You specifically referenced ball security.
We averaged 1 fumble per game. Only 3 SEC teams were better at ball security.
The teams that were worse include Auburn, Alabama and Georgia. Clearly the 3 best teams in the league.
Your stance being that ball security is reflective of the quality of your coach...and the fact that we actually had good ball security...I'll let you piece together what you are actually saying.

No.
Bama lost 6 fumbles this year.
Georgia also lost 6.
Ole Miss - 5
A&M - 5
South Carolina - 3
LSU - 4
Vanderbilt - 4
Miss St - 6
Kentucky - 8
Tennessee - 8
Arkansas - 9
Florida - 10
Missouri - 11
Auburn - 13
We were tied for 97th.
Auburn for 116th.
I think you may be looking at the wrong stats.

Ball security was a problem, but not even top 5
Play-calling
Lack of aggression(never going for it on 4th down)
Overconfidence
Special teams failures
Dumb penalties
All of those can be attributed directly to coaching.

Lost fumbles?
What in the frick are you talking about? Whether they are lost are not is 100% dumb luck. Putting the ball on the ground or not is the only thing a team can control. Who it bounces to after it hits the ground is pure randomness.
Again, only 3 teams in the league were better at not putting the ball on the ground.

The team looked undisciplined, poorly prepared, and had poor fundamentals. In addition, the game plan was badly thought out, with our offense playing to a depleted teams strengths. Our recievers still have too many drops, we still use Witter too much, the tacklers still do not properly wrap up.
Opening game of the season, I might excuse some of this. This was an end of the season Bowl game. Poor coaching. We have proved only that we can beat the walking dead.

Lol. You’re a joke.

Why do you insist on being purposefully obtuse? I don't get it.
Are you seriously trying to say that where an oblong ball bouncing on the ground winds up is not pure randomness? frick dude.
There are studies on this (not sure why anyone with a brain would need them), but there are several. Lost fumbles are completely random and pure luck.

Read up. This is probably your dumbest take yet, and that is really saying something.
