This ending to our season answered the questions I was needing answers too.
Butch is our Mark Richt and that is okay.
We need a Mark Richt right now. We need normalcy and consistency.
Butch will keep a high level of talent in the cupboard for the next coach.
Butch will never be elite because he can't adapt to in game situations.
If his game plan doesn't work from the start then he is in trouble.
His ego won't allow for progression. Even when injuries dictate change, he can't change. The plan works in his mind and the plan is to stay the course.
He is elite at marketing and motivation, but adaptation and change in the face of adversity aren't in his abilities.
He is stubborn to a fault.
Injuries are an issue, but they are an issue for all football teams. We aren't the only team to struggle with major injuries. The data is out there if people are motivated enough to look.
I hate Lane Kiffin, but I recognized quickly that an elite coach can take his pieces and win due to maximizing the strength of his players. Jonathan Crompton wasn't an SEC level QB but Lane made him successful by recognizing his weaknesses and maximizing his strengths.
He has done the same thing with Jalen Hurts this year. He maximized his strengths and kept him away from his weaknesses.
The saying for general neyland was that he could take his and beat yours or take yours and beat his.
Leadership matters and that is the main reason Saban is the best in today's game.
His coaching tree doesn't always equal immediate success due to the fact that his subordinates aren't him.
Butch is going to win 8 to 9 regular season games per year. He's going to make the players that last good men that matter in society. He will not embarrass the program and it's great name.
But, he will never be elite or take us to the top of college football. He does not have the ability to adapt in the face of adversity.
Steve Spurrier is an excellent example of an elite leader. He had zero fear and the drive that few ever possess.
Don't give up on Butch. Don't get down on this team.
Recognize their weaknesses, but praise their strengths.
It's okay to expect results, but don't hurt the program during the process.
Buy your tickets, go to games, purchase apparel, and complain during bad performances. But don't expect Butch to be Saban because no one else in the college football world can live up to those expectations. There are only a small amount of coaches that are close to the level of Saban.
Expect better than what we witnessed today, but don't hurt your program due to false expectations and wearing your heart on your sleeve.
