DC at bamer

 

[YankeeVol]

Except he's not cleared...

I’ll probably get stoned for this, but he isn’t a bad position coach/DC. I think the head coaching role was too much for him at this level, and it did not allow him to do the part of the job he enjoyed doing. Some people aren’t made for some things, and I don’t hold that against him.

No need for drugs. Perfectly credible take on your part. Doubt this is in the scope of Saban’s power tho. He couldn’t get clearance to hire Hugh Freeze and he had served his show cause.

Makes me sick this guy was our coach.

pathetic.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Bamas defense just got significantly better. That sucks.

 

[stolitonic]

And here we go.......

Pruitt slithers back to Bama with no penalties when he was the one managing everything.

NCAA will probably drop the hammer in TN next week or some crap. They couldn't do it during the season because we were too good of a story.

 

[ScornedPapaVol]

Cornbread could become the state bread of Alabama

 

[thunder5]

This is great…Heupal and company get to make ol’ cornbread look like a dang fool…I see lots of whiteboards getting kicked in future UT/Bama games

I don’t think the NCAA will touch it at this point. I bet they’ve been told behind the scenes to stay out of the way by multiple schools.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

I wonder if Bama hires him even with a "show cause" and takes the penalties?

It's a sure bet the NCAA won't let him recruit but that's not a big deal for Saban. What else can they do? A $200-300k fine from the NCAA isn't going to really hurt Bama either.

Is there a precedent for a school hiring a "show cause" coach?

Edit: I looked. There have been cases where a "show cause" coach was hired and has to sit out 5-6 games, etc. That might be a bridge too far for Saban.

Yeah, you see how bad he was when he didn’t have elite talent to work with

In fairness look who he followed. Butch Jones. At least we had a passing defense that didn’t rank in the 100s.

 

[RabunRaven]

I know this is old but my point is this: coaches who lead these elite programs have to be much more than just a coach. They have to be a CEO of a $100 million dollar business. At this level, X's and O's are simply a function of a larger mechanism. I would not let Cornbread run my lemonade stand. That said, he might be good at lemon squeezing. DC is and will always be his ceiling.

He is a world class DC.
He doesn't get the keys to the Ferrari, but he can program the GPS.

I agree.

Feel like he gets too much hate here. Of the "bad coach trilogy", he was probably the least bad of the bunch. He recruited reasonably well and developed the players. He just sucked at being a HC and particularly sucked at offensive strategy and cheating (which I'm sure Saban and Kirby are doing as well --- they are just much better at it).

He's a great DC, though, so if Bama hires him, that's bad for us.

 

[yabadabadolnavy]

good. he sucks lol

 

[BearCat204]

good. he sucks lol

Probably one of the best defensive coordinators out there.

 

[yabadabadolnavy]

he's garbage lol

 

[uncle chewii]

I doubt he will get hired back. With the violations that went on he will have to get cleared by the NCAA and I don’t see that happening without behaving a show clause and recruiting restrictions for at least a year.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

There’s no way he doesn’t get a show-cause . He and his wife both gave cash to players and their families. You can’t even do that now .

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

Shouldnt this clown be receiving a show- cause any day now?

 

[WillisWG]

Alabama expected to hire Southern Miss defensive coordinator to UA staff, per report

He got a Ferrari because bama, Saban and the bammer's in the $EC Birmingham head office know he would talk about bama eventually
