Was just talking about this myself. Thielen is the best example — played (redshirted freshman year) at Minnesota State-Mankato, then worked his way into the Vikings practice squad, eventually made his way into the active roster and now he’s breaking Randy Moss’s records. Just crazy.

Or even like Tom Brady getting drafted in the 7th round. How did all 32 front offices pass on him six times before the Pats we’re finally like, “Screw it — we’ll give this guy a shot.”

Just got through rewatching the win over the Zags. There was no way Admiral was going to allow this team to lose that game. Just took it over. The unsung hero was Bowden. Those two 3's of his to go with stifling D was so important at critical points down the stretch. What a team.

If tomorrow is the day and Yurcich is the man - let's get busy and finish off this class in style. Fun times ahead. Shows me CJP/Fulmer are serious about doing whatever it takes to win.

The problem is..it may be process of elimination by the candidates we know.

I think Briles will end up at FSU..if it was him something else would have came out like “closing in, narrowing down”.

I don’t think Yurcich will come here, he’s in a better situation right now.

People are saying Saban is trying to keep Enos and has promised him Co-OC job.

So that basically leaves us with....Lebby.

I really don't see AV saying he was happy with the hire if it is Lebby.

This is kind of random..but how do players like Adam Thielen, Tarik Cohen..etc just go totally under the radar basically their whole life then blow up in the nfl.

I believe the economic structure in the NFL allows this. QB’s are paid handsomely, and several other players get paid well, so teams have to have guys on the roster who are paid near the minimum. It allows guys to develop or get a chance as a backup.

It can happen a little in baseball but not much in basketball.

Can anyone give me a logical reason Gronk was in the game today when the pats lost?


Makes ZERO sense to me

CBB had him in to bat down a hail Mary from 70 yds out. Not his best coaching moment. Devin McCourtey on the sidelines.

I’m not down on Lebby. I said in that post that i don’t think Yurcich would come here. He makes good money and has total control of the offense. If in fact, what I’m hearing is right and this thing is getting damn well wrapped up with him. Then that tells me we’re forking out money and Pruitt is giving him the keys.
