Also, if dabo is going anywhere, it would be back to Alabama in a couple years after Saban retires. Would make more sense for everyone involved.

No it would not make sense, you really think he wants to immediately follow the greatest college football coach in history. You follow the post Saban hire after Alabama runs him off for having 10-2 seasons.

That’s still 7 hours away from his job, on a weekday, when OU had a game to prepare for. He isn’t a high school coach who can get a sub to teach his PE class for the day lol

So in this thread alone, we have the following:

- A poster who is insistent that Riley was in Baton Rouge last week and met with multiple people in the athletics department.

- A poster who is convinced that Woodward did not terminate Orgeron without a coach already in place, with that coach specifically being Dabo Swinney according to their sources.

- A poster claiming their own sources saying that Riley and Dabo are the top two targets, but that Jimbo isn't even in the top 4 despite Vol saying he was a legit backup option.

Everyone’s eyes have been West (Fisher/Riley) and it’s been Dabo all along

I can totally see it

Such a specific statement you’ve given but can you tell us times when he has been right supported by posts before it came to fruition?

the way to court the CC board is...patiently - you leave a nugget and then walk away...your post will be eviscerated.

then, much later on, if it proves to be true you will gain credibility and you can post more insider tidbits....and still be eviscerated.

But hey, you can say you can say you were right about that last one ;)

Why on earth would Dabo leave Clemson? Their offense sucks this year, but the D is still legit and he’s still recruiting at elite levels. They had an unreal 10 year run where they had 3 starting QBs. They were bound to eventually miss on one. On top of that he’s making $9 million a year till 2028.

Why would he leave all of that and start all over?

don’t see how this is possible. It’s at least a 2 hour flight


Wrong. It was through a charter company out of Omaha (Jet Linx) and the total flight time was 1 hour and 16 minutes each way.

Thursdays are light days Riley got in fairly early in the morning and was back at the OU airport by 1:27 for practice.

1. Riley
2. Dabo
3. Napier
4. Franklin

Riley and Dabo honestly seem unrealistic even for the money they're offering. I can see why some are not excited for Dabo but you need to look that hire objectively. Even if he's another CEO hire he's way better than an Orgeron/Miles CEO hire. He would be a homerun in a different way than Riley.

Really?

Everyone stop listening to this guy, because this is what he posted about Eds future

If he beats Florida all is forgiven...

He doesnt know anything. Go to the recruiting board, he gets called out for misinformation over there. Like Korey Foreman.

He also asked this, THE DAY Pelini was fired. He doesnt have any insider info
quote:

Also another question I would ask is what’s going on with the Pelini situation. That’s gotta be the top question right now.

He doesnt even know who Ponamsky is

Ponamsky

Who?

He said this about Ensminger
quote:

I hear everyone saying he’s gone/retiring.

I haven’t heard one report else where though about this. Maybe someone can link me or let me know. But are we 100 percent certain He’s retiring?

He spends most of his posts on SEC Rant or Saints talk. He doesnt know anything. He just wants attention.

Interesting if true

Totally lines up with the timing of all the Jimbo chatter heating up as cover

So you are saying, for certain, that Lincoln Riley was in BTR last Thursday?

So the head coach of a major college football team strolled into the office at 1:30 on a Thursday and no one had any questions about that?

His boss wasn’t wondering why he took half a day during the middle of a potential championship run to go to Baton Rouge?

Can I just say this. I share this account with someone, which Since you dig through history you would know I have said that.


And would you provide a link of somewhat where I lied to people on the recruiting board about information? Just so I can clear the air.

I said later that Dabo is number 2 from what the source is telling me. He said he could be wrong


So, your source is speculating about #2?

Is he also speculating about #1?

I refuse to believe Napier is in the top 4 but Aranda isn't. Sorry not buying it.

Do you think coaches making moves totally surprise their ADs?
