Fans, including myself, will look back at this decade and see how accomplished we were. We will go through some growing pains right now. We will rebound.

See, that's the thing. This is why NFL > CFB. When you suck in CFB, you suck. You're going to lose recruits. Your rivals are going to get more, and get better. They're gonna have more talent. And there is no safety net, there is no system to help. The only way to return from it is to have a superior coach who can do more with less talent.

This team did it with nick Saban. Next thing you know, we're on the map and the recruits are flowing. Saban leaves.... miles rides those recruits and has success. We have had a ton of talent, there is no doubt. But when the talent runs dry, we are not built to be good. We do not have a coaching staff who can elevate lesser players. A few bad seasons and we are done.

There is talent at QB, RB, WR, TE, S, & CB.

If there is talent enough to be competitive along the OL and at DT, I haven't seen it.

I also don't see how the OL is better next year without Collins.

If we don't get more talent in the program in the trenches we cannot win with the philosophy Miles and Chavis employ.

Each needs near dominant (not just good or pretty good) play along the lines.

Again if it's there I don't see it.
