Didn't say Leach is better than Jackie, but I do think we win 8 games this year, which is something Jackie didn't do in 9 of his 13 years.

And the SEC, especially the West, is much more competitive now overall than it was during Jackie's days.

I'm not slamming Jackie, I love Jackie. But I am slamming the idea that what Jackie did is some level of greatness that we can't see again. We were a Burks trip and flop from 8 regular season wins last year, which is as good as it got with Jackie aside from 1999. We need to take another step forward this year, but we're not that far from the same level of success.
