re: Is it time to give Womack an extension?

What's the point in giving coordinators extensions? They are just going to leave if the right school comes calling with a head coaching job. So, just make it a year to year contract with a built in renewal clause with increased compensation.
To keep him from taking a HC job at a place like Wake Forrest, Houston, Syracuse, etc. Obviously an extension will never prevent him from taking a job at a big SEC/B1G school.

re: Who would you rather have Grubb or Bob
Posted by BamaDude06 on 9/13/26 at 12:12 am to SoFla Tideroller
Grubb is absolutely frustrating when he's trying to show everyone he's the smartest guy out there..but comparing him to Dave Rader/Mike Shula is beyond laughable. We scored 80 total points vs 5 SEC teams/Texas Tech after the Florida win in 2005. 8. 0. points. And 14 of those were from defensive touchdowns.

We are apparently also somewhat hamstrung with the deal UA made with Learfield regarding patch money. I don’t know the details or who made that deal but I keep hearing this. Fact is, we may possibly be legally hamstrung by that.
One thing to remember was we were the first to sign a deal like that. It was lauded as forward thinking. However as we've come to find out over and over in this new era are rules keep changing. Remember that was Saban's complaint with Jimbo and A&M. They interpreted the rules one way, and Alabama another way. Nothing is cut or dry, black or white anymore. It changes seemingly daily and now if you don't like the change you file a lawsuit. Rinse and repeat.
re: any thoughts on SEC/LSU ?
Posted by BamaDude06 on 9/9/26 at 1:17 pm to Kerrygold
At this point it's beyond LSU. This is the SEC saying once and for all "You aren't forced to be here. You choose to be here. And if you don't like the rules we as a collective group voted on there's the door."
IMO The vote will happen regardless because the SEC wants to prove a point. Now do I think LSU will be expelled? No. They will say whatever the SEC wants them to say to stay a member, maybe pay a fine or serve some sort os suspension. But the precedent will be set.

This isn’t on Murphy. You can blame pretty much every other year on him(2021 specifically) but he built an elite team this year with an actual really good offense. Everything was going our way and our LF fricked it.
HE PLAYED HER IN GAME 2!! It's one thing to make a mistake off of effort. She made ZERO effort on that play. You have to take a stand on that as a coach. Period.

I went there in '06 when LSU got slaughtered by UCLA. I didn't enjoy the game but I didn't think it was a bad venue.
That was back when they were still putting the court on one side of the stadium and attendance was around 40,000. They started putting the court at midfield and filling the stadiums back in 2009. It's 70,000 plus now.
re: Alabama Gymnastics 2026
Posted by BamaDude06 on 4/5/26 at 1:46 am to mrbroker
Utah had a 197.5 and UCLA a 197.450 to lead the second session. Just have to outscore one of them. Consider we spent much of the season ranked in the top 5 not getting to the NCAAs will be a big disappointment.

I think it’s funny people think in 2026 that these major sports leagues are mostly dependent on ticket sales.
Baseball is largely dependent on regional sports networks which have collapsed in the last few years. A Louisiana team is just not going to get anywhere close to what most of the other teams do for their broadcasting rights.

Now that conference winner/automatic bids nonsense has been done away with after one year (that would have allowed 8-4 Duke a playoff spot if they'd won,) there truly is no reason for conference title games. ESPN will try to milk every penny out of it until SEC teams say enough is enough, so who knows when that will be.
It's still the 5 highest ranked conference champions that get automatic bids. They just did away with the top 4 seeds having to be champions.

I can kind of get him bitching about "They tore one of our girl's jersey and didn't get called for a foul for it" during his in game interview...but the fact he was still harping on that in his post game pressor after the girl admitted she had ripped it herself out of frustration....come on man.

Both of those programs have way more historical success and are consistently in the top 10. Women's basketball does not have that established success to have long-term fans.
That. I played in basketball pep band for a couple of seasons between 07-10 and there were a couple of games where the pep band (~30). had more people in it than there were fans in the stands. Maybe we need to go old school gymnastics for a few years and just hand out tickets to school kids just to get more butts in seats for a couple of years.

Because he was gone. Why would I include that? The Braves had (correctly) made the decision to move on before he received votes. He's not going to be worth that 8 year contract.
Again we can all blame AA until the cows come home but they are a publicly traded company. They will never spend what other teams are spending no matter who the GM is. Period. And the minute attendance goes down (which is probably going to happen this year with how much they raised season ticket prices this year combined with fan frustration over them not improving the roster) they will absolutely use it as an excuse to try and shed salary.

He's let an MVP 1B, gold glove SS, perennial top 3 Cy Young pitcher all walk in FA and traded away two franchise catchers in their pre-arb years... all within the last 5 years.
Max Fried received Cy Young votes in 2020 and 2022. That's it as a Brave. He was great for the Braves but he's not going to live up to that contract. Neither is Dansby for that matter. He's got a strict budget to stick to and either of those would have caused major damage to that.
Y'all have to let Freddie go man. Chipper told him if he was serious about staying in Atlanta he should take the Braves offer because if he went to free agency he wouldn't come back. Also warned him "Alex has a job to do" saying he wasn't going to wait around forever. If he waits until Freddie signs with LA to get Matt then the cost goes up even higher than it was.
Now you CAN fault him for doing nothing to try and shore up the rotation this year given all the injuries they had last year.
