I was all Napier. However, if Steele is wanting Briles Sr and hires some cold blooded recruiters I wouldn't hate the hire. Clark would be a failure. Brown too.

Me too. After screwing that up, I'm sure I'll be very disappointed at anyone they hire.

HC Steele

OC Briles Sr
DC Champ

I would watch next season with curiosity. We hire Clark and I resign.

ETA

Bobo is a not an option. If Steele is legit, I want AG to release his plan pre hire.

So who is the Ron guy on 247? There was a post in PM's thread saying there is a "secret" candidate.





Some posters on there are claiming it's Les Miles. This may wind up being the shitshow to end all shitshows.

Miles would be a train wreck that I would not be able to turn away from.

At this point I'm just assuming all of these news outlets are doing anything to get that free click bait from a name being in a hunt to a name being "crossed off" I can't believe anything these outlets say.


I mean sure, be skeptical right now, but Napier, Venabkes, Cristobal and it appears Clark have all said thanks but no thanks.


The only area that’s debatable is WHY are all these guys telling us no (booster meddling, limiting hires, pushing Steele and crew on them, etc).

Does anybody have a link to where I can read about how Art Briles was exonerated of all the awful shite he was accused of?

Someone is pushing info that is not true. Not sure who it is, but I cant believe anyone at this point. Clark was never offered, yet the AL.com types are pushing he was and declined. I dont think Nap made it to an offer, either.

TL;DR he alerted the proper authorities (most importantly Star) and the admins ignored his concerns. It is up to the reader on his actual involvement.

If Steele is made HC, I don't see how Garner doesn't get promoted to DC. It is clearly what the power have been trying to make happen.

Briles, Sr. would be a fine OC hire. I think he was proven to not be responsible for the rape stuff at Baylor.

He's an old frick though like Steele, so he would be a recruiting liability.

Sumlin could unleash Johnny Football 2.0 with Bo Nix.

We have no clue what Napier and Clark were demanding, too. If we are being honest, both are unknowns. If they are making these wild financial demands, we would be best looking around. Neither are Saban. Sark isn't worth 6 MM per year. He is a recovering alcoholic and was average as a HC. It is difficult, but I will try and hold my judgment until we are through this process.

ETA

If Sark and Nap think they will have the autonomy at Bama after Saban leaves then good luck. That place will be swimming with sharks.

Official offer or not, something is causing this to go very poorly. It’s not like these coaches don’t have reputations and personalities that are unknown to the BOT.

Would there be any way, if we weren't a shite show, that we would go after Mark Stoops? He has done some really good stuff with Kentucky, I can't imagine what he could do with the recruiting resources (see: bagmen) we have
