re: tRant knew Sharp was going to fumble

Soon as he started running up field I said hang on to the ball and then he doesn’t cover with both hands when about to have contact from multiple directions. Almost like he didn’t even see the guy coming from the side. May need to get his eyes checked

re: The latest on Saban, yes they’re going after him

Really don’t think he will come but if there is any fire and desire left to coach it will be now and this job since Bama obviously isn’t open. It’s now or never for him. I think he considers it but ultimately stays retired

to be improved they really have to cut down on those turnovers. can't live with 15 or more turnovers per game like in the past. maybe as they gel together through the non-conference and begin to shrink the rotations slightly that number will come down.

re: Why is it such a crap shoot when hiring top coaches from lower levels or top assistants

Posted by Portcityblues on 11/5/25 at 7:15 pm to Forever

Understand they are the best but when coaches move up they are coaching better players too. Seems like they only succeed about 10% of the time when it should be closer to a 50/50 shot. Not saying to get the next great championship coach but at least someone that can build u up. Heck Indiana coach came from JMU and brought a bunch of small school kids with him and went to playoff year one

Why is it such a crap shoot when hiring top coaches from lower levels or top assistants

Is it just all the extra duties that take their time? Is it the pressure and stress? The game is the same. If they were proven to be the best at their level never understood why soo many fail. Is it just easier to put coach people and direct your teams to wins and can’t do that as much at higher levels. Same for basketball. Why is it that you either strike gold or hit poo with choosing a successful young up and comer.

re: I cannot imagine the boosters being OK with Ausberry

Posted by Portcityblues on 11/5/25 at 1:25 pm to Nickoftime

yeah I'm sure these big boosters that met with admin to determine the fate of Kelly were really blindsided by the AD hire. Come on now.

re: If Saban was considering does anyone really think Miss Terri would be house shopping?

While at Circle K. I saw miss Terri picking up a roll of Copenhagen. Think she is a Big Dipper

re: Report: Verge Ausberry is new AD, Interim tag removed by Rousse..But possibly temporary?

Posted by Portcityblues on 11/4/25 at 6:43 pm to timlan2057

If some of u want a go getter and someone that can fundraise their tail off for LSU then if this don’t work out in a few years then put Mulkey as the AD when she is done coaching. Think I remember she raised over a million dollars to upgrade coaching offices etc in her first month on the job. She is a worker that loves the state and LA and can sell anyone on something

re: How do we structure a deal for Saban that he may take?

Posted by Portcityblues on 11/4/25 at 11:39 am to Trailer Trash

I'm sure they offered a significant amount of money. I really think for him though the kicker if even remotely interested in coaching again would be about the structure. Do we have the staffing in place to totally handle the NIL side along with portal. If we do, to where he doesn't handle that and if players want to discuss that they go to the GM staff to where he can coach would help. they said we would be willing to spend. give him 30 million in NIL year one and promise to increase that by 10% each year.

re: Hypothetical: IF Saban comes back to LSU then what will BAMA do with "Saban Field"?

Posted by Portcityblues on 11/4/25 at 11:27 am to PsychTiger

they would probably play their home games on it :dunno:

re: My source that was right last time about Brian Kelly had the following news

Posted by Portcityblues on 11/3/25 at 7:51 pm to Datsmoneydude

I would like the McNeese Ad as assistant AD because he is a former basketball coach and we will need one after this year probably. Would be nice to have a basketball in the room. Let him pick next coach. Wade probably wouldn’t come back and if he did due to his loyalty and relationship with that guy he would probably have to have some serious demands of NIL funds to know we were serious. If we did that he may come back. If not at least I feel better about next hire having someone in AD department that cares about basketball and knows it to help pick the next guy.

re: Theres too much smoke on Saban

Posted by Portcityblues on 11/3/25 at 7:33 pm to UpToPar

Give him what he wants for 4 years and promise 30 million in NIL year one and to increase that by 10% a year with him picking the new coach. Would be tough to turn down if he still has the competitive juices flowing

re: If Kiffin stays at Ole Miss

Posted by Portcityblues on 11/3/25 at 7:06 pm to SammyTiger

At some point a top coach like that will stay put where he will make similar money and be loved by the fan base just for getting to playoff or close to it on regular basis. Less stress and u can get a statue even without winning it all. Don’t have to worry about getting fired after 4 years going elsewhere
