Bama scout team made up of former nfl players

Urban Meyer was stunned to find out you can actually do this. After making a few phone calls he realized all of his former OSU players are in jail and not available for practice sessions.

Saban figures out how to do things better. Alabama pays him a lot of money to do that and their ROI is thru the roof.

I hate to agree with this but you are correct. Saban thinks outside the box. It does not hurt that he has the biggest coaching staff in the universe.

I think it's hilarious that Trent Richardson was brought in to act as Leonard Fournette. A guy who can't hit holes and averages 2 yards per carry is the perfect impersonation of LF7 when he's playing Bama.

Alabama is absurd---you are talking about a university and a state that is totally obsessed with winning college football games, and will pay just about any price, or do anything, to do it. The backwards Alabama culture has something to do with it--as is true, perhaps to a slightly less obsessive degree, throughout the deep south. American/southern priorities, baby: I'm surprised the SEC hasn't agree to let their fans bring their guns to the games and shoot them in the air when a TD is scored. Monster trucks at halftime....

Yeah right; a large portion if not majority of the Tennessee fanbase wishes our university was as committed as Alabama was and got the same results.

Bet you weren't saying that when he won the Doak Walker award. He was an outstanding college player.

You're aware you're on a Vol board and in probably the 1% that wouldn't do that same, right?

I despise everything crimson but I'd sell my soul to the devil himself to go on a run like they've had in the last 10 years.

Careful there... Sometimes wishes come true...

Have you read The Devil And Joe Daily? If not, you need to.

Thread title is a little misleading. Scout teams is not made up of former players. They can only be used on a very limited, ocassional basis and that's all Bama does. Bama is not the only program that does it. I read that USC has been for sometime and that Meyer/OSU is starting to do it.

With all due respect, this might be in the top 10 dumbest things I've ever read on VN

Pat Summitt did something similar to this when she was the coach at UT. She brought in really good former HS players to scrimmage against her girls. I knew a couple of guys who did this and I think they got partial scholarships plus free shoes, shorts etc.

Saban is smart and will find any way he can to make his team better and obviously it works. Hell the guys has freaking coordinators in waiting and calls them something like an offensive analyst

I wish the leaders at UT had the win at all cost mentality. It would be nice to be a force to deal with every year, and be picked to win a natty ever year.
