This is well said. Name one coach not named Saban that really checks EVERY box? Serious question.

They [B][U]all[/U][/B] have strengths ... and weaknesses. Babers checks many boxes and there are a few unchecked, too. His time management is often lacking. His proclivity to go for it on 4th down seems to have disappeared. I'd offer that his passing offense is too linear, but for one week against Wake, that was not the case. So that might be improving. He's not the best recruiter, but he's fine there.

I wish everyone calling for Babers' job would realize that his replacement will also have his flaws. I really don't think Babers is going anywhere. He's going to be our HC next year, almost assuredly (>90%). Let's see what he can do with an average-to-plus O-Line and a plus quarterback, because when he has had both of those, he's done quite well.

Last thought: I did not like last year: 1-10. But that season, which is the primary root of most of his ills with the Fire Babers crowd, does not go off the rails if COVID never existed. You know the story, but context matters and I think too many here are not acknowledging the circumstances at play en route to 1-10. Babers certainly has some work to do and some of that entails looking in the mirror, but let's allow him to continue to keep building.
