[QUOTE="Rodney Kent, post: 25499, member: 923"] BigDaddyBuzz: It is a combination of the coach, the schedule, the matchups, etal. However, my view is that the buck stops with the coach. Regardless of the opposition, the coach is hired to win games and develop players. The coach is paid handsomely to win the games. If we don't care about winning, then we just hire a coach, pay him a professor's salary, and it is his job to teach the sport to the players. However, it is true that a team is a mirror image of its coaching. What you see on the field is the result of the coaching to produce those results. Auburn is a great example. Gene Chizik's record was 8-5 in 2009. He rode a great quarterback to a 14-0 season in 2010. He then, dropped back to 8-5 in 2011, and down to 3-9 in 2012. Gus Malzahn comes in 2013, plays for the NC and has a record of 12-2. The team played to its coaching. We will see if this continues next year. There has never been a dearth of talent at either Auburn or Alabama. Bobby Bowden had grown old and should have given up the job sooner, but from 2005-2009, his record was 8-5, 7-6, 7-6, 9-4, and 7-6. His coaching was affecting the play of the team (he still had great material). They were a mirror image of his coaching. Fisher takes over the head job in 2010 and continues through 2013 at present.
