I would say they've been a problem since he's been there, but things don't necessarily get easier after you win a title (other than in recruiting). But yeah, they are also going to lose a chunk of guys (heard this morning that Cine is going pro for example), plus all the guys that returned last year are gone. Kirby is going to have to adapt and adjust, and that can get muddy (see most everyone lately other than Saban who has hoisted the hardware).
