I could be wrong, but it always seems like coaches get a first year grace period where all they need to do is get the ship headed in the right direction.

That's the difference between Alabama and the rest of the country. Saban knew what was expected of him before he took the job. "What have you done for me lately?" is the question. The only answer is win....

Yep, I agree completely -- winning is the only thing that will silence Saban's critics. And at this point, it seems like Saban bashers have had plenty of opportunity to vent their feelings, so we're going to go ahead and shut this thread down and give the Bama fans back their forum.
