Thought this was interesting enough to add to this topic. From a particular UA email update I get each week:


The GOAT was facing a situation where he had an enormously talented but deeply flawed, undisciplined, and distracting OC whose poor behavior was escalating (hard to believe that was possible, but true) at the same time he was starting another job. His behavior would've meant he didn't play in the Peach Bowl if he were a player instead of being a coach. His inability to stick to the gameplan that had been agreed to during prep week infuriated Coach, as did his behavior. His lack of focus showed in #2's play. And it's not exactly a morale booster when players' girlfriends tell stories of your OC's exploits with their friends.
On the sideline, he had a hungry OC in waiting who had been with us since September and who has been breaking down Clemson for weeks. He knows our scheme, our personnel, our HC, and has been wildly successful on big stages. Contrary to rumors, he's been on a *strict* regimen since his arrival and hasn't had a hiccup. In addition to Sark being an obviously superior fit, the GOAT also believes he will be more productive than Kiffin over time.
And yet, we have fans who think this is somehow a negative. How?
To summarize, CNS isn't replacing a committed, disciplined, focused, talented OC with Sark to call the NCG in a week. He is replacing a talented OC whose talents currently are significantly diminished by both his professional and personal behavior. Given the current circumstances, UA fans should be thrilled that the GOAT has the Sam Cassell balls to make this call when he did, and put a plan in place months ago that even makes this sort of thing possible. Otherwise, we would be limping into the NCG with our offensive arm tied behind our back.
Outsiders wonder often if winning at Bama is boring. Maybe complacency has set in even among some of our fans. Well, if CNS and staff manage to get us to 15-0 in a rematch game with a TF QB, a week-old OC, and a historically great/productive defense, won't that be one of the greatest sports stories of all time? Isn't that exciting? Fun, even?
Personally, I'm excited and think that the events of the last week have created a beautiful dynamic for this team headed into next week. Let's get it on.

So, basically JF plowed through sorority row, slinging dick like its new jack city.

All that talent, he's recently divorced...i mean who can blame him.
