re: New Head Coach Thread (Welcome Coach DeBoer)

Julian Edelmann.

Kool-aid? You don't think we have more talent than Washington? They we 78th in defense.

Man our hiring has sucked the last couple years.

The Patriots fire Belicheck and have a plan in place and hire Jerod Mayo.

While we still seem lost on the dark and judging from hires we made the last couple of years (Rees, BOB, Maroney, etc).. I'm losing confidence by the minute and I can't even imagine how low the confidence of the players are.

Coaching changes in college suck the uncertainty kills you and I know from experience. Only ends well if we get the guy

Some of y’all need to take your prozac and xanax and settle the frick down. You’re losing your mind and marking Sark off the list because of some damn generic post on social media and Sark probably doesn’t even run the account. Let Byrne work. The hold up here is that fat arse mobster Sexton, slowing things down so all his clients get their name thrown out there and get a raise out of it. frick him!! If we could, I’d throw his arse off campus and tell him he was not allowed back, that’s he’s fricked up his last Bama coaching search. But that’s not realistic.

Candidates:
Sark-I’m not giving up until Sark or Deloss Dodds makes a statement that he is staying in Austin. And if he does, I hope Sexton squeezes them enough to double Sark’s salary.
DeBoer- I have followed this man’s career since he was at Fresno. The man can coach. Period! He took Penix and Odunze and some complimentary players and lit up the scoreboard like a pinball machine against everyone not named Michigan. With lesser talent. If you can’t see that, you’re blind. Recruiting should not be a problem as most of the recruiting these days is made by $$$, exposure, PT, championships, and getting to the league. Bama checks all those boxes. Hire the man. Just do it.
Kiffin- He just went 11-2 at Ole Miss and lost to a playoff team and the 2 time defending national champion that is the most loaded team in college football, both at their place. First 11 win season in school history. And he would crawl over broken glass to Tuscaloosa for the job. But we won’t hire him because he slept with a booster’s wife? You serious, Clark? Lane didn’t hold a gun to that lady’s head and force her to do it. Mr. Booster needs to place the blame where it lies, both parties were adults. Tend to your own house Mr. Booster and let’s hire Lane and roll.

Dabo- Are you crazy? He chose to die on this NIL and transfer portal hill. Good for him for making a stand, as long as he makes it at Clemson. Hard pass.

Norvell-We want to hire a guy who just had his entire team quit on him because of some adversity? And Norvell didn’t exactly take the high road either on that. Plus, the story broke last night of some serious NCAA penalties for violations within his program. That eliminates most candidates from consideration in Tuscaloosa. And Norvell rode a talented QB in a weak arse conference to an undefeated season. Good for him, it only took what? 4-5 years? And it was a flash in the pan. FSU will be very ordinary next year. Pass.

Everyone else- If we get to this point, we have screwed the pooch again on a football coach hire. Why can the greatest program in college football not get this right? It’s mainly because there’s too many voices in the room that think they are the top dog. These are some of the same people that allowed Bill Curry to be hired over Bobby Bowden. We needed to get a handle on this 30 years ago. We still do. Some things never change.

Supposedly that's what the players were told.

Not hiring Lane isn’t just sleeping with a boosters wife… look at his record against top 25 teams. Look what Kirby did this year. There’s a better candidate who has a winning record against good ball clubs… plain and simple. Also Lane coordinator hires have been suspect unless you want a few more years of Pete

we could do much worse.

You mean Kirby’s roster full of NFL starters whooped Lanes three stars? That’s wild.

what happens when 20 players hit the portal and he refuses to speak to them because he's a stubborn a-hole, then he doubles down on that decision by refusing to find replacements in the portal because he's a stubborn a-hole?

What'll happen is, he'll deflect criticism by talking about Jesus, rather than address his own shortcomings. Pretty much like Mike Dubose used to do.
