The truth is it is OK for the team be not so hot this season because we won the WS just last season.

this is so fricked on so many different levels - first, this is loser mentality - you set a standard and you ALWAYS play to that standard - I doubt Saban ever told a team that it was ok to lose because of what a prior team had accomplished the year before - this current team being given a pass because of what some other team accomplished the year before instills the exact opposite of what you want to instill in a winning program - second, the ship of giving coaches a pass for an off year sailed years ago when coaches' salaries went through the roof - to whom much is given much is expected - Johnson is being paid way to much to be given a pass for an off year
