Can we kill this thread? Coaches in their first year at a new school:
Saban: LSU, 7-4. Bama, 6-6
Kirby: 7-5
Dabo: 8-4 (was previously on staff too). 6-6 in year 2.
Jimbo (Aggy): 8-4
Fickell: 4-8
Franklin: 6-6
Oh, and Texas was 95th in the nation this year in returning production.
I'm not saying Sark will be the guy. I'm saying it's way too soon to know. In fact, we just had two close losses to top 15 teams that we should've won. Glass half empty = we choked, coaches suck. Glass half full = we had both teams on life support and could easily be 6-1. Cultures don't change overnight. Rosters don't change overnight. It takes time. Heck, shore up the OL alone and we probably win both of those games even with all the other shittiness.
