It won't matter, the guys that question his legitimacy at this point are either f'n morons, or just f'n scumbag trolls.

The morons deserve to get roasted, but the anti-AV trolls (and we all know who the are) should absolutely get ban hammered out of VN existence...I hate those guys...newbs don't know who they are and it causes a lot of unnecessary crap being thrown around. 🤬

Catbone was in a band.

He is obviously right brained.

Right brains don't do math.

I too am right brained. Hated math. Excelled on the creative side.

There are plenty of high paying professions for us.

Ask a certain poster on here that is a graphic magician. He will tell you the same.

I felt like I always had to work twice as hard at math growing up. One of my weaknesses is that I'm not detail-oriented on things that I don't really have lazer focus on. In math courses, that means lots of opportunities to make mistakes on assignments with definitive right and wrong answers. I hated it. I loved history.

Once I got into grad school, I started using computer programs (which prevent a lot of calculation mistakes) and took graduate level stats courses using data on problems related to my research, I enjoy the hell out of crunching numbers now.

I think there's just a fundamental issue with the way we teach math to kids.

I was really good at math as a kid. Then I missed a week and a half of school in 6th grade during the introduction of pre-algebra concepts. Fell behind and struggled from that point on. On my ACT I got a 19 in math and a 36 in reading, lol. My math score was low enough that I had to take a remedial class when I started college, which was actually insultingly easy. I remember we spent the first week on rounding numbers.

And, if I'm not mistaken, remedial classes don't count towards your GPA depending on the university.

How Jeremy Pruitt reportedly feels about replacing Nick Saban down the road
Click to expand...

If he took the Bama job, it would be solely out of love and allegiance to his alma mater.

I think Pruitt is a very good coach, but he's not Nick Saban. And when you're not Nick Saban and you follow in his footsteps, you're going to be disliked because you aren't going to deliver the same results. That fanbase is royally spoiled after 12 years of being on top. The next guy is absolutely screwed. Even Dabo won't measure up to Saban's success, given his weak ass ACC schedule. I also believe there will be a power vacuum when Saban retires, which will render stuff behind the scenes at Bama a total mess.

Meanwhile Pruitt has the full backing of Fulmer at Tennessee and is getting anything and everything he wants. He also knows that expectations in Knoxville, while high, are much lower than they are in Tuscaloosa. It's amazing because Saban is good enough to avoid being a victim of his own success, but actually his success has just pushed the inevitable blame onto the next 2-3 guys who follow him.

I am surprised Mario Cristobal's name is never mentioned as a potential Saban replacement. Although he wasn't a coordinator there he was an elite recruiter (National Recruiter of the Year in 2016) and Oregon was very good last season.

Nick Saban wasn't Nick Saban...till he was. Pruitt may be even better, it sure seems like his players love him more.
