Semantics. Sure, not a failure, but failed to meet the (your) standard.
what’s the point of bringing up Alabama in every other post - other than to compare Mario’s current efforts to those of Saban. We get it. Mario isn’t recruiting like Saban, Smart, Riley or Jimbo - today. That may be a “fact,” but it’s a meaningless fact if you are unwilling to acknowledge any of the circumstances that contribute to that fact.
No one’s triggered. It’s mostly just responding to your dense reasoning.
To use your example - It’d be like conducting a quarterly review with an employee you hired 6 weeks ago, and writing that employee up for not producing similar results to an employee that’s been there all three months. Makes no sense.
