CMR isn't Saban. He's not Golden either. Once we have an enormous talent advantage from recruiting, he'll win 9 games a year (maybe 10 once every 4 years or so). Those expecting more than that will likely be disappointed. Those thinking we got another Shannon/Coker/Golden because we suck again this year are being too pessimistic.
That's a fairly retarded statement. Saban didn't come to Alabama with a super impressive resume either. He lucked into a split national title in 2003, he would've been crushed by USC if the BCS got it right. Other than that he was a slightly above-average coach prior to coming to Alabama. What he built when given the right circumstances is indisputable.
