I hate to say this, but defense is done......Is Jancek the man????
He is one of only two assistants ever fired by Richt .... Thus his inclusion on the greatest coaching staff in America.
We arent losing to Vandy in Neyland or 2 yrs in a row and UK wont be close.
Saban couldnt have gotten this defense even top 50. Apparently people forget Saban's first year at Ala. They were aweful and alot of those players didnt buy in or talented enough to play in the SEC. They were 7-6 his first yr at Ala. And they were in better shape than our slow a$$ D. Oh and how about one of the best D Coordinators in Monte Kiffin and what he gave up to AU, OleMiss, and a few others that ran the spread. We have to get depth and speed that Dooley forgot to recruit. Damn...
and we hired the other one too:hi:
Saban took over an absolute tire fire at Alabama his first year. By the end if his first year you could see great improvement, unlike what Butch has done here. I think I recall that in Saban's first year he brought a bad team into Neyland and beat the hell out of a 10-4 UT team that played for the SEC Championship..... 41-14.
The idea that he wouldn't have done a much better job with this defense is ludicrous. No doubt in my mind that Saban wins 7 or 8, maybe 9 games easily with the same exact team that Butch is about to win 4 with. He's the top collegiate football coach in the country, a hall of famer and a much, much better coach than Butch is and more than likely ever will be.
