I'm sorry but that is just a different of opinion. Unless they said doing everything to keep TRod was a condition of hiring I can't see a coach making a first priority retaining a guy he never met. And again as I said it looks TRob was there for Saban and only someone in the Saban tree would have kept him there. TRob doesn't seem like a guy so easily hurt that he would reject the guy cause he actually wants to meet him before offering the job.

If you are a smart coach you call Saban and ask him who’s crucial to keep to, to keep players from leaving before you sign the contract. Then you call all of those guys before you get on the plane. Then you ask those guys what players are most crucial to call to make sure I keep the team and that’s who you call from the plane.

Do you not think Nick Saban and Kalen aren't doing the best they can to keep players?

Other programs are just cherry picking potential good players with more money.

I agree. The thing that I keep saying that keeps getting lost is that TRob showed no indication he wanted to stay once Saban retired. It could be on DeBoer, but it could be on TRob which is my guess.

The it falls on Bryne for hiring him. To me the only coaches that could have kept him here were Lanning, Lane, Muschamps and Schumann. Only one of those is a real option and we didn't get him. After that you I think you go with the best coach cause where we have suffered is on the field.

Again I said this before. We are not at the end of transfers but this roster is still the second best in the SEC to me.

You literally have no clue if anything like that did or did not happen though.
