[quote]House isn’t a dumbass. He knows football and he knows X’s and O’s you don’t get to where he’s been without it. But it takes more than that to be a good college coach. It’s a tough job. You’re teaching a lot of these guys from basically scratch.[/quote] So what you're saying is that House wou...
[quote]There are busts at every position but I think OL is one of the easier ones to predict. Size, athleticism, experience, character traits is all you need to look at. They’re large bodies who’s job is to get in the way the defense. It’s not rocket science.[/quote] Sorry, friend, but I have to di...
[quote]In regards to KC, I think Mahomes is just different. I honestly couldn’t name one OL on that team. Kelce is very important to that team and frankly probably more than the random OL they bring in to protect Mahomes. Mahomes has a quick release and is very mobile too.[/quote] In all honesty, i...
[quote]Exactly, we’re not a contender. Go get a player who can be a core piece in the future because he’s an elite talent. Don’t grab an OL just because you have to. Unless you’re getting a top 5ish sure fire LT. [/quote] I agree. OT's are a dicey pick, no matter what round they get selected in. ...
[quote]Stop….whining. Right? Instead of getting behind what saban was trying….had been saying..,for years, you idiots put personal feelings ahead of what was right. The backlash against saban went national[/quote] For the thousandth time, Saban was actively and publicly complaining about a practice...
[quote]I mean, you could always leave that job and look for one with more money if you aren't happy with it. Apparently, there's not enough demand for some of y'all's jobs like there are for college football players, though.[/quote] Not a good analogy. In my world (IT), the "five-star" players are...

[quote]And if he goes in the 2nd is he a first ballot hof?[/quote] Nope. He'll simply be relegated to the endless list of non-1st round QB's that either weren't elite/franchise level, or took a LONG time to get there (and several shots with multiple teams). My point was that if he goes in the 1s...

[quote]I'm actually a little higher on Nix than most. Granted, most think he sucks. I think he has the potential to be a decent NFL starter one day. And he'd be a great back up.[/quote] If he goes in the first, he'll be Baker Mayfield 2.0. Good, not great, and needing 4-6 years to mature and grow ...
[quote]"[i]So I'm saying to myself, 'Maybe this doesn't work anymore, that the goals and aspirations are just different and that it's all about how much money can I make as a college player?' I'm not saying that's bad. I'm not saying it's wrong, I'm just saying that's never been what we were all abo...
quote: He played the game with a loaded deck and now that's been taken away. [quote]I see this a lot...how exactly does that work?? Was it loaded at Bama before he got there??[/quote] [b]YES[/b]. It started at Bama under Bear (and maybe at a few other blue-blood schools in the same period). [quo...
[quote]So Saban came in and in four years he completely turned around a forgotten LSU program with no national recognition into a national championship program. He did it with sound coaching. He didn’t cheat or pay players. But three years later at Alabama he started cheating and paying players a...
[quote]I dont blame him one bit for it. I would say to Hell with It, too. Especially with all these 5 stars that care nothing about your school All about showing me the money....[/quote] Don't fool yourself into believing that. Even before NIL, 5-stars at Bama were still about "showing me the mon...
[quote] That coach cheats... but not when he was our coach. Back then he didn't cheat. My evidence is absolutely nothing. *LSU fans on Nick Saban*[/quote] I didn't say that Nick [b][i]didn't [/i][/b]pay players at LSU. I said [i][b]I didn't think he did[/b][/i], given where the LSU footba...
[quote]So did Saban pay players at LSU like you say he did at Alabama? It was a pretty dramatic turnaround for LSU football. And if so, did Les Miles suddenly stop when he arrived?[/quote] I won't claim to know the inner workings of LSU football operations, but I highly doubt they were buying playe...
[quote]Bryant hasn't coached in over 40 years, yet he started this. Also, you're old AF.[/quote] Old? Okay, that's fair. But that doesn't mean I'm wrong. It just means I have the perspective to make a statement I'm confident in. What do you have, youngster, to refute me? Oh, and GET OF...
[quote]Dude what a baby back shortman syndrome Napoleon complex bitch. Good riddance. Dude isn’t a GOAT. He got escorted out at the highest level quickly. He quit on the Dolphins. Once competition became legitimate in college, he quit. And this is the kind of guy who would manipulate players by ragg...
[quote]the Bear (who really started this mess)[/quote] Truth hurts, doesn't it? Bear was known for two things: 1 - Recruiting an enormous number of players - more than he could ever play. This was more to keep good players away from other teams than anything else. It's also the reason that th...
[quote][quote]…we wouldn’t be dealing with all the me-first, mercenary bullshite from all the players[/quote] You might want to think about where the players might have gotten that me-first attitude from,……maybe it was all the coaches, Saban included, that were asking for ever-increasing multi-milli...
[quote]Melt[/quote] Ah, yes, the inevitable say-nothing reply from someone with no other retort of consequence. You might as well have just shouted "shenanigans", or "I know you are but what am I?" for the same effect. The truth is still the truth: Bama played cards from the bottom of the de...
[quote]Say whatever makes you feel better, bub. In the end, this robs the head coach of power, and in order for a head coach to be effective, you have to have FULL leverage on players.[/quote] Not sure where you were going with that statement, since Bama had long been the acknowledged Master of the...
