The Decline Started Before O

I want O gone as much as anyone. But I refuse to dump all of this schit going on with the program in his lap.

Regardless of what you believe, the program was beginning to circle the drain a year or two before O got here.

The admin that hired O has been in place for years now. They are incompetent. They hired O...therefore they get the lion's share of the blame. He didn't hire his own dumb self.

Now he hasn't really done schit to improve things yet...but let's not act for one moment like we were flying high before Dumb-O.
We were averaging 4 losses a year from 14-16 (3 in the two previous years...not exactly elite). Our SEC Record: 14-10.....nothing to write home about either. That's mostly on Miles.

I'm not saying O was dealt a schitty hand to play by any means.....but we wasn't given a royal flush either.

Miles was slipping....not only on the field but recruiting too. He wasn't locking up this state at all. Saban was frequently poaching quality players out of LA...as were other SEC coaches...players we should have been locking up. And say what you want about the ranking of Miles' classes his last few years....it wasn't translating on the field in terms of hardware.
He brought in a Purdue reject to guide the team for god's sakes.
His constant meddling with the O put Aranda in an untenable position frequently.

Juniors kept leaving by the droves (still wonder why that always was with Miles) My question...how do other lesser programs get their juniors to stay?

We have struggled at the QB position for YEARS. You're not going to win championships with a marginal signal caller who can't throw under pressure when he HAS to. DE was not the answer. This problem coupled with the one-dimensional nature of our offense cost us games.

So we've basically had average coaching since the 2014 season.

Something got broken in the program after 1/9...and its yet to be fixed.

Spin and downvote away!!!
