There are changes coming. Of that there is no question. Must be an upgrade,even though The Tide was a Metchie/Jamo injuries from going back to back themselves. Was Alabama one of the 4 most elite teams in the country this year? I think so. At least ,healthy,our ceiling was.Did we earn it or deserve the shot? Dont know about that but ohio definitely didnt deserve the opportunity.
They have to upgrade. Not in talent. But in Player Development.Too many guys regressing,and too many guys playing like they are on "permanent scholarship". Scheme issues out of their backend on both sides of the ball. Physicality issues.Discipline issues to go along with Bama fatigue(example: Tennessee ballgame).Personnel issues. Are these on the players? A little, of course,but mostly on the Coaches. Let me offer some K.I.S.S.But so important,and that is Todd Monken is ass over heels a better schematic Coach,a better play designer,and way more creative than BOB could ever be or ever was.And probably most importantly,he is world's better than O'Brien Coaching the QBs. Bryce was so poorly coached it was ridiculous.And under Golding running our defense,just remember how many alignment,assignment, tackling issues,coverage issues,and all the ensuing Busts and gashes have killed this team. Again Ga has Glenn Schumann,Will Muschamp,and Kirby designing what they do. HUGE difference.
There are going to be Coaching changes for sure at OC+DC,and maybe some position guys too. But I am sure CNS will make the correct hires because he knows the importance and differences.
