I dunno. I look back at Holtz and he had a few clunkers

But I think his and Marcus’s situations were different. Faust still recruited pretty well over his tenure and Holtz was able to take that talent and then Vinny Cerrato’s work to create some good teams. I still can’t believe we had two straight 9-3 seasons before we had 1992 and 1993. Which I thought we would have two more championships only to be disappointed. He does need to exert more influence over the game. Nick Saban was constantly demanding better out of his staff. Even then he took criticism from the fans when they were winning tons of games.
