One Flop and Already Calling For Saban?

So Nick comes in his first year and drastically improves a 4-12 team. Then in his second year there are HIGH expectations for a team who was 4-12 the year before. The team although impressive at times, overall was a dissappointment. Now people are calling for Saban's head? How many of the league's top coaches went for years with dissappointing season? Belichick (sp) anyone? If Saban is fired, who does everyone intend to bring in? I can understand firing a coach after years of failure when an improvement is available. But what is the basis? People need to THINK!@

Once I get another job VIP here I come!
 
how did he drastically improve the team? this year showed last year was a fluke? 2 years no playoffs....im not ready to call for his job yet....but im losing patience

Exactly. We'll evaluate him at the end of next year. If we do not make the playoffs, perhaps it'll be a time for change or a very short leash. I'm sick and tired of mediocrity though. Get me Lovie Smith or Tony Dungy or Cam Cameron.
 
tony dungy? what exactly has he done?i wanna win in the playoffs...not just make them

Two years?! Two years?! teams have gone ages without playoffs, and remain loyal to their coaches. I don't even think the Patriots knew what the playoffs looked like in the 90's. Last year was no fluke. This team is being rebuilt.

Lovie Smith - Early exit from playoffs
Tony Dungy - Early exit from playoffs
Cam Cameron - another short leash

I don't see the carousel getting any better. It took 5 years to get rid of the son of the boss (Jimmy Johnson/Dave Wannstedt). Why 3 years and a hook for a man with a total difference in philosophy from those bums?

Do me a favor and define "success" for Saban; under what circumstances would you have been happy? What tangible results would have been good enough? Once you do that ask yourself if your standard of success is fair. Did you really expect us to be in the Super Bowl 2 years after Wanny's debacle? Was Saban to inherit an old, underachieving, overpaid, and offensively inept team and turn it around in just two years? I hink the anti-Saban crowd is short sighted and devoid of any real perspective.

Carrol made the playoffs, Parcells made the playoffs, and of course Belichek. It's not like the Pats stayed with the same guy for a long time.

We haven't made the playoffs for half of a decade. I'm sick and tired of it (mediocrity).

With the way his team is playing, he'll have a Lombardi trophy to show for it in February.
