Recruiting Football Talk VII

[TheRain]

Bama's next zoom call...

 

[JCP201]

BAMA may have a hard time hiring a coach-- I don't think many would want to follow Saban.

You know whats interesting though. I can remember exactly where I was when I found out Earnhardt died. Anyone else?

Rarely watch racing. Did that day. Odd. No reason. Grew up 15 minutes from where he lived though. So little different for me.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I love that Saban retired out of nowhere and we didn't have to listen to the garbage "replacement" talk and love fest for an entire season or longer.

Bama update:



Doesn't read like Gene understands the phrase "far and away" but whatever

36-9 in the FBS, 104-12 overall. Impressive stat, but based on what I saw this past Monday, I’m not too worried.

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

So looks like it’s Kiffin to bama

I heard on WJOX that he has a daughter, Alexis, who is highly ranked softball player committed to UW back in September.

Docs: UGA staffers routinely drove after drinking

Georgia football recruiting staffers routinely drove rented vehicles after consuming alcohol, according to court documents.

Football recruiting staffers at the University of Georgia routinely drove rented vehicles after consuming alcohol, according to court documents filed Thursday by attorneys representing a former staffer who was seriously injured in a January 2023 car wreck that killed a Bulldogs player and another staff member.

In an amended complaint filed in state court in Gwinnett County, Georgia, the attorneys also alleged that UGA assistant football coaches used cash to pay for recruiting expenses during unofficial recruiting visits, which could be a violation of NCAA rules.

The amended complaint alleged that "text messages show that on occasion supervisors and coaches, in effect, encouraged recruiting staff to drink alcohol with football prospects' families-well aware that staffers would leave the events after consuming alcohol."

"Association coaches and staff regularly drank alcohol at UGA football Coach Kirby Smart's residence during recruiting events, and then, in Association SUVs, returned recruits' families and guests back to their lodging," the complaint said. "The Association and UGA coaches were well aware that involved alcohol, in Association SUVs."

The amended complaint included a Dec. 14, 2019, text message purportedly sent to 13 staff members by then-UGA director of player personnel Marshall Malchow, which said: "Hey guys... if you are driving you can have fun at Coach Smarts but if you are driving a recruit make sure you don't get drunk. It will be a bad look if we have people who are supposed to be driving recruits getting lit."

In a Feb. 22, 2022, text message, another athletic association employee told recruiting staff members that an associate athletics director said to turn a downtown Athens restaurant "into a bar with [recruits'] families and don't leave."

Then Deboer from Washington which is the one coach I don’t want to be the head coach… really hope they strike out there too.

 

[Deathandtaxes]

He is a good coach but idk about him recruiting in the south

That’s my only hope… southern hospitality and that way of life is a real thing.

 

[VolNash17]

Why is everyone scared of Washington coach

He’s a good schemer but not a great recruiter which is a requirement in todays SEC

They said same thing about Heupel. Depends who he adds around him.

I'm not overly concerned about any coach taking that job. Just glad Saban has left the building.

 

[VolNash17]

Kiffin burned some bridges? Is anyone surprised? Lol

 

[VolNash17]

It’s good Saban left because they won’t hire anyone as good lmao. Guaranteed.

 

[GoodTimeVol]

He has absolutely no ties to the southeast could easily be another Bryan Harsin situation like Auburn dealt with, it’s laughable to be afraid of that

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

 

[DD4ME]

Not sure the Norvell tweet says he's staying though. Would like to see Bama fall past DeBoer and Norvell. Cause then it gets fun as heck.

Finebaum was talking about this few minutes ago. Said people at Bama have told him the WA coach reminds everyone of Brian Harsin.

 

[DD4ME]

He eats the coaches that don't make him money
