Year 1 successes

I am just needing one positive thing coach wise. Unfortunately I haven't found one. That is worse than knowing we are awful. Always next year.

Recruiting?

Nick Sabans first year at ALA 2007
1 Western Carolina (W) 52-6
2 Vanderbilt (W) 24-10
3 #16 Arkansas (W) 41-38
4 #22 Georgia (L) 23-26 vs #16 ALA
5 Florida State (L) 14-21 vs #22 ALA
6 Houston (W) 30-24
7 Ole Miss (W) 27-24
8 Tennessee (W) 41-17
9 #3 LSU (L) 34-41
10 Mississippi State (L) 12-17 vs #22 ALA
11 Louisiana–Monroe (L) 14-21
12 #25 Auburn (L) 10-17
13 Colorado (W) 30-24

Even though they did go to a bowl game his first year against Colorado, look at who they lost too, and sometimes lost as a ranked team.

You cant judge a coach on his first year.

I am all for comparing Butch to Nick Saban's first year as long as you're going to continue to do it in years 2 , 3 , 4 , and 5
