With that kind of coach, are nyou equally hesitant to say we can't go 10-2?

I'm not hesitant to say it (I see what you did there) at all. If Saban had a completely new/different offense, I wouldn't expect 10-2.

Having said that, this is a silly analogy.

Saban != Ed Orgeron, and never will.

At least you're consistent, but I think that would be a minority opinion. And I know you are using the word expect precisely, and seemingly consistently, which is fine.

Of course he isn't. The question is, what kind of effect does a good coach have on a team and further on expectations? It seems that because Ed O has never had great success that we shouldn't expect great success, and we find a whole bunch of ways to justify it. Meanwhile, Kirby Smart inherits a worse situation, does better, produces, and probably has a fan base right now that expects at least a 10-2 season.
