quote:The portal for Alabama players after Saban's retirement closed on 9 February. According to reports, Seattle interviewed Chip Kelly on the National Signing Day, more precisely in the evening of 7 February: LINK
but if the players did not know and feel slighted come next portal open we will see players leave and deservingly so.
This either means that:
1. Seattle's hiring of Grubb was not a done deal yet, and there was no agreed 'scheme' between Alabama, the Seattle Seahawks, Kalen DeBoer and Ryan Grubb to let the portal deadline close before announcing the hire; or
2. There was such an agreed and elaborate scheme between four parties, and Seattle agreed to set up an interview with Chip Kelly just to keep up appearances, and leaked that to the media in order to facilitate Alabama.
On a balance of probability, which option seems more likely: option 1 or 2?
I do not have compelling evidence for either option. I just find it odd that Seattle would schedule a fake interview with Kelly if they already had an agreement with Grubb at the time. But again, I don't know and I just want to move on to Kirby Moore and Mizzou's OL coach (if Huff leaves as well).

Either way the optics look bad but if it makes some on here feel better please downvote. Alot of sensitive fans in here nowadays.
I just hope the players knew that him staying at UA was not a guarantee. I know his daughter(child) wanted to stay in Seattle and heard rumors that his family would stay behind until the kid finished school. And not concerned about losing a coach that never coached a game or practice at UA just the timing looked bad.
