re: Simple luck is why we're not 6-5 on the season

We expected 9-3 because we didn't expect to have a championship caliber team.

And clearly we didn't, so...

We didn't expect that because, well, why would we? New QB again. Youth everywhere again. 2 losses doesn't usually get you a championship, and Les had only managed fewer than 2 losses once in a decade.

Then what is your issue? Saban doesn't win it all every year. Why do you want a guy that by all accounts met expectations fired?

What if we had expected 8 losses? Would 5-7 have then been a good year because it was better than expectations?

If that was the legit expectation, obviously it would be. But it would also call into question if Les had lost it. You let me know when the expectation is that low though.
