A fair point, but (and I ask this sincerely as I wasn't around for anything but post-2000 Fulmer years) do you think that if we hired a coach who sustained something on the order of Meyer or Sabanesque success the talk would dissipate?
Dissipate if he was winning like Saban and Meyer are, yes. Go away completely, no. Somebody would always score too many points against us, or we wouldn't score enough; we missed out on a recruit or so; and there would always be one of the AL/MS or OSU/VT games. In general, though, the grumbling is directly proportional to the winning - particularly if it doesn't seem the winning is influenced by luck.
