No elite offensive lineman were going to switch from Georgia to Arkansas bc of Pittman. They were going to switch from Georgia to another school if Pittman didn’t say something to them.


Wrong

Players would go for Pittboss.

That is what he was. He was the glue.

Bama fans are so soft. I'd guarantee you that Kirby knew the recruiting class a good as anyone on that staff.

I'm not saying this happened or not, but do you really think this had any bearing on the recruiting class for that year?

Kirby's lowest ranked recruiting class was, guess when. The year he left. Who were all of these 5 star recruits he supposedly stole from Bama?

You've taken what is probably a blatant lie and run with it to further your hatred for the man. One would think you would look at Kirby's record against Bama as good enough "revenge" to satisfy you.


Yup.

Bama fans dont have any logic.

Kirby took the board and showed recruits where they ranked on the board.

If he showed the top Bama target that they were the top Bama target, do you think that impresses them and gets them to reject Bama?

Of course not.

He told the 2nd or 3rd targets where they stood and they could choose where they wanted to sign from there.

Kirby didn't steal any of Bamas guys.

Pittman was a helluva recruiter.
We haven't had a better OL recruiter before or since.

But our OL has been better.
Better coached. Better prepared.

I remember starting the 2020 season against Arkansas. We had Owen Condon starting right tackle. He didn't make it through the game. Warren McClendon took the job and never gave it back.
Pittman had all off-season. All summer. All camp to get a plan for game 1.
He rewarded the upperclassman.

McClendon ended up a freshman all American. He became a 4 year starter, All SEC OL, and 2 time national champion.

PittBoss' skill was connecting with people. He had imperfections in execution.

Great guy. Completely unable to deal with the new NIL/transfer crap that is ruining football.

He just did t have the status Saban had to be able to just throw the towel in…but he quit trying after the NIL and portal hit.
