Yeah I want a shot at Clemson again and it’s not a fair expectation but I think playoffs are what’s expected which isn’t reasonable but problem is Alabama has created this expectation with all of their success so any thing short will be viewed as the downfall of this current run. I am tempering expectations until I see how this defense looks with Goulding calling plays. If it’s true he took over five games into the season then why would I expect better cohesion this year on defense. We also need to get back to smashing teams physically. I like the high scores but out inability to physically dominate teams hurt when we got to playoffs and against MSST and LSU.

It's plaguing gymnastics right now. the fact that Sarah Patterson took Alabama to top 4 finishes nearly every year for a quarter century is kind of ridiculous and their current status is honestly what awaits whoever replaces Nick.


(Under Sarah, Alabama finished within the top 8 every year since 1983. Imagine if we had to replace a baseball coach who took Alabama to the College World Series, literally EVERY year. )
