BM has said Lashlee will probably be a HC somewhere in the future, and Craig may be promoted to OC.
I remember something very similar being said not too long ago...half of the prediction became true

Maybe but I just cant see it anytime soon. He really hasn't proven anything yet.

I honestly have no idea, but people who now more about coaching than me have said Craig is definitely a more knowledgable and better coach than Trooper

We've been hard on Roc trying to get a commit from him and still haven't been able to. It's pretty obvious to me that he wants to play at Bama, so he's waiting them out. Bama will go as far as they can with Fournette, but eventually they'll come back to Roc and he'll accept.

With that said I wouldn't be surprised if he commits to us sometime this summer out of pure frustration with Bama then flips to Bama sometime before NSD

and yes the Fournette to Bama melt would be awesome

I've got no problem with Bama getting Fournette.

(1) You KNOW with their running game, they're going to get a top-notch running back.

(2) All of those top-notch running backs, when they end up moving up to the starting position, produce similar results.

So (3) no matter what top RB recruit they get, they're going to have a RB that produces like Ingram/Richardson/Lacy because they're going to pound that rock behind a physical OL that the SEC referees allow a free hand.

So good... let them get Fournette or any of their other top targets.

We'll take the Roc,

The problem here is if we get a Corey Grant situation going on, where Saban brings him in as a DB just to keep him from going to AU.

2015 outside linebacker Jeff Holland, rated the #1 OLB of 2015 by 247Sports, was recently offered by Auburn. He is the nephew of former Auburn basketball player Carey Holland.

The name is scary.

He hails from the same school as Kevin Tolliver II.

And he's black. No relation to Jake so no worries.

Houston Texans?@HoustonTexans Read: Ben Tate getting opportunity with Arian Foster injury (via @NickScurfield): LINK #Texans

Since Running Backs are the TTotW (thread topic of the Week). I think Ben Tate and Arian Foster are good arguments to the,"Saban RB's are NFL Ready".

People laughed when Tate said he was better than Ingram but Tate's had a better career even as a back-up. Also, both Tate and Foster were drafted late but through hard work and on field production they've been rewarded more than guys drafted ahead of them

I said all of this to say it's about more than going to a certain school or playing for a specific coach. Hardwork will get you much further than any system or process

As a Saints fan I'll say this: Ingram is playing for the wrong team. Out offense is not set up for a back who will get you 4 yards and a cloud of AstroTurf.

Tate went in the second round as I recall. Not exactly what I would consider "late," but your point stands.
