Gene I think he did that at Byrnes request to keep the hire completely under wraps.

I don't understand that. That should be a deal breaker for a coach who cares about his players

Even if the new job is going to triple his salary? I’d do it. I’m sure he had (or has) a return trip to Buffalo. He can address the team then. It’s not ideal, but no one in their right mind would call that a deal breaker.

I honestly don't give two shits if he told Buffalo or not. Welcome to Bama.

It's not like we hired a coach with a show cause or something like that

I guess I don't understand why one the deal was made, they had to keep it do under wraps they couldn't at least talk to the team

Idk, it seems weird to me but it's whatever

Spending vacation with a recruit. Better than a Harbaugh sleepover

We are paying for him to return to Buffalo up to 4 times until he has completely moved everything to Alabama.

DJ’s finalists in the November 2016 signing period were Notre Dame and Alabama. No idea if the new UA staff has interest, or (with John Petty planning to return and some other variables) where the numbers stand

Bama needs immediate help in several areas. I hope we get transfers who can play right now. We are going to be woefully short in our big men numbers. Even if we do get Watford he is more of a 3 in college and not a true 4.
