That's what every recruiter at a shitty program tells better kids, and they almost never fall for it. It's a factor, but it's a factor on the margins. If you're choosing between LSU/BAMA/UGA, you might pick the one with least depth at your position--you don't choose Vanderbilt instead.

There is money changing hands.

I agree and would add that it's likely that this guy is breaking NCAA rules to get these results and we don't want to poison the program with that.

I almost agree, but who could make thia many different kids do something ridiculous for their gain?

Hull more likely found a really supportive bagman who wants KU fball to raise its status.

Speaking of circus children, i mostly only use the forum when LSU is undergoing extrene circumstances.

Why would anyone here increase their TD posting during the election? This is a reliable red state in a just as reliably red region.

Objectively speaking, as an anti-Trump person, it feels like a smack in the face when my Baton Rouge brothers from another talk crazy ish about Trump being crazy :-). Love him or hate him, acknowledge he's loco and let's move on ;-). I <3 US

Winning percentage at current school:

Meyer (92%)
Saban (86%)

Looks like you need to hail to the (real) victor in the B1G.

Typical bama fan cognitive dissonance "We don't care where Lane ends up" ... "there is no way coach Kiffin is headed to LSU."

For someone who doesn't care, you seem pretty insecure about it (2nd paragraph has a lot of rambling).

You're also on the wrong f-cking message board just so you can talk about it, so it must concern you.

If I had to guess, Kiffin takes a HC job and Sark takes Bama OC job. I hope O is also having these thoughts--we keep acting like he's playing 3d chess, but wasnt the offer to Tua a bad call? And will Sark really leave for LSU? Saban doesn't seem to get done over very often.

Gruden??? Did no one see that? Sounds like BS.

Of course, I'll keep refreshing anyway. :popcorn:

I think the Joe Alleva hate is a little misguided. He tried to give fans what they want, and what the program needs in Jimbo instead of Miles last year. Whether Jimbo turned it down or FKing and board members turned it down, it doesn't seem to be his fault.

He was in a tough situation with UF in September, it was 2 against 1, and I think he got an optimal result given the constraints. He knew he would take hits in the media but at least saved us a home game.

As for bball, I don't pay much attention to it, but it seems that the #1 recruit wasn't going to do much for any school, he probably picked LSU because he knew we would treat him like royalty, unlike at UK where they're used to players like him. He wanted to skate by and wait for the NBA, never had intentions of putting up a lot of effort for us.

The coaching situation last year certainly made Alleva look dumb, but it seems he did all he could do.

For me it just seems more complicated the more i think about it. I think his personal life is a wreck because his ex let several young dudes hit. On the other hand, how can he see he kids if his wife doesn't move to baton rouge? It seems having them around would be a key to a new start.

I still think he wants to come here, just trying to make it work.

If i knew we could have him or Herman I would just flip a coin. I think Herman might have more potential upside but is less proven, and I dont mind taking that gamble.

People get mad when I say this, but i think if we strike out on:

Jimbo
Herman
Chip Kelly


...Orgeron + an incredible OC (but who? Kiffin worries me), or Dan Mullen would be interesting picks, I'd be disappointed but could get behind those.

I used to be a Shaw and Stoops guy, I'd take them, but I don't see a ton of upside... not sure Shaw could beat Saban with that system and Stoops doesn't bring new entergy, feels like another Les.

I don't know enough about Fedora and Gundy but can't reconicle the upside vs risk.

More than anything, i think we should go after Herman hard because Chip and Jimbo would be tough, and putting UT in their place would feel so damn good.
