re: This is why we should have hired Kiffin

Ok. Let's take a closer look at players.

Rome Odunze was Mr Football in Nevada. He was recruited by Saban. He went to play for Petersen at UW.

He could've called Saban when Petersen left or when Lake left and played at BAMA. He didn't. He stuck it out and DeBoer's offense probably turned him into a 1st round draft pick. You think DeBoer probably told Odunze, "if you stay, I'll put you in the NFL?"

Isiah Bond. Left before the new coach was announced for a payday.

I know which player I want at BAMA.

If DeBoer told Sayin that he'd rather have Mack, then I'm ok with that. After all, nobody knows his offense better than he and Grubb. Best believe this was a consensus decision and not an impulsive one.
