8 wins isnt a good season. its an average season at best. stop lowering expectations. good is 10 wins. average is 8-9. bad is under 6-8. trash is 5 and less. Manny went 6-7, 8-3 and was on the hot seat in season 3. keep the same expectations for a better coach in Mario w far more experience. better win 9 or more or youre gonna lose more supporters in year 3
Not only that but they argue as if there has been no change in direction. The change in direction has been significant and substantial.
Exactly! Somehow people think we should lower expectations when we spend more than twice the money.
Manny was the one who let the culture go to ****! So, of course he won more games it was club med by the time he got fired!!
I can understand why you would say that. You also have to acknowledge that Mario is bringing in way better players than Manny. It’s only a matter of time until he starts winning and winning big here. That’s why some people are willing to be more patient. And the fact that he cleaned house and running a spread O which he has never done is even more telling that he’s willing to change to win.
Context. We play 5 of the top 6 teams in our conference along with Texas A&M. This teams can be very improved and still be 7-5, 8-4.
I agree schedule is more diff than last year. I don’t have a. Ton of faith in a bowl game as too many kids sit out and rightfully so. Unless it’s a cfp it doesn’t matter. 8-4 would be an improvement would still be average and I expect more from a veteran 8 mill per coach. Just my expectations overall. I can live w it shut seasons from first time hcs not vets
I agree Mario is recruiting better. Right now they’re good on paper. We said the same when manny took over and brought in James Williams lt rooster Chaney etc. on paper they sound amazing bc we have their hs ranks. Let’s see if they get developed and perform on the field. That’s what we never did post butch. I agree he will eventually win. I don’t think he’ll win big in terms of a title which is fine. I don’t expect us to. Ever win one again short of a burrow type qb coming in and going nuts for a year . The rest I’ll wait and see. Atm will tell us what we need to know this year from miami

Says the guy who thought we would win 10+ games last year. Include yourself in your own “dope” category then.
Yeah, I forgot I did that. It's already been brought up. I drank the Kool aid, I'll own it. Thanks for posting just to call me a dope. Hope it made you feel better.
how many more people will use saban year 1 at Bama AFTER he had already won a title at LSU and actually his year 1 was a 1 game improvement for Alabama from the last year. mario isnt saban. he will never be saban. he may never be a single person on that list tbh and it isnt a negative. hes a good coach hes not elite nor should he be considered in the elite. he was the best we could do, but hes not the best that was available to be poached (see USC).
Plus Romberg hasnt been a blind homer. He was very openly critical of how things were going in the past. For him to post something that positive about our near future means he's really seen and heard things that he likes.
Brett has been very vocally critical in the past. Thus his positive words carry far more weight than a moper who doesnt have anywhere near the same connection to the program and wants to pretend none of the positive changes are real.
