Earth to Pride. Are you kidding me? BK starts with 39 scholarship players and you expecting us to up to Alabama and Georgia's standards after 1 year? If this is how you think afraid neither Saban nor Smart would have satisfied you in thier first year and a half. As far as Perkins what you are forgetting is Perkins production last year was helped by a better secondary.
You don’t get to coach at an elite school and say you can’t get good players to play for you. Sorry. Doesn’t fly. Imo, it’s Les Miles 2.0. He will be good enough to not get fired. You want to coach with years to rebuild, go to Ole Miss. That is the type of school you can do that at. Otherwise, we are not as elite as we think we should be.
Would you have given up on Saban his 1st year and a half? Saban went 8-4 in his third year. BK won the big bad SEC West his 1st year, did Saban do that? LSU Tigers (Southeastern Conference) (2000–2004) 2000 LSU 8–4 5–3 2nd (West) W Peach 22 2001 LSU 10–3 5–3 T–1st (West) W Sugar† 8 7
Les Miles did things Saban didnt do here as well. LSU was not Elite prior to Saban. Need me to explain anything else? This man won a title at LSU. You want to know how? Trust me, it had nothing to do with X's and O's.
Man I just don't see your point look at Kirby's first 2 years. Sorry I dont see much difference in BK's first 2 and Saban and Smart's first 2 other than the facts show BK did better his first year with less talent. Georgia Bulldogs (Southeastern Conference) (2016–present) 2016 Georgia 8–5 4–4 T–2nd (Eastern) W Liberty 2017 Georgia 13–2 7–1 1st (Eastern) W Rose†, L CFP NCG† 2 2
Less talent my asshole. You cant say we suck this year because of the draft last year and then say he has had less talent...
