re: WTF is PSU doing?

James Franklin would have been fired after his second year at Bama if his trajectory was the same as it was at PSU.
Yeah but it's wrong. It's bad. It breaks college football.

Hot take for now, but won't be in 10 years: Bama is going to struggle to adapt to unrestricted NIL, more than several other SEC teams.
Strongly disagree that our roster sucks, and you're putting on blinders. At a certain point, coaching matters. The talent is there on both sides of the ball, and frankly, the Underwood flip hurt more than people realized.

Austin's main job is getting, organizing, and allocating money. He's not solely or even primarily responsible for recruiting.

But even if he were, you're ignoring our vastly improved defense, including likely top 15 pick and transfer Delane.

Lane fricked too many brides in Alabama to be allowed back.

Wait did I say brides...meant bridges.
Our NIL efforts before and after Thomas are night and day.

As was Ole Miss'.

He's the biggest loss, by far, of our coaching cycle. He was damn good at his job.

(Side note: I'm not sure Lane actually has the authority to fire Austin Thomas.)

Heupel is the only one that makes any sense there. Dabo would be the end of Alabama as a powerhouse he can't adapt to NIL and they need someone who can.

Texas to Alabama is not a lateral move. It's a step down job wise.

Lanning isn't leaving Nike money in Oregon.
Why didn't they go after him the Napier year?
That Sumrall coaches at least 1 game for UF. You said there's a real chance he won't. That's an insane proposition. I'll even give you odds, if you want.
So if Ole Miss was right to force Lane out because he might have done what people like Sumrall are actually doing...people are just mad at Lane for agreeing to another job for next year?

Was he expected to stay at Ole Miss forever, or just wait until after the CFP and choose whatever job is left?
I think it’s wrong for the media to be attacking Lane. I think it's unreasonable to say he should not have considered another job for next year, particularly if it was by all accounts his dream job. So what should he have done differently? If he didn't fight to coach his Ole Miss team, it'd be even worse.

If Ole Miss let him stay, there was a risk that he'd be doing what Sumrall is doing, but Ole Miss would have their entire coaching staff in place. Ole Miss told him to get out, and so he had to start working for his new employer. It just feels like people want someone to blame when this is a situation where both sides acted pretty reasonably, even though I personally don’t think Ole Miss made the right call.
I'm fine with Ole Miss doing what they did. As long as it doesn't become a game where one side has to be wrong. Ole Miss upended how coaching searches have worked. Maybe it was due to be upended. But we've been screaming and crying and begging for mercy because of what Lane might have done, when you have coaches literally doing that and there's not a peep.
That's because Feinbaum and Pate showed their asses by insisting that Lane wasn't gonna leave.
Even Sark didn’t get dragged like this even though he left for USC the same day he said he wasn’t leaving Washington.
As we are all consistent and principled people, I expect us to aim our pitchforks accordingly.
fake report that media didnt vet before running with it

We never had a real reason to hate Saban. He’s done a lot for us tbh and continues to do so

Good. Burn that dump to the ground.
