 2007 Alabama team actually showed significant improvement.



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.

So many reasons beyond coaching mistakes that are well above your level of understanding?

Kirby had some decisions go the other way.

But the biggest issue was lack of senior leadership (the only good senior was Maurice Smith) and lack of effectiveness on the OL (we shuffled the deck several times over and never got consistency).

2017 returns a solid list of upper-class leadership and brings a strong cast of new recruits to the team.
The concernew will be if the OL improves and how many freshmen we need to make a big contribution at positions like OL and DB.
