I go back and forth a little. Want Dan to get it turned around but don't see him getting better in areas he needs to like clock management, offensive creativity in red zone, aggressive defense, etc. He stuck in his ways. He might improve in recruiting with new staff members, not sure.

I also think it will be very difficult for him to find good staff members unless they are up-and-coming coaches similar to what Sirmon appeared to be. To get a proven OL coach, O coordinator (which Dan needs), etc. will be difficult for him to do.

I also think a creative O coordinator would help him with creativity in red zone, but he seems stuck in his Florida patterns. After all, they won (Urban) NCs in 2006 & 2008. What they did then worked and should again ... right?? If Saban thought like that there might be another team or a few that could play with Bama this year.
