Get an average defense on this team and one more really good RB, and most of the nit-picks of last year’s performance fall by the wayside. I think the bowl game shows that. Our defense came to play and our running game dominated and King didn’t have to over perform or get outside of himself to...

If I were a betting man I would take bets on this. Whoever follows Saban has to win immediately or the sharks will be in the water. Can you imagine the recruiting pitches at other schools? “No question Alabama used to be one of the top programs in the country but the great athletes who don’t...

Dissipates or dispenses? Out of curiosity does anyone know how many seats are reserved for students?

Yeah, but do you switch off on pick & roll, crash a screen, slack off to help a brother in the paint….? So complicated 🤣

That’s not new. This was a 700% increase in the last 3 years.

Absolutely but someone suggested his wife got an unexpected health diagnosis. Sad if true and could throw off any carefully laid plans. 4 coaches had always been mentioned as possible successors but this catches them all at a bad time too except for the Oregon coach.

Well, the dog fan was right about one thing, Kirby is in a better spot in Athens than he would be anywhere else in the country. He’s not going anywhere. Time was Alabama would have been one of the premier coaching destinations in the country. No more. Recruits from Georgia to California to...

I want to double down on how much I like Stoudamire’s press conferences, especially after this loss. He communicates clearly both in what he says directly and what he says between the lines. His focus is on the players. He cares about their development while incorporating tough love. If they...

Thoughtful response. I’m ignorant about European bb. Do they allow zone defense? Struggling to learn how to play man to man is going to be a problem for any player if they want to play for Stoudamire and/or go pro.

Unfortunately it also artificially contributes to “strength of schedule” and “good losses” for various teams. And the main problem is that it is harder to climb up from a low ranking than it is to drop out from a high ranking.

Yep. Damon is going to do it his way.

I think he would have liked one more championship but realized that might be harder with NIL, and strong programs at uga and Michigan, and take longer than he wanted to stay coaching.

One would hope that the retirement of a coach like Saban would be carefully planned for. No evidence yet for that yet. Ideally, you would have the next coach already lined up and have a plan to take care of players and recruits. Will be crazy to see how this unfolds. NIL was enough chaos to...

Alabama will not choose a high risk “up and comer.” They will go after a solid recognized name in the business. As others have pointed out, Kirby Smart has a groovy thing going at uga. Hard to imagine him leaving for any other school. Norvell and Dabo were considered top choices at one time...

Dabo’s name hasn’t come up in the thread but he is considered one of the leading contenders according to insiders. These are the schools that could be looking for a new coach depending on how the interviews go: Clemson FSU Ole Miss Oregon

I think we are on high ground with regard to the tsunami. But I did have a momentary panic attack today thinking about Key getting poached. 😊

The ink not being dry does not necessarily mean we haven’t hired one yet. I don’t think Key is dealing with any curveballs.

And, on a small back story, this tsunami wave this creates in coaching turnovers impacts every team hunting staff. But my bet is Key is one of the ones Saban gave a heads up to.

This is what I’m trying to figure out. Alabama we understand but Tech?

Never never could I ever figure out how somebody who was 205 pounds could run over people like a 235 RB. He didn’t have that reputation at Auburn and was mainly a blocker but the Falcons had bigger backs in their history who did not run as hard.
