I took a lot of flak sticking up for you yesterday, and you're gonna lay that clear troll post in my thread that I'm attempting to keep civil for the sake of conversation ?

Cmon man. Edit or delete that before you hijack the thread

I was team Kiffin and while I do believe that DeBoer is potentially a better long term coach, I don’t think you see this kind of turnover with a known commodity among the SEC. DeBoer is basically starting from scratch.


Exactly. Thank you.

Which is precisely why I said Kiffin was the "safest" hire.

Caleb Downs leaving for UGA is like Ronald Acuna just packing up and going to play for the Dodgers.

This probably could have been prevented.

Are you serious, or messing with the jryan guy ? I haven't heard that, but if it's true that's inexcusable.

I can promise everyone here Kiffin first call after setting up some coed to pick him up at the airport would have been to TRob.

There's equal likelihood that Kiffin brings Golding back with him as DC if he's hired as there is that he promotes TRob. Think about it.

Kiffin knows our fanbase better than that. He woulda left that goober in Mississippi.

Kiffin also knows exactly how good a DB coach and recruiter TRob is, and anyone on Earth would have known to at least keep Caleb Downs position coach & recruiter.

I pray this isn’t true. I fear it probably is.

Too many remember the time before unlimited transfer portal.

If you are a true top program you go for the best coach. Let him develop the team.

I've pulled for bama with every coach we've had and never advocated firing any coach.

I let those that were close enough to grade him properly, decide if change is needed.
Besides the Righteous brother years "if you don't know them lucky for you" I think we've done well.

Unfortunately true, actually the main guy Saban recommended. I don't think I have seen anything about Saban talking about TRob in that fashion unfortunately. Think he recommend Roach. I could be wrong but I don't think Saban trust you much if you don't commit to match up zone.

I don’t know man. He has other people contacting the players and he’s emailing their parents. He didn’t call TRob until after UGA hired him that’s lazy when it comes to player management and recruiting. I won’t say anything else about it in this thread though.

I'm not disagreeing with you on TRob as a DB coach and recruiter. Although I'll add the caveat that having Saban as the head coach and probably the best DB coach of all time as a safety net helped TRob prosper. But the only way DeBoer or Kiffin could have kept TRob would be to promote him to DC. And he's been an average at best DC in his career.

That guy was out the door double quick when Kirby called. He has no loyalty to Bama nor should he really....he didn't need any enticement. He is just one guy.....frick him.

Geez man, what a cluster. There was speculation going back to last year that Roach was on the hot seat, and for good reason. The DL has flat out underperformed.

Meanwhile TRob produces the top 2 CBs in the country, and is best friends with the best player on the team who happens to be a future unanimous AA.

This doesn't add up. AND recommended Rees dumb arse ? No, this doesn't add up at all.

I need to process that...

TRob was his primary recruiter. They were close. Downs will likely follow him to UGA, where TRob will be his position coach.
