Siap. With all the hype around player star ratings, NIL, portal etc here are Indiana’s recruiting class rankings the last few yrs:
2026: 29th
2025: 39th
2024: 65th
2023: 69th

And yet, they just beat Ohio state and are ranked #1 in the country. Insane. Is this proof that coaching and development of players supersedes talent in CFB?

Rewatched this segment and cannot believe the stupidity coming from the rest of the panel towards Saban. Saban was explaining how it COULD have been possible for Lane to keep coaching at Ole Miss. He did it with Kirby and others

First McAfee says how other coaches left smaller schools for bigger ones

Then Herbstreit challenges him on Lane Kiffin (fair) which he also provides a reasonable answer to.

Then Rece says “well it’s different with an assistant coach leaving vs a head coach”

Finally Saban just throws up his hands in frustration bc he realizes there is no way he’s winning the argument. How about we actually listen to the only person on the panel who is considered the GOAT cfb coach and who’s actually dealt with this situation many times throughout his career instead of all the talking heads who are just armchair quarterbacks.

Besides staying home to take care of business …don’t want him to get over exposed and keep having to deal with asked and answered rehashed questions about the past and Ole miss. Time to move forward. It’s done..he’s the coach at LSU. Everyone can just deal with it.

Instant classic. Not sure CLK would even want Slidell tho. :yack:

He gonna recruit the state of LA against Kiffin and Lsu?!?

100%. Their whole stance was why would we let an LSU coach coach our players. Now they are letting Charlie Weiss Jr do it so whats the difference? Proves that their idiot AD mishandled this from the beginning.

Does that sound like something a guy who just told his coaches “get on the plane with me or else…” would do? Hell no! Some people out of oxford who were butt hurt made up that narrative and should be ashamed of themselves.

2:50 mark. This is from the guy who arguably has been closest to the situation over the last week. But Kiffin is the villain...OK.

Rebs - if you need someone to blame - look no further than your AD

quote:

---

Did Sumrall demand to coach Tulane through the playoffs and make threats if he was not allowed to do sot

---

Yet another FAKE news narrative that came out of Oxford. Who has actually verified this??

All these talking heads who keep saying "I have no issue with him taking the job" but then very next breath say "It's how and when he did it." Well, if you have no issue with him considering and taking the job, then what in the world could/should he have done?!? Those 2 statements are in direct contradiction with each other because of how the recruiting calendar works. Stop it.

If you're mad - blame the NCAA and the college football recruiting calendar.

Finebaum is the maddest.

Sad that Gumps are about to play in the Seccg and playoffs and are melting about LSU hiring Kiffin. Still not happy with DeBoer?
