yes it's much better since BJ took over. It's ALMOST there. But we are lacking in upper classmen, and that means we are lacking in depth. All you have to do is look at last year or the year before. As soon as something goes against us we will have a field full of youngsters playing out there against an 80% upperclassman team and we will lose one and it will start the ball rolling.
The fans will start yelling "FYAR BUTCH!", the kids will start to have lower expectations. Jones won't sleep and start making bad decisions... it will fall apart like last weeks cake. this is the first time we have this D coordinator... he hasn't played ONE down with this team. Team 120 hasn't played ONE down.
Here's the kicker.... this one drives me nutso. Volunteers... ALL of them, players, fans, ALL of them have totally lost interest in being the best on the field. If you want to be the best, if you want to play at the end of the year, if you want to talk about expectations... stop going after small fry and EMBARRASS salami. Do it convincingly. Do it consistently. End saban worship. Then I'll have faith in so called HIGH EXPECTATIONS.
