I don't want to make this into a discussion it's not, but in this generation, with this type of entitlement, every staff has to battle expectations and complacency. Assuming that Kirby will handle it just like Saban is highly assumptive. We'll see.

Saban has handled the coordinator changes because it's his defense AND his offense. Every coordinator Saban hires says the same thing, "it's not going to be much different because it's Coach Saban's offense". Saban's coordinators throw in wrinkles and whatnot but it's all a part of his offensive scheme and strategy.

We can agree to disagree about the complacency issue. Smart was with Saban for a long time. Kirby seems like the kind of coach who learns pretty quickly. You don't stay under saban that long if you dont.

I agree 100% about Saban and the coordinators. No other head coach has survived that type of turnover. I honestly don't know how well we would be right now without Sam Pittman.

For example...QBs and RBs want this OL. WRs want these QBs. Our recruiting is rolling right now. But the OL spot will not slow down despite the depth chart. So long as we can win in the trenches, everthing else will fall into line (pun intended).
