re: Is anyone else Meh about this year no matter?

Coach O is becoming the second coming of Les. As long as we are winning they are lovable goofballs whom everyone likes. But when we start losing, they are shown to be poor coaches who don't really belong at the top tier. O has not done what he promised. Half of his hiring choices have been dismal. But he also meddles in their plans when he said he knew that was not his strength.

His supposed strengths of motivation and recruiting are now highly suspect as well. He has lost the loyalty of his team over stupid remarks in the press. If you add up all the opt outs (quitters), lost recruits and what will undoubtedly be a lot of transfers at season's end, we are going to be short in personnel next year also.

As someone pointed out, there is a simple reason Alabama and Saban have dominated us. It is recruiting pure and simple. Saban kills O in the area he is supposed to be best at. Alabama's offensive line is always a factor of two or three times better than ours. The main reason we beat them last year, was them making too many mistakes and oh yeah we had a guy called Burrow back there who could escape when our off. line let those rushers through.

So yeah this year is a disaster in so many ways and the covid did have a lot to do with it but everyone else had the same problems from that. But how you think next year will be any better is beyond me.
