    2009:

    lost by 25 to Auburn
    Lost by 20 to UF
    lost by 28 to Fl
    Lost to Ark by 21


    Not seeing the competed part there.

    .
    Hang on, Auburn was a bad loss in Dan Mullen's very first SEC game. But we lost by 10 to #1 UF, by 4 to No.7 LSU, 11 to #25 Georgia Tech, and by 7 to a 10-win Houston team. That Arkansas game was a one-score game in the 4th, and Arkansas' last TD came with 2 minutes left in the game. There were very few times when the game was basically over before it started that year. IMO a big part of the excitement from 2009 to 2010 was not just because of the Egg Bowl win but because our team was playing hard every week. That's not a comment on what we have or haven't seen this year, but that 2009 team was pretty competitive with a talent deficit.

    On UF... I'm not counting the pick six in the last 3 minutes of the game. In fact, our offense didn't score that game at all. Banks had 2 pick 6s.

    But again... That was Sabans low years.


    I 100% believe we are going to win more under Mullen, and feel we are on the cusp of something special. The recruiting is picking up. We are now ponying up the money for DCs..

    But we are way off on the pay for position coaches
