He was the number one player in his class. Went to college early. I think we will get a different more physically ready guy than A&M saw.
Nice!

I know you can’t have too much talent at those positions.

Can we really say Nolan demonstrated greed over anything? I dont think its greedy going to the highest bidder. This is what college football made. Cant blame him.



I'm not casting anything upon his character because I don't know the young man, so understand that before I say anything...


The NFL got plenty of players looking to make the most money they can in the shortest amount of time possible. The league incentivizes that mindset to some degree. The NFL stands for Not For Long to most who play in it.

The thing that separates the mature NFL players from the ones who flame out is whether they let the money affect their performance. Titans cut a guy this week who was pouting over a lack of a long term contract. He wasn't performing on gamedays and now he's out of a job with a black mark on his resume to boot.

The system is set up for Nolan to encourage a bidding war. That's all well and good but he better show up to wherever won the contest with a coachable and team-focused attitude. I don't care if Alabama's boosters pony up millions for him. I care a lot more about him being productive on Saturdays.

Why do I get the feeling that everyone doesn’t respect Walter Nolen? lol

I don’t know if I’ve read anyone truly liking him. He’s incredibly overrated as well.

Well it seems like his dad runs the operation and maybe trying to enrich himself a bit while he’s at it.

Yall stop that.

I specifically did not refer to him.

I don’t know if he has the focus to play for Bama.

My point is having the TALENT to play for Saban doesn’t mean someone has the DRIVE to play for Saban.

In this era talent can’t be the only factor. It has to be culture fit because one guy putting in 75% effort getting a $1M NIL package is going to sabotage the morale of the guys around him not getting $1M and being held to account for their effort.

Probably because almost everyone in this thread is calling him "NolAn"

Mike Griffith


More like Dell Griffith:

You know everything is not an anecdote. You have to discriminate. You choose things that are funny or mildly amusing or interesting. You're a miracle! Your stories have NONE of that. They're not even amusing ACCIDENTALLY! "Honey, I'd like you to meet Del Griffith, he's got some amusing anecodotes for you. Oh and here's a gun so you can blow your brains out. You'll thank me for it." I could tolerate any insurance seminar. For days I could sit there and listen to them go on and on with a big smile on my face. They'd say, "How can you stand it?" I'd say, "'Cause I've been with Del Griffith. I can take ANYTHING." You know what they'd say? They'd say, "I know what you mean. The shower curtain ring guy. Woah." It's like going on a date with a Chatty Cathy doll. I expect you have a little string on your chest, you know, that I pull out and have to snap back. Except I wouldn't pull it out and snap it back - you would. Agh! Agh! Agh! Agh! And by the way, you know, when you're telling these little stories? Here's a good idea - have a POINT. It makes it SO much more interesting for the listener!

I was running errands at lunchtime and heard Mike Griffith from DawgNation on WJOX. The level of homerism was notable.

Dude is awful. I don’t know why Jox insists on having him on other than he can probably stir up callers. The guy is really nothing more than a fan. He loathes Saban, as well.

Looks like Florida is all in on Jadan Baugh. They absolutely need a RB. I really hope Alabama can still swing Riley and Baugh.
