I'd be okay with Chad Morris. We could trade Clemson Cristobal and a coach to be named later for him.

I think I'd rather see Bama try picking up coach with potential from D2 or D3 as OC over Kiffin.
Anyone? Even Charlie Weis and his decided schematic advantage?
He rode whatever talent they gathered up at Notre Dame for awhile.
But him riding on anything will usually result in the death of it.
Offensive coordinator Kyle Flood and Bama to replace the names on their jersey with F.A.M.I.L.Y.

that'd be different alright...
What you're doing here, I see it. I wonder if this phrase could also be applied to Petrino.
What could go wrong?
Just rewatched part of the MNC with the coaches all talking. It is amazing to me that all of them thought Jimbo messed up not calling a TO to prevent the delay of game. Why would you do that. They had 1 TO. If you do that and then the pass on 3rd down doesn't get out of bounds or to the first down marker you are pretty much fucked. You have to save the TO just like Jimbo did. Further proof that very few college coaches understand how to use TOs and that sometimes it is worth giving up 5 yards to save a TO.
As much as Saban makes his assistant's work, I can't imagine one of them commuting from Birmingham to Tuscaloosa every day.
I don't want to defend anything Kiffikens, but Probation and scholarships handcuffed him, same way with Mike Shula.
Looks like Clemson's old DC, the one Saban hired and let him stay in a cubicle for awhile, Kevin Steele, will be DC at Louisville.
Branduil: Any Coordinator is going to be making less than a large college HC. Stop being a statist.

Try actually beating us before making such a silly statement.
Insecure perfectly describes your fans when they make the trip to Autzen. Or maybe delusional is a better word... Even your locals are turning their back on UDUB

Remember, folks - football didn't exist until '94.
I'd be pretty insecure too if I had to worry about people throwing urine and batteries at me while I'm trying to watch a football game.
There are plenty of bandwagon Oregon fans here and all over the West Coast, not surprising. But 1) he didn't go to UW, and 2) these bandwagoners are clearly all there for the Nike fashion, not for winning football.
Or maybe they're just obsessed with UW, and replay a game from 20 years ago every weekend instead of celebrating what's actually going on in that game.

.@LanternSports: Multiple reports indicate that OSU defensive line coach coach Mike Vrabel is leaving the Buckeyes to coach at the Houston Texans.
Fuuuuuuuuck, probably best recruiter on our staff

.@marcushartman: I've also confirmed an announcement is coming tonight regarding Braxton Miller's intentions for next year
I think Franklin is a really good coach. Why the fuck would you want that scrub Golden over him?
That man deserves a literary award for that masterpiece.

lol at that piece. And I guess I just am not too familiar with him since he's from the SEC. Golden seemed like a college coach for life without NFL aspirations. I don't know much about Franklin but I guess that's what it was with O'Brien.
I'll be there on the season opener no matter what though

Is this going to have any sort of effect on any incoming recruits? I don't really follow recruiting at all.

It shouldnt, but Vrabel was a big name NFL guy who was young. Wont be hard to find a replacement for the position coaching but the recruiting.
Still at the end of the day Urban sells the school more than any other coach so.
I love this month of recruiting, everything goes so crazy. There was the Zaycoven Henderson stuff on Wednesday and then yesterday we stole a CB recruit from Miami that nobody really realized we were still even in on. Last season in January we went from not even realizing our coaching staff was recruiting the state of Georgia very hard to grabbing 4 high school commits + a JUCO guy originally from the state. In addition to what Tech has already seen this season you have Texas with a new coaching staff so who knows what's going to happen there.
I know a lot of people here don't really follow recruiting very much but for me the recruiting rush in January (plus NFL playoffs, of course) is a nice way to cushion the blow of the season being over.

With his tackling on kickoff returns, I'm surprised he didn't get moved to Safety. I guess height was the issue.
There's been that Tabor mess. 5 star CB, committed to Florida, then Florida sucked so he backed out, chose Arizona over Alabama a couple days ago, now enrolled back in Florida.
Safety we were relatively fine at coming INTO the season. Moving him mid-season would have had him running into the whole "learning the complicated defense" issue that kept a lot of our DBs off the field.
Learning the complicated defense, I hear that issue mentioned a lot at Georgia as well. Since Grantham is a Saban disciple, I wonder if we experience the same issues. Some were saying this last year that if his defense is so complicated and his players so young, maybe he needed to simplify it.
Weirdest comeback of all time.
Or, in this new age of HUNH, where the point of teams is to try to make your defense irrelevant, complicated defenses and specialized sub packages are now a detriment, instead of a plus.
Preach it, brother. So many times this year, especially earlier in the year, you'd see the secondary or line watching the sideline to see what the new call was, and sometimes they weren't even set or didn't know the alignment prior to snap. I think they may have simplified the checks later in the year, though Grantham denied that it needed to be done, said the calls were fine and that the freshmen were getting them and just needed to execute the plays.
At the end of the day, lining up and knowing what you're doing is better than going up against a hurry up offense, then having to look to the sideline to see if the call changed, then running through your head what you're now supposed to do. Just set the defense and let them try to execute their assignments. When you have upperclassmen that understand the playbook inside and out, you can change the defense more.
Some UGA players now in the pros said that Grantham's playbook was much more complicated than what they're doing in the pros. He really needs to simplify this offseason.
