After studying on it some, I believe I'm really liking these staff changes. Dan seems to be making some good changes maybe. Now he just needs to let the D staff do their job, get out of their way, and try to hold onto them for more than a year. Overall I believe things are going in a positive direction.

If he'll also put that exceptional offensive intellect of his to work figuring out how to have a running game, score >20 and be more creative in the red zone against good teams, and run much more efficient 2 minute offenses (when needed at end of halves and games) ... then we might start finishing 2nd or 3rd more consistently in SEC W.

Hell, if he does all that and the staff recruits better ... he may even trip up Saban eventually. That is if he doesn't bolt when more elite programs take notice of his more consistent 2nd or 3rd place finishes in west.
