Think outside the box or make stuff up? Unless you have sources that have spoken to you about this you are wildly speculating

Also your basis that Rhodes will be here long term is... that he will replace another coach who will have left after a short tenure


You have a horrible mindset, you don't hire coaches based on how long you think they will stay. You hire the best person for the job. You don't think coaches around the country take notice of Bert getting all of these other coaches promoted?

In all honesty,

Anyone not happy about this or that our coaches get recruited for promotions are idiots.

Pittman was what it was. UGA is on the ups and a more prestigious program. Plus he went with his fat frick buddy.

Pre-emptively calling something a bad hire because they might leave for a promotion is ludicrous.

Coaches who hire other coaches to complete their staff based on the fact they want them to stay for 5 years are coaching at Tulsa, Memphis, SMU, or Troy.

You Koolaid chuggers need to put down the glass. I didn't say he was a bad coach or bad hire. I just am tired of our assistants constantly leaving

I see a lot of turnover in the industry I'm in. People move around to make a few extra bucks all the time. Good for them. I don't blame them one bit. It's the only way to move up sometimes

However from the company perspective, it is the people that actually stay in one place for more than five minutes that actually bring value. Every hot new fresh face is cheered and we roll out the red carpet. But who really cares if they don't produce anything that lasts

I don't see a coach taking two months to find the bathroom and several months establishing connections, etc as a good investment for us. It's a good investment in their careers for them to grow.

Meanwhile we just turn around and retrain someone else the next year. What's the point in hiring good or bad people if by the time we see their results (which actually takes more than a year), they are updating their CV?

Why do we always hear "so and so QB was under 5 OCs in 5 years" as an excuse for poor play? Does anyone ever say "so and so QB was under 5 OCs in 5 years, but each OC became a HC so this kid is good as a result"

In a perfect world, how long should our football assistant coaches be at Arkansas before moving to greener pastures?

probably don't want a coach on long term if it takes him two months just to find the bathroom.

Hey hiring Enos turned out pretty good so I like getting another big name HC on staff. Broyles hallmark was having lots of great assistants so I don't see what's not to like bringing in Rhoads

Non compete clause as well, but only for the same position. He can go wherever he wants if it's DC or head coach.

I give him 1 maybe 2 years before he goes somewhere as a DC, hopefully outside the SEC.

I also wouldn't be surprised if he becomes our DC in a scenario that Smith gets canned or leaves.

CBB has been really good at replacing good assistant coaches with other good assistant coaches.

I think it would help recruiting if our avg assistant coach tenure would increase some going forward though.

During their run, bama has had average offenses and dominate defenses. Saban figured out a way to keep Smart for 9 years before he took a promotion. CBB should be able to do better than 2-3 years on his good ones.


He's never been able to keep assistant coaches, even the ones he wanted to keep. Is it still Alvarez' fault?

He's only been here 3 years and only lost one assistant he really tried to keep.

Pittman liked Chaney's tender loving to much to stay. Need more time to fully evaluate Bert's ability to retain assistants he really wants to keep.

Alabama hasn't had an average offense since 2011, and even up until then they still had very good O-lines, stout RBs in Ingram and Richardson, and Julio Jones. Their QB play was just really, really average.
