@ginojoubertTSW: So if Burns leaves Alabama, how will that affect recruiting for Alabama and for LSU?


Gino tweets this tonight. Anybody know if he is leaving? I think this could help us a lot with Fournette.

If Burton Burns goes to FSU then Bama pull in New Orleans is crippled a good bit. He was their in being a St. Aug alum.

Bigger question is why would Burns leave Bama for a job thats beneath the one he already holds. What does he know?

well, considering burns is lowest paid coach on bama's staff, i am sure that makes his decision easy.

Jimmy smith from Nola said awhile ago in his chat that Burns was leaving after the season.

I am pretty sure Burns has money outside of football so pay is not a problem.

If Frank does get a call, and LSU were to let him go, I would flip shite. Won't happen, but still.

If Burns/Saban only real pull of out La in 5 years was LC, a kid who simply wanted to leave, I feel confident that Burns/Fisher combo at FSU will be pretty incapable of pulling guys unless maybe 1 kid just grew up infatuated with FSU.

This is a good thing IMO.

I think burns at FSU is better than anywhere else for us other than LSU.

Sure wish I could see frank as the HC here one day with burns on staff.
