My point exactly. While Skip did work well with him, it still only got us even with many other big time programs. We weren't light years ahead of anyone else, like Bama is now.

And more troubling, since he left there doesn't seem to be any sort of the same commitment. So when everyone complains about Bama, it seems we are our worst enemy.

Mark Emmert was all in. Overruled that previous Alleva, Joe Dean in hiring Saban and for the price to hire Saban. Mark knew admissions etc would go up if investment in football. From there the administration was all in and continued until 2007 when Alleva was hired and then double whammy of F King Alexander.


NFL teams that are good organizations have good owners. Same goes on the collegiate level with AD and sometimes president.
