Smart's fatal flaw was choosing Fromm over Justin Fields. Going to bite him in the *** for a long time.
With that said, idk if he underperforms to the talent. I guess a little, but not criminally so. 3 straight years of winning the east, two top 5 finishes. 3 top 10 finishes. They have placed on average somewhere between 2 and 3 in the recruiting rankings since he's been there. We're in the ballpark. Again...I think Mullen is better, but they are in the same tier of guy. I'm not going to penalize a guy too hard for not being able to overcome Bama.
At some point, if you're killing a coach for just not overcoming the best, you're just chasing the dragon.
If Mullen can somehow pull this game off, that'll change the discussion, tbf.
