Other than the JL stint at the beginning of 2011 and last year with 4 guys now starring in the NFL, this team is very reminiscent of the Charlie Mac years. Losing to quality opponents in close, low scoring games, and occasionally winning a close, low scoring game. Midtier bowls. Upper tier of the SEC, but not cream. Although it's hard to remember many games where Mac's teams were just awful on defense. Yeah, different eras, blah, blah, blah, just talking about from a fan's perspective. In both cases, a coach the players loved playing for, well respected in his profession, a really likable guy, but just didn't seem to keep pace with changes in the game.
