So you say we have been down since 2005, please explain to me how we were down in 2006 and 2007?
Let's just say that on paper they are SEC caliber players. That's why this year is a good indicator of the ability of Dooley to coach a team. Until now, we hoped he'd win, but the reasonable people didn't expect him to because he simply didn't have the talent. This year he has the talent.
Personally, I think we win big this year. I think a 10 win season (including a bowl) is not out of the question. I am excited to watch this year unfold. One way or another, it's going to answer a lot of questions moving forward.
We weren't nationally relevant. When UT isn't nationally relevant, their down. It's that simple. I don't care that we won the East in 2007 either. We got hammered 59-20 at Florida and 41-17 at eventual 6-6 Alabama.
What gave it away, the record?
right now, dooley. If muschamp doesn't win 9+ games in 2012, he'll be on the hot seat next season. In the SEC, meyer and chizik won titles in their second year, saban in his third year at alabama and fourth year at lsu. There's not a long honeymoon anymore.
