I'd mentioned this in another thread. I figured with a new staff (for the most part), new/different offense/defense/special teams, new terminology, and a crap load of true freshmen playing a lot in the secondary, there were going to be some struggles. Think about this, in their first year coaching at Bama:

Coach Bryant 5-4-1

Ray Perkins 8-4

Gene Stallings 7-5

To automatically assume that there were going to be no growing pains is a bit naive and unrealistic.

Because people are fricking idiots and have no idea how significant these transitions are. They think because of the talent and resources he inherited, there'd be zero growing pains and we'd win every game 907373-0. Never mind the fact that our secondary was a concern and our QB is Jekyll and Hyde.

I'd love to go back and read what people on this sub had to say about Sark and Kirby in their first seasons at Texas/UGA because I bet it's almost copy/paste identical. And don't tell me they didn't inherit a goldmine of talent as Sark inherited four top 10 classes (three of which were ranked third) and went 5-7 with a laughably easy schedule.

17 consecutive years of success absolutely spoiled this fanbase and I bet the same retards said in 2007, "Shula didn't lose to Louisiana Monroe".
