re: Are we about to lose Glen Schumann to Alabama

Certainly Bama would offer him 1.5 mill or something in that neighborhood.

If Schumann can't do the math and realize his potential beyond $1.5M, then he might not be worth keeping around.

Better, for now, to make the $1M and remain seated at the learning tree at 32 years old than to "lose the CO" and take complete ownership of a defense at a very unforgiving school.

Continue to be groomed.

In a few years, take a head coaching position.

He is 32.

Kirby was once offered a lateral move to his alma mater. He turned it down. He was quite a bit older than 32.

Schumann was with Kirby when this happened. It's likely that he heard Saban advise Kirby on the matter. It's even more likely that Kirby, at least, shared that advise.

He has watched that advice pay off...in multiples of $1.5M.
