Ain't that the truth. Scab is the bottom of the barrel..and you have to work DAMN HARD to be worse than Finebaum.

It is hilarious that bammers are calling people out, yet most of the ones who are gloating in this thread won't be seen or heard if he turns down the job or will only be seen and heard to make a bunch of excuses. I am still skeptical of him taking the job and I will only admit I was wrong when he does accept it
Hey, I'm not gloating or calling out anyone that blasted us earlier in the past week. I'm just excited about our chances at this point in time. Bama normally doesn't send their AD on a plane without having some assurances that they are in a good position. I don't think anyone will argue that Bama has a boatload of money to spend, and has decided to back the Brink's truck up to Marshall's doorstep. And with Battle's background, I like his chances of closing the deal.
But like I said in the above post, I don't think it is a done deal by any stretch. I'm just finally excited about our chances to hire a top notch BB coach.

It's pretty useless for your AD to meet with him with only pocket change.

the more yall acknowledge him, the more wins he racks up
even when he has to eat crow, he's still paying rent

I can already see bammers claiming a moral victory if he turns the job down by claiming at least he had enough interest to discuss the job

So, when does Battle money-whip Bruce Bochy or Terry Francona?

I have fully acknowledged his talent going on about two weeks now. I can't stop other people from responding to him. He's good at his job.

Our pockets just weren't big enough.
I still think it would take somewhere in the ballpark of $5 million to get him to jump to Bama and forego any so called blue blood jobs that might open up in the future. Now, that may be after bonuses and such, but I think your pockets have to be about that big.

nah, sounds like more of a barner or landmass move to me. we don't do moral victories at bama.
UNLESS you decide to commit seppuku. we would accept that as a moral victory

The funny thing is, you can say the same thing about LSU fans toward Patton whom you just agreed with.

That is probably just base salary. I bet once you add up all of the incentives it'll be closer to 4, or possibly over 4.
I'm pretty sure we are willing to go that far at least, whether or not it takes that much is another story.

so you compare Patton to auburnphan
I think you missed the point

Let him stick a long knife up his arse. That would be enough for pay back

Yeah. I heard high 3s with incentives. $4M was kinda the ceiling because of Pinkel's salary.

Technically, the Gumps are calling people out. The bammers are biting their nails, refreshing their browser every five minutes, and wishing this crow eating thread wasn't started till we got new info.
