The measuring stick should simply be:
Do we have a good record or not ??

Frankly, I do not care what Saban or Miles did.
The teams they had and the circumstances were different so comparisons are not very valid.

Coaches are paid to win, end of story.
Will they win ALL games, NO, but must maintain a level of acceptability...whatever that may be.

Couldn’t agree with you more. Each coach needs to be judged on not just his record but his circumstances. Not all 8-4s or 9-3s are the same. Contrary to popular narratives we do not judge Saban’s 8-4 in 2000 differently because we like him but because the circumstances when he took over we’re very different than when Miles or O did. I realize since it was 17-18 years ago a growing portion of the fan base is too young to remember it and they don’t want to hear “back in the day” stories but the program is very different today and expectations are different. Losing to UAB was bad in 2000, losing to Troy 17 years later is way worse.
