Your comments are fricking stupid. There is literally no talent on this team. Don’t forget Gus didn’t recruit a single offensive lineman his last 2 years and Potato just didn’t recruit. This is a 3 year rebuild project. The good news - today you can use NIL and the portal to expedite the process, but it isn’t gonna happen in a single recruiting cycle.

81 was a beautiful thing to see.

How did he think that was going to work?
I tried to support him and the team, but the fact is he did not understand the necessity of constant recruiting.

Freeze gets that.

not apologizing for the guy, but he was hired in 2020 before the NIL decision, which changed everything

i truly believe he thought he could take the Tuberville formula and succeed at a level that would keep him safely employed until recruiting picked up - NIL pretty much destroyed that idea

then the staff/player defections happened and we were off to the races

after the investigation he said frick it, let em fire me and cut me a big check

Totally agree. I think after that happened, he realized he was not wanted

You basically did with the whole post.

The guy finished workout sets before he would acknowledge recruits in his presence.

I have a hard time believing this as he would sit home on Friday nights and attend his sons games. I think he was taking the Blue Smurf approach. We have people come in and offer them and not really work for it. I don't know if he even visited one recruit at school. I know coaches said he didn't try. So at least the BBQ gang at least were on the road recruiting. Potato gang didn't (except the couple of AU guys & maybe one or two more) the rest? yeah not so much.
