re: Do we really want Saban?

So if you're looking for a car to take you down the road 250k miles, why buy a car with 175k miles on it? We need to look to the future, not the present or we'll be reliving this nightmare in 3 or 4 years.
I had not heard of the Bama or aTm coach before they were hired. What rock did they crawl out from?

Geez. So does the library, bookstore and Union. It's a University.
Tell me who. I can keep a secret - it's the people I tell that can't.

I think in his heart LSU is always his number 1. That would be the reason if any he would have one last stop


That is a bridge he crossed so many years ago he doesn't even remember the river. Is it because we have so little self esteem that we fantasize self importance when there isn't any?

In the real world you don't get if you don't pay. Not talking about your job as a
"plug and play" plumber. There are fewer top notch football coaches in the country than there are competent people that could be President. And they call the shots on what they demand. Otherwise you end up with a plumber running a football program.

You don't want a carpenter to get involved in your cancer treatment. He's way off the reservation and doesn't speak Indian.

Because they're two different people.

Hindsight and 20-20 you know. I can't imagine why BK wandered off the Dedication Reservation, but at the time he was hired, it wasn't an unreasonable selection considering who was in the pool. Sure we had the table set for a Red Snapper and ended up catching an Alligator Gar, but perfection only happens in people's imagination and fantasies, not real life.

Well then who do you football gurus suggest?


You know what we need? Maybe a coaches board where we could discuss every possible candidate. With different categories too. That'd be neat.

Why do people think their opinion about a person they’ve never met, about a job that may or may not be offered, is absolute fact.


Cause it's what we do. Don't be obtuse.
May have been an AD trap. Scott already had the green light to fire the HC and to push Kelly where he wouldn't go and then pull the trigger and go for insubordination. Just saying.

Still having wet dreams? Grow up.

Will the next AD rehire Will Wade?


Just what we need - a stupid cheater that can't hide his corruption.

Good thing we fired will Wade to save the football program


It's all about the money. We have a hard time putting the money at stake into normal people comprehension.
The only way I can deal with this trainwreck is to DVR the game in case of a miracle. I'll watch tomorrow. Tune into the World Series and I don't even like MLB but it's better than this frustration.
Buying a 2x4 at Home Depot in Indy, I heard LSU will hire Dabo because his name is easy to pronounce.
