After talking to Alabama people, I think whoever gets that job owes Bruce Pearl a cut. His hiring at Auburn is pushing Alabama. Things might

what I'm told. Repelling those boarders is quite impressive.

What about Larry Brown?

Sponsorship from Depend on the horizon

Well hopefully Archie isn't pissed because of Bama's courting of Marshall and is open to listening to an offer

Freaking insiders.

I am so iffy on Drew because he is a terrible X and O's guy, but Baylor was the definition of a dumpster fire when he took it over. The issue is that Alabama doesn't have the talent instate that Texas has.

My list is:
1. Archie Miller
2. Shaka

I usually am first to rip someone who claims inside status...but there was such a universal consistency among all of them that we'd land Marshall that I have to believe they were telling the truth.

Marshall obviously played us like a fiddle from the very start.

And why is Jacobson at No. Iowa getting NO play??
