Man, this is about to get nuclear in the SEC. As for this hire, I'd say Saban did okay in replacing CLT at this point, leaving AU lying on the floor. Will be tough to get any kid worth having from Mobile to leave AL now. Willis is known as the premiere recruiter from TT's remaining staff.

Damn...Saban has ballz of steel, I'll certainly give him that.

saving face. after having UT hire his LB coach out from under him, he had to do the same.

Wonder if that same Bama poster that called us classless is unhappy with this hire?

I was really hoping that the guy from South Carolina (who interviewed) would get it.

Someone needs to tell the SCAR fans that the ship is sinking quick.

They seem to think its a coincidental mass upgrade of the coaching staff.

Wonder if the bammers will be in a uproar with the "timing"? Every darn one of them were screaming at Thompson and Kiffin!

Bammers:

"Wow, this is just incredible. Aside from it being an absolutely great hire for us, the shock waves of this one are simply cataclysmic. To compare it to the Lance Thompson move, this is like a 9.0 on the Richter scale while the Thompson is a minor 1.2 that can barely be felt." :post-4-1090547912:

"He's in the same neighborhood as Thompson as far as recruiting, and imo, a better LB coach. So, another upgrade." :rofl:
And as for Saban... is there anything this man cannot do?"

"CNS just called Kiffin's hand and upped the ante . . . Chizik/Dye just folded." :lol:

"If they haven't realized it yet, they all better wake up. Nobody gets one over on CNS. I think he encourages these ACs to move on so he can bring in better people without firing them. Just like Major last year. I am not saying Steele and Thompson weren't good coaches, I just think this is all part of the process. This is only going to get better! Thanks Coach!" :post-4-1090547912::post-4-1090547912::post-4-1090547912:

Geez.... What a bunch of hypocrites!!!

Kind of reminds me of what Sean Avery said about his ex-girlfriends dating some other hockey guys after they split up...

First off, I will start by saying that I am impressed with the coaches CLK has assembled. But to say that "Saban is getting nothing more than the scraps/leftovers is quite ridiculous. There are excellent coaches throughout the SEC and besides Bama put him on the map after last years recruiting class. Yes he has always been a good coach but it took exposure at Alabama (with the help of Saban) to make him a top recruiter.

From one viewpoint, one could conclude that UT is getting Alabama's sloppy seconds and paying double for it.

As for Alabama, we have reloaded with the hire of Willis and Sunseri. I look forward to the game this year in Tuscaloosa. Best of luck until then.....Roll Tide Roll.

If UT gets them it is sloppy seconds? If Probation U gets them it is reloading???? WTF???

I do like an opinion from other fans....but that is a double standard

Hypocrisy! Here's a sampling from your Bammer board concerning Kiffin and Thompson.

"The problem I have with this is the timing. The way I see it Lance's departure, just before NSD, was done with a purpose. I do not beleive that it was coincidence."

"this was the wrong way to handle it Lance."

"Meanwhile, Kiffin isn't gaining any fans outside of Tennessee. First he steals Coach O out of Miles's graps and now he takes Lance from us. He's building a monster over there and ....ing other fans off in the process."

"If all the facts and circumstances surrounding this situation ever come out, UT will have even more mud on its face than it does now. I was struggling with trying to accept, if not like, UT again. Now, I won't even have to try..." :post-4-1090547912:

"Well put, it is business as usual on the hill......................"

"ut,you must be a glutton for punishment! trust me......when then mods on this board give info re; subjects such as this,you can take it as gospel!" :post-4-1090547912:

"According to recruits who spoke to Saban yesterday, he was surprised and miffed by the move himself. This would suggest that Bama WAS NOT afforded the opportunity to match UT's offer, and that the negotiations were done in a shady, secretive manner--instead of the above board, usual "ask for permission to speak with your assistant" protocol." :post-4-1090547912:

"it's looking more and more like this whole deal was a little shady on Kiffin's end. Of course having a shady, secretive HC at UT is par for the course for you guys."

"Most of those early reports were wrong. Here is the jist of the real story. Apart from how UT backdoor orchestrated the deal or what the real reason or family situation is, this report just plainly says he abruptly quit at Bama."

"I've asked him to butt out, and that goes for any other UT fans who want to defend their school's actions with half-baked internet rumors. And I mean that..."

I just think it is typical for them..... They have approx 30 pages of hammering Kiffin, UT and CLT yet they do the same thing to Auburn 1 week later...... AND THEY ARE LOVING IT!!!
