Couldn’t agree more. But here’s the point that we keep telling you: we couldn’t be doing any better than we are presently, even if Saban had stayed. There’s literally nothing to be disappointed about. Now we may end up having a disappointing season this year. But we will cross that bridge when we come to it. But this has literally been the best and smoothest coaching transition conceivable. Like no one could have imagined a better scenario when the GOAT finally stepped down, finding a suitable replacement, and attracting widespread approval and support for the new regime. Find me another coaching change at a program of similar caliber which has been smoother or as smooth as this! Maybe you can point to The U when Coaker replaced Butch Jones. But as good as Miami was then, Butch didn’t have as much success as Saban did.

Maybe you’re right. BUT … ONLY time will tell, not premature pessimism. However as I look at our roster now, I believe we are set up nicely for considerable success in DeBoer’s first season, especially as I compare us with other contenders. If anything, the next two seasons will be more challenging than this one after we lose another class to the draft and graduation. So again, there are literally zero reasons not to be excited for THIS season. The more I examine the departure of Saban and his last few seasons, the more it looks like he went out of his way to set us up in the best way possible for sustained success after him. And you can’t say that for any other coaching legend in history!
