How about a couple of verbal commitments from top prospects?

um i seriously doubt if we get plowed that we get any commits after this game..

Might lose a few commits. Kids committ to LSU to play for championships this decade.

Go play in traffic dumbass. You think kids will decommit/go somewhere else because we lose to UGA and FLA in a rebuilding year?!

This year is shapping up to mirror 2005... I feel a 5 game winning streak coming on, then who knows. We'll finish strong, have our best recruiting class ever, have a strong year next year, then a championship in 2010. Mark it down on your caledar!!!

As much as I hate to say it, this year is not going to help us in the "Les is winning with Saban's players" argument

Even though it's complete bullshite, you know how it goes....

when you lose the only shred of experience and developed talent you hve at QB you are not going to be a great football team, we are good in fact we are pretty damn good but we arent great. maybe not even next year will be our big year again but i can guarantee the QB situation will be totally handled by 2010

I know, and I agree. However, this will not serve to ward off the gumps.

When defensive recruits (and offensive guys for that matter) watch our D play then watch Saban's D play, it really worries me.


Its very obvious who has the better coach, and its not even remotely close.

There's no way we are going to hire a new DC with only 5 games left this year.

Look- I am as worried about recruits as the next guy. But the reality is, most of the big time prospects are going to take all their visits and will not decide until later this year or early into next year.

By then some of the bad taste of the UGA and UF losses will have worn off, especially if we can finish the season strong.

But yes- Miles it appears will HAVE to make a change at DC after the season. If he doesn't- then we're in serious, serious trouble.

Saban does not run the same D he ran in 2001. Go look at bama 'sD right now. How many times has a team run for 100 yards on them this year? In only his SECOND YEAR with bama.

If you think Miles and his Co DCs are even close to Saban's D, let me know and will not bother responding to you anymore.

I cant help you.

Co Defensive coordinators is not the answer. The real issue for me is leadership on the field. Name the offensive leader, name the defensive leader. Last yeare we had Glen D. and Matt and Jacob. Who is filling these roles? We need leadership on all fronts.

Shep will come in a definitely fill that role on offense. Randle could also come in and be a leader as well.

Maybe McFarland, Davenport, or Loston will eventually step up and be leaders on D


Although I still think we should hire a big-shot aggressive DC who knows how to utilize talent to disguise blitz packages and manage defensive schemes better. Our Co-DCs are suited best to be position coaches and that's it.

With bad, there can sometimes come good. Sometimes the kids will want to commit bc they might think that they could help out and come in and play early.
