I think the days of mocking UT and people laughing at us are almost coming to an end.

If we can finish strong, and I’m thinking top 8 or higher with this class, and can get 8+ wins next year, things may really get rolling.

This is amazing. I would be ecstatic with #10 and 8 wins.

That makes no sense about the on-field coaching limits. Are we gonna self report the ball boy for telling the kicker to tie his shoe laces? A scout for pointing out something a kid needs to work on? What about all these camps in the summer they attend? I get the limit on sending coaches out to canvas the country for recruits. It’s still a little antiquated but by golly if Papa Phil wants to instruct a linemen then let him instruct a linemen. He’s the AD.

Everybody self reports a few violations just to give the appearance that everyone is closely monitoring all activity.
It only looks bad if you don’t self report.

Auburn is slipping it was said this morning. He's visiting GA this weekend, and he's visiting us either next weekend or the week after. We have a legit shot. He also has a relationship with Chaney through his father and we're sicking Tee on him. If he can qualify, I think we're going to land him. Jmo

Would love to see another WR added to this class.

Technically you are only allowed 10 coaches, 5 strength coaches, and 4 grad assistants. Anyone else is labeled as support staff and not allowed to "technically instruct" a player, but it's basically impossible to enforce.

They also let young QC coaches who have never worked as a GA or as a paid coach do some on field work to gain experience. But by rule guys like Butch are not in any way supposed to give on field instruction.

Based on what's been said recently i would say it's like 50% Auburn 20% good guys 20% LSU and 10% Georgia. I would say chance of landing both Wright and Toots is combined above 50%. Sorry for the math and numbers and stuff.

I'm a scientist so numbers don't scare me, lol

Wow Enos literally ditched Saban without even telling him. If you have the Athletic, this is a must read.

‘Where’s Dan?’: The story of Alabama football’s...

A blowout national championship loss to Clemson may not have been the biggest shock Nick Saban got last week.
Four days later in Tuscaloosa, Alabama was about to have its regular morning football staff meeting when Saban noticed someone was missing.
“Hey, where’s Dan?” Saban asked staffers, according to people with knowledge of the meeting, in reference to Dan Enos, the Tide’s quarterbacks coach who had just been promoted to become Alabama’s new offensive coordinator.
The offensive coordinator vacancy had been created by Mike Locksley leaving to become the head coach at Maryland. Much of the staff was on the road recruiting, but Saban and Enos were supposed to interview offensive line coaching candidates to replace Brent Key, who had taken a job at his alma mater Georgia Tech after three years with the Crimson Tide.
“Where’s Dan?”
Enos had done a terrific job as the Alabama quarterbacks coach in his first season in the program. A few days earlier, Locksley had raved about the work Enos had done training the Tide QBs to be more efficient in their decision-making. That work had carried over from the practice field into games, especially evidenced by Jalen Hurts’ finding the second receiver on several occasions when he came off the bench to rally Alabama past Georgia in the SEC title game.
Enos’ stock had soared in Saban’s eyes, from all accounts inside the Tide program. Saban was counting on Enos as Alabama would again have to navigate a staggering amount of staff turnover, even by Saban standards. After the 2017 season the Tide brought on six new assistant coaches. Locksley and Key were gone back to their home bases immediately after the 2018 season, as expected. Josh Gattis, the up-and-coming wideouts coach and co-offensive coordinator, had left the day before the staff meeting to take the offensive coordinator job at Michigan.
That same day, Enos’ name had surfaced as a candidate for offensive coordinator openings at Georgia and Miami. But at Alabama, Enos was getting handed the keys to the most explosive collection of skill-position talent the Tide have ever had: phenom quarterback and Heisman Trophy runner-up Tua Tagovailoa, two five-star running backs and a quartet of blazing fast wideouts that led the country in big plays by a wide margin. However, there was no sign of Enos when the staff meeting was about to start.
“Where the F#$% is Dan?!?”
Several of the staffers knew the answer to their boss’ question. Word had already spread that 50-year-old Enos was headed to Miami to become offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach under Manny Diaz. No one in the room wanted to be the one to break that news to Saban, even though Miami was primed to announce it in a couple hours.



HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
