15 extra practices with mostly players who won’t be here, practicing schemes that will change next year, for coaches who will be gone.

Invaluable!

And in the past version of cfb that would have been cause for optimism.

But if you think all are back next year you are kidding yourselves.

Believe you just passing on what was told, numbers may be off a bit but I think it’s in the ballpark. They are beating the bush for money for sure to make something big.

Moffitts firing lit a fire under his complacent, lazy, stale, entitled arse and he should tithe some of his money to LSU to cover BK’s buyout in gratitude for waking him up.

These are the dumbest takes on here right now, everyone correctly wanted him fired.

Now to be fair to him he was following his head coach by example, because Orgeron was completely checked out after the title also.

Just because out of spite of being fired and the fact that a demanding coach like Elko won’t tolerate anything less than full effort and excellence he is part of a team having a good season doesn’t mean firing him here was a mistake.

There is plenty to criticize BK about without revising history with BS like this.

When he was hired.

If you mean one of the riskiest, then yes absolutely.

Saban was hardly an unknown if you closely followed football.

It was a different era and everything wasn't nationally televised or all over social media, but he was a major player. The year before we hired him he turned down the New York Giants head coaching position and had previously passed on the Colts.

He had been the head coach for 5 years at MSU and turned an 0-11 team to a 9 win season in his last year. Prior to that he was the DC of a defense that allowed the fewest points in NFL history at that time.

Comparing him at that time to someone like Sumrall is a joke.

I agree about hiring someone younger with fire (hated the Kelly hire from day 1 for that reason) but we need to aim a little higher in proven than someone like Sumrall.

And older guys can still have fire, the mistake is guaranteeing them $100m.

Saban is still being paid by Bama as an official advisor, he’s not going to help in our search.

I am sure he would have ideas but it won’t happen, the Houston Nutt thing is dumb, you never let a man pick his own successor for a reason. And I think the quote was when they asked him who to hire he simply said he had the most trouble preparing for Houston Nutt, he was out the door and didn’t give a chit who we hired.

It does appear that the only talking he does on the headset is after some disaster or boneheaded play/call.

The key to a great offense is the fullback.

Also, many scholarships for tight ends who you never throw to.

Everyone knows this.

Michigan State was 0-11 the year before they hired Saban. Getting them to 10-2 five years later was building it. Not to mention before he ever set foot here, he had two NFL head coaching offers with Giants and Colts. We both benefitted, but we didn't make the guy.

Miles was the 7-5 head coach of OK State. He inherited a built program and a roster that is almost certainly better than the one he will be leaving. Yes, we made the guy moreso than the reverse.

Archer, Hallman and yes Dinardo too were all truly horrible coaches, if we hire anyone in that vicinity of competence, then we deserve what we get. But that's negligence.
