when people that think like you use words like "mediocre" to describe the season, one in which 9-3 was the general consensus going it to it mind you, you'll have to understand that there will be some "apologists." Why was 9-3 OK before the season, but unacceptable after?

We expected 9-3 because we didn't expect to have a championship caliber team. 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.
What if we had expected 8 losses? Would 5-7 have then been a good year because it was better than expectations?

And clearly we didn't, so...

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?

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.
