Recruiting Football Talk VII

[lilesrt]

Jedd Fisch would be an interesting hire. Lance Leipold would be solid as well.

Half the people in the football forum can’t spell our own coach’s name.

I wonder how many can pronounce our quarterback’s name?

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Today I learned that Alabama fans also can’t spell Kiffin. They also seem half-ready to Schiano Kalen DeBoer if it happens lol.

They can spell trailer parks, inbreeding, and meth

I threw a ball for my dog...










It's a bit extravagant I know, but it was his birthday and he looks great in a dinner jacket.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Sad day for the bama community. I wonder how many of them called out of their McDonald’s shift today to mourn?

They would be stupid to not like DeBoer. He’s a hell of a coach and an even more likable guy that has paid his dues.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Good move, Lanning. Who’s next Bama?

Dooley, Butch, and Gump all have Bama ties

 

[eVOLve]

This makes me so angry.

I think they should be required to revise their poll

Bama is so Fd

Yeah...but 2 losses in true road games and 6 wins in neutral court games I'm sure helps (as does the win over us). I'm kind of surprised the loss to Southern at home didn't screw with it more.

Per the SRS they're 4-1 against their top 14 matchups this season in the teams they've faced and the loss was at South Carolina. Bama/Auburn are the only 2 teams with higher SRS ratings than us they have left to play.

SOS usually doesn't care about who played...but considering Tolu missed the first 12 games of the year I think they could actually be a high seed come March.

Tolu being out is why I didn't mention the losses, I know in the past the basketball committee has been forgiving about losses without a key player.

All of this circles back to the original point though, that loss probably kills our chances to win the SEC. I went back and looked since Barnes has been here only twice has a team with 5 losses won the conference typically it is 3 or 4 with a couple of teams at 2. Assuming we split the UK games(it's hard to win at corrupt), and we split the Bama or TAMU games..... that's not leaving a lot of room for error.

I've got a feeling Lanning says no. Maybe its just wishful thinking. But he's in a great situation. Leaving great situations for another hypothetically "better" situation doesnt always work out like you think. Just ask Lane Kiffin.

Nailed it.

That's a victory lap. They want me to replace the GOAT... nope.

Closes with a TSIO imitation.

 

[drylo]

doesnt even matter how good the new coach is......filling those shoes is not possible.

Correct. Saban lost 29 games in 17 years, and 6 of those were the first year — so in the last 16 years, he lost 23 games total. 14 conference losses in 16 seasons!

Nobody can live up to that, especially now that UT is going to be competitive, expanded conference schedule, etc.

Even if they can find a guy who can go 10-2 or 9-3 most years, (a) that is a huge step down from what that fanbase is used to, and (b) they lose the mystique they have had and just become one of the top handful of teams in the SEC (which is still a strong brand, etc., but not the inevitable powerhouse they have been).

i have used that line so many times in my life.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

This hire is either gonna be a gigantic splash or a humongous turd in a punch bowl

 

[Volnut]

 

[Kurtastrophe]

Feeling more and more like Kiffin. It’s USC all over again

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Bama is so Fd

They are coming to Neyland next year

 

[drylo]

Boom
So it begins
Lololol

We have a lot of experience with this and know how it goes. Bama doesn’t, so they will have to learn the hard way. As cool as you think your program is, it’s harder than you think to get top candidates to leave a good situation.

 

[drvenner]

Believe it only when I see it.

I mean, you have to be pretty much this way for every team. It is not simply a matter of having a great team. It is about matchups, consistency, sometimes luck. Nobody is ever a lock to make it.

Bama is so Fd

I hope
