I guess many football fans will have their eyes on Alabama this year, but for a different reason than in the past. Since I have always been a fan of good coaching, Alabama was my number two team when Bear Bryant was there. Since he left, I pull for Alabama when they play outside of the SEC. I...

animal02: O"Leary never beat the dawgs (0-4) without Friegden. He had an 18-20 record without Friegden. His success was mostly Friegden, not the loosened restrictions on studies at Tesh. His record at UCF is very good, but that was not Tech.

It means nothing to me to hear the statements that he cannot get his type of players. To me, that is not an excuse, that is the fault of the coach. Just maybe, his lack of good recruits is a result of his type of system played and his charisma or lack of charisma with recruits and players. The...

I would like to clarify my reply above to include the statement that I am not judging Williams, because he may be right in his assessment of the situation, but the coach still cannot have those conflicts on the team.

Reading between the lines, he caused his brother to dismiss any thoughts of coming to Tech. If he was causing unity problems within the team structure, and if he was bad-mouthing PJ openly, that appears to be enough to dismiss him. Even though, some of his remarks may be on spot, a coach cannot...

BainbridgeJacket: Yes, that would have opened up Vanderbilt and Tennessee as one of the most watched games in the NCAA. The officials at Tennessee would have to hire the entire Knoxville police force for security for the game at Tennessee. This would give the word "Targeting" a new meaning...

dressedcheese: "You might as well fire him if you say that". Me: "O'kay lets do it".

The ACC record in bowls was about what most expected. I thought we (GT) would lose, I thought Virginia Tech would lose, and some of the others. I thought FSU would win, and I thought Clemson had a good chance of winning. I thought Duke would surely lose, but was glad when it looked as if they...

Wrecker: Understood.

It is my opinion that the coaches made the right choice. All recruits know they are to expect competition for a job, so they do not take it wrongly when others are thrown in the competition with them. However, this situation did not sit right with me, and I believe it could have negative...

AE 87: I was not comparing or even thinking about Tevin Washington. I did not mention his name. I was merely stating the apparent fact that Vad Lee did not do well in this type of offense. I then gave specifics regarding this issue. I am sorry if you did not like my response, but it is what it is.

I have no idea of the changes, but, I do know a change I would have insisted upon if I were the AD. I would tell him to turn the offense over to an offensive coordination and get on with coaching the finer things that a Head Coach must oversee. If he is spending too much time with the offense...

Boomergump and AE 87: I totally agree with the first synopsis; I think Vad Lee did his best, just not the right fit; fault, the coach for letting it go on so long. A matter of opinion on his quickness; he did not appear to be quick to me; however, he was fast enough in speed; another matter of...

The advantage that I see with Thomas is that he is much quicker, more decisive, and does not mind mixing it up. Since he has already been in practice as the number 2 guy for a year, it would seem reasonable that he should know the system, and the coaches should have noticed if he had the right...

I agree with the aroma of this topic. Saban may be setting he and Alabama up for a lot of trouble and eventual fall from the throne. Personally, I would rather give Petrino another chance instead of hiring Kiffin for any job. At least, Petrino, appears to be humbled by his mistakes and has tried...

It was easy to see that Vad Lee did not belong in this type of offense. He was not quick enough, he was not decisive enough, and he was very tentative when runing with the ball. He should never have never taken the bait from the coaches and signed with GT. He should have signed with a College...

Bring back Mack!!! He appears to be very beatable now! Although, we have been doing alright against the present coach.

He may be a good recruiter and have a good offensive mind, but I do not like his actions from all the news I have heard of him.

This was a double post. Tried to cancel it, but could not.

I agree that the secrecy that some seem to hold over other's heads indicates a better-than-thou attitude, but, it would seem reasonable to me that some information should be brought to the mods' attention prior to posting. I feel that some information may be delicate and cause harm to affected...
