re: Class of 2017 Recruiting MEGATHREAD: Say Your Goodbyes Edition

One thing that I've learned in following recruiting and coaching situations under Saban is that it really IS fluid (annoying as the over-usage of that word may be) quite often with him. I've never seen anything like the changes from month to month in who's ranked where on the recruiting board (if the info that I read is correct).

And on the coaching staff front, I feel confident that the info is correct that Saban told Kiffin BEFORE the 2015 season to be looking for another job at the end of the season, and that things changed. Kiffin asked for another year to get things straight, and Saban believed in him. Things change. Dealing with 17-22 year olds is a dynamic situation, not a static one. Things change quite often.

This isn't necessarily to criticize you, or even in comment to the specific issue you're discussing. It's more just a general observation.

I don't know what to think of the Sark info that's been out there for the past couple weeks. We'll just have to see how that plays out.
