re: Please stop bringing up the 90s to defend mediocre seasons

I mostly agree. We are an elite program and we have to be disappointed if we don't make it to the SEC Championship. We're at the level where's it realistic for our goal at the start of the season to be an SEC Championship appearance. You can only hope for any more than that though.
That being said, this season has gone as good as I could have expected or predicted at the beginning of the year. I said we'd lose one of Florida and UGA and one of Bama and Ole Miss. It just hurts how we lost this year considering we had realistic opportunities to win each game (especially Bama).

I'm personally happy where the record is, its just hard to feel really good about this team when we get beat soundly by the good teams and struggle to beat many of the really bad ones. The offense is in the same place as the defense was last year and its hard to imagine it getting better with drastic changes being made. I just dont get the feeling Miles is feeling the heat about the offense this year as he was about the defense last year. I have my doubts any changes will be made due to this. Next year will likely feature the same staff (short of anyone getting hired out, ala Porter) and I would expect a similar result...which is in fact, unacceptable. I am of the opinion that Crowton has got to go, and if he does not, then Miles needs to go.

I think this is where the disconnect is. I'm an "old guy" that remembers the Archer/Hallman/Dinardo days very well.
We ARE an elite team now. We recruit and staff as one.
I AM disappointed when we don't make it to the SEC Championship.
HOWEVER, 8-2 and #8 in the BCS is NOT firing material. The sky isn't falling and we're still elite.
The goal for an elite team is to compete for the conference and national title every year.
WE DID - deep into the season. We lost a good game at Bama and are out of the championship hunt.
If we get blown out in our last two games, then I'm going to be VERY DISAPPOINTED - to the point that I might start agreeing with some of the people calling for heads to roll.
Repeating 2008 is not acceptable with any regularity. It should happen no more than every 4 years or so based on who we are now.
It will happen sometimes though.
This team has shown itself to play like that team with some regularity, which is where the valid concerns are to me.
