There’s no “suspect” to it. He’s developed it into a fine art and he’s way more deep into that process than any coach benefiting from collectives doing their thing. There’s a good reason he got into car dealerships.My point is that he is trying to make a distinction between his players' NIL money and collectives. He's claiming that Bama is completely separate from the NIL contracts, unlke others who are participating in the process and using it as an inducing part of the recruiting process.
He said that he encourages his athletes to get agents and negotiate as much NIL as they can, while the school and staff are completely decoupled from that NIL process. Thus, claiming that ALABAMA doesn't pay players != claiming that his players do not get NIL money. Is he telling the truth? Don't know? Have they been paying players under the table for years? I suspect so. But that is the NIL distinction in his CLAIMS that many people seem to be missing.
Agree on Kippy. An interim never works out well for a whole seasonI’m a doubter of the Whittingham conspiracy…he would’ve been an epic program changer tho in my thinking. I know the Interim Kippy is a popular revisionist program savior but I doubt Hamilton wouldn’t chosen anybody better a season later and have no faith that Kippy would’ve salvaged that 2010 class. Acceptable if the next hire is a homerun…resubmit negative prediction. We took a beating top to bottom because the whole root was rotten. That wasn’t going to change with just a HC.
