positions. Dawgs are more than one year away from East title at best, and even if they won a very weak East, they still have to play a top tier West team. To be a national title contender, top 5 team will take 2-3-4 years or more. Kirby and staff should not be judged on this year, maybe next year and for sure his 3rd year. Fact is this year Dawgs are 7-5 and finished 3-1 in regular season, Saban lost his last 4 regular season games his first year, finished 6-6. Like Saban, Kirby will have to recruit at very top to win a championship, good thing for us, he is well aware of that fact. Best way to judge a team is to look at them compared to the best, and I know what my eyes tell me.
