We play to the level of our competition

I think everyone's expectations are way too high. Under Saban we blew out inferior opponents. If we were better than a team we squashed them, we got use to that! This is not a Nick Saban coached team. for better or WORSE, it is what it is. This team plays just good enough to win. There isn't a person on this board who can tell me that we play to our potential. There isn't a person on this board that can tell me we are improving (offensive line/ play calling)!

The problem is a complacency that comes with 3.5 million a year. See defense exibit A Jamarcus Russell (way more money). This O line does not play hungry, they play without emotion or heart, the way Les Miles coaches.

I want to a coach any coach running around rallying the troops firing up the guys. We are not getting the most out of our players! A team full of 2 and 3 stars playing HUNGRY beats a team loaded with 4 and 5 stars not playing hungry, that's why we are playing to the level of our opponent. Do you remember when Saban showed the guys movies? He did that to inspire them, to fire them up, if that didn't work he chewed their as_ on the sideline if they didn't play hungry! We have lost that passion, that fire, that sense of purpose and I put that squarely on the shoulders of LES MILES
