Saban loses to someone almost ever year. He's not unbeatable. It's frustrating to see people act like we can never do it. Just because Dooley and [itch bay] sucked doesn't mean we couldn't hire someone capable.
He’d have been Ok. Certainly fine given how bad the SEC East became. But hiring OK is not why we moved on from Fulmer. Sights should have been aimed much higher. We just happened to throw a Hail Mary into the latrine on Dooley instead.
I think Kifffin could have eventually beat him a couple of times had he stayed and built the program.
Kiffin left in mid January, which is well past peak hiring season. There wasn’t a better option than Cut who would’ve taken the job, IMO, especially since it was clear that Hamilton had no interest in using an interim coach for 2010 (which may have been the best choice at that point).
I think Georgia’s only win against him was his 6-6 first team. My memory could be serving me wrong, though.
