Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Enki_Amenra]

Oh he’ll absolutely be in Atlanta by Year 2, if not Year 1, but long term (3-4), what then? I just don’t see it.

I agree. I think he makes the playoffs y1&2 then it starts to crumble. I'd say he's gone by y5 or 6

 

[MoCo_Vol]

He'll want a great QB. None of the playoff teams that could potentially have a head coaching vacancy after this season will offer that. The Chargers do.

But the Chargers could be waiting on a OC or DC that's not available to interview yet... NFL is a lot more professional in how they poach from other teams.

Jim may also want to be able to draft the QB he wants to ride with. I'm just sharing an opinion though, I still don't know if he leaves for the NFL at all.

Gonna be a tough first season for the new coach. They play Georgia week 4 and have to play at Neyland, Death Valley and Norman. Also have a tricky Missouri team that should be better than this years. Even going to Wisconsin could be an L that early. What if the tide loses 4+ next year?

You call that tough with the roster he will have? Looking at it it looks like 10-2 or 9-3 at worst.

Are you related to her? If not, you don't really stand a chance.

some folks forget it's Alabama we're talking about here

there are rules

I'm pulling for Golesh to start DeBoer's career off right with an L on 9/7.

I was in Wisconsin once for work and it was -21 with the wind chill. I thought my eyes were going to freeze in my head. It was absolutely miserable.

Ah yes my childhood home state. Grew up on a farm there. I’ve felt -60 with windchill. Even with heaters in the barn livestock struggle. 5 mins of exposure to skin will result in frostbite.

Bama will likely be implementing both a new offense and defense. 2024 will likely be rough for them with that schedule.

"This just in. Nick Saban accepts open position with Washington Huskies and goes on to win 4 National Titles".

 

[TN-POSSUM]

I hope DeBoer's buyout is as big as Jimbo's was. I also hope he goes 8-4 (or worse) this season and they fire him.

Alabama needs that..... the SEC needs that

Let it burn

Boom!

I am so excited for alabama right now

 

[DarthVol1]

Pawl saying Washington has called a players meeting at 430 Eastern.

 

[Revived2002]

Bryan Harsin 2.0

 

[RiseToTheTop]

what is Washington working with, portal wise?

 

[GoodTimeVol]

Good lord. I hope you'll be ready to move on soon. This is getting tiring. Plus, I think you misread the original post.

The difference I see in Deboer and Harsin is that Deboer seems to understand that CFB is a line on scrimmage game and that will translate to the SEC. If you have that and a really good QB you can win lots of games.

Will he be Saban? No.
Will he be really good? I think so.

You mean the same line of scrimmage that allowed Michigan to run all over his defense when they knew it was coming…yeah no he is nowhere close in that regard

 

[Vols2DaWall]

I think DeBoer is good for them. He’s not Harsin

Nick Saban almost lost to USF and Auburn with that roster this year. Now their best receiver Isaiah Bond is in the portal. Even 9-3 will have Gumps rioting in the trailer park as the worst season since 2010

 

[PEPPERJAX]

I think DeBoer is good for them. He’s not Harsin

Kind of hoping DeBoer is like the Harsin we saw at Auburn.

 

[Revived2002]

I think part of why Saban left is he knew he didn't have the right pieces to compete - particularly QB

DeBeor inherits the most mediocre QB room at Alabama in some time IMO

 

[Nash_Vol97]

That’s a solid hire. Acting like he’s Harsin 2.0 is silly. Acting like he’s Saban 2.0 is also silly. He will do mostly well at Bama, IMO, but whether or not he works out long term will depend on the recruiting.

In the end though, anyone not named Nick Saban being the HC of Bama is a win for us.

 

[GoodTimeVol]

You seem to think he will keep most of the roster from transferring? wish some of our fans had the same faith in our coaching staff as they do in Deboer lol

His lines got destroyed lol
