HC Candidate/Rumors/Info Thread

[HurricaneJacket]

Hearing a bunch of rumors out of Alabama that BOB is the next guy, feels like a rumor trying to talk its way to reality from the Bammer side.

Batt is from there… I can see it as true. BOB is the safe choice, Key is the cheap choice, Chadwell is the risk reward choice.

Please God no.

Read the comments and then pray for a miracle…

Everyone: we’d be happy with key or chadwell either way

Gt: ok we will hire BoB

This is a grim Twitter thread.

Not everyone agrees with that.

That's interesting. Alabama is #5 in the country in scoring offense - 40 points a game.
What in blazes do those people want?

Hey
Happy Thanksgiving
If you’ve read this far looking for a coaching announcement, it’ll probably get its own thread when it happens
If this thread is stressing you out, take a walk or lift weights or go fishing or eat some ice cream or something else that relaxes you

We’ll still be here at 244 pages or whatever. Really

Peace

They are still angry about LSU and Tennessee.

When the Bammers are glad we are taking away a coach, remember how Temple fans were glad we were taking away THEIR coach.

I do not want a coach the fans are glad to be rid of.

If BoB is the selection, then this search will end with a thud.

40 points a game. I don't get it.

That rumor is being started by BOB's agent. He's lobbying for the job. I think he'd do well (seriously, Bama people blaming the offense is the moral equivalent of blaming the offense for our losses to Duke and UNC in 2014), but doubt this is the direction we're going though I've heard more chatter from my contacts about this than Chadwell.

 

[JacketOff]

Just because Alabama fans would be happy with BOB leaving, doesn’t make him a bad hire. Bama fans are just mad they haven’t won a NC in 2 years. While I certainly think there are better options than BOB, and I would much rather have Chadwell or Key, BOB would be solid. In Bama’s 2 losses they gave up 32 and 52. Their offense isn’t the problem. Their defense and lack of discipline has been.

Something to consider is the relative expectations of Temple fans vs Alabama fans.

Also the relative quality and depth of recruits that put up those 40 points per game for BoB at Bama vs the quality of players at Tech He will get and recruit.

BOB only won big 10 coach of the year and ESPN National coach of the year in 1 of his 2 years as a college head coach. He’s not my #1 but it is not as bad a hire as y’all make it out to be.

Well it's all relative, but I'm referring to the level to which Alabama fans are spoiled vs Temple fans. I mean 40 points a game and they're ready to tar and feather the guy. It's ridiculous.
