This isn't a few years ago, so 9-4 won't cut it. This team has two, count them - two, number one ranked recruiting classes playing and a number five. This team has been poorly coached. 9-4 is what gets coaches fired at Alabama.
That being said, the staff should begin working on next year. Ingram cannot win the Heisman; let others who will be playing next year begin to get experience. Mac's streak is long gone; McCarron needs the meaningful reps. Go right on down the line and work for next year, because this team's goals are out the window, all of them. The collection of older players obviously provides no leadership, because this group has no heart. Oh, and go out and buy Running an Offense for Dummies for our offensive coaches and let them read the chapter on play calling.
