As far as what it means for the program, it doesn't mean anything other than boosters having to spend money they haven't had to spend for the last 20 years thanks to Saban if we have to fire him in a year or two.

As far as what it represents, it's just another sign of how we got to this shitty, fricked up version of college athletics that currently exists. Who the frick else gets a 20% raise every 2 years for not doing a bad job?

The buyout is what he owes us if he decides to leave. If we fire him without cause, we owe him 90% of the remaining contract with no reduction if he gets another job.

He’s not going anywhere anytime soon unless the siren song of the NFL is too strong.

Alfie's scene in Season 2 where he tells Ollie to take off his apron and go sit in the corner is still one of my favorites.


Alfie is one of my favorite characters. He’s just great man. There is very little that Hardy doesn’t do well. He’s a phenomenal actor.

We are seemingly spending the bulk of NIL on high school recruits. If we can retain those guys it works out. But if the cut out after a year or two, it leaves us cooked.

So far DeBoer has done a great job of retaining guys he brought in.

Signed a top 3 class last year with two QBs who were not expensive.

Signing the top QB this year is a great thing if we can pull it off. It’s the most important position in football

Would be absolutely huge for DeBoer.

Russell starting in 2026 and has a superstar 2027 season...goes in the 2028 draft and Haven slides under center for the 2028 season and has his own superstar season in 2029 before hitting the 2030 NFL Draft.

Looks good on paper at least lol.

Ideally yes. Though I wouldn't count out Thomalla if he sticks around. He'll be a redshirt sophomore with 2 years in the system at that point.

Between Haven to Bama and Mendoza to my Raiders I’ve never had a better QB weekend in my life.
