re: The Melt Down is Real......

I think people are more concerned now for a number of reasons, primarily:

- 2008 was 6 years ago and Les is in his early 60s now. I think some are wondering just how much he has left in the tank. There are concerns whether he is coasting to retirement. Maybe he is tired. He has lost his sister and his mother. Maybe the game has passed him by. Maybe his focus is moving to other things in life.

- The rest of the SEC West has upped its game. A&M is in the West now. Mullen has State on a new level. Freeze has brought up Ole Miss. Malzahn is burning it up at Auburn. Saban has cemented Bama as the best. None of these factors were present back in 2008. Bama had yet to win a championship with Saban.

- There was a clear thing to change in 2008. Malveto was a mistake. Hire Chavis, problem fixed. This is more foggy. Who do we fire and replace?

- Finally, stagnation and fatigue have set in. Most of the fan base is just tired of the BS. We went through a Shepard/Lee/Jefferson fiasco. The thought of going through a Jennings/Harris fiasco now is just tiring and about as fun as eye surgery.

At least thats how I feel.
