Linebacker Manny Nunnery from Florida in the portal.

You can’t fool us. You ain’t no nun, man.

 

[Vol423]

Yeah you're probably right. I cant help but wonder how the pressure cooker of that town and just living in the south day to day treats someons who has been in the northwest his whole life. Is he prepared for the amount of unwarranted scrutiny he will receive from every direction every single day? Does he realize how closely they will follow his every move? Lol. I guarantee that job in Seattle did not prepare him for Tuscaloosa.

Saban rose above all that and became bigger than any scrutiny could reach. But thats not an easy place to get to. He'll have to win their respect on the field. And won't get a lot of time to earn it.

I wasn't aware South Dakota and Michigan were in the northwest. I guess you learn something new every day.

That Franz's boy?

4 U Titans

Wow. With that being the Titans' A-list of potential new head coaches, I'm surprised to not find Butch Jones in the mix.

 

[Vol423]

You know it's bad when a guy living in Phoenix has some sympathy for you Titans fans.

 

[vol_in_ga]

...particularly since it's already been announced that he reached an agreement with Bama to take the job.

Wasn’t aware it was public. Thought it was all sources say he’s in negotiations. ESPN now saying official. All makes sense.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Their DB coach was Saban let’s be real here, just like it is at Georgia (Kirby) if you have any knowledge of football you would understand those two were the best secondary coaches/DC’s in the nation….just like how Heupel is essentially our OC/QB coach

You are making way too many assumptions here. Why did Saban have a DB coach then? Even if Saban helped with the DBs, his DB coach at the very least learned under the best. I would take Bamas DB coach over Martinez in a split second. Unfortunately Willie is Heupels buddy so that means he can continue to suck and still be employed here.

 

[VolNash17]

So many Vol fans are talking about Bama players in the portal and for good reason. But why has nobody talked about Sabans staff? I know Heupel wouldn’t do it but I wish he would go after their LB and DB coach.

Gosh yes.

 

[VolNash17]

For what it’s worth, I just met Donovan Olugbode, ‘25 receiver from IMG. He was wearing a Vols jacket and told me he is going to Tennessee.

A lot of time between now and commitment probably and things change with kids. But I believe you

I watched a segment of Bama's practice several years back in which Saban himself was coaching all of their DB's in drills. He was literally coaching them on every single step and every single hand placement.

They’re getting stud recruiters and coaches. It’s insane

One of the criticisms when he got to Washington was that he was a Midwest guy who didn’t understand the NW lol

 

[utvolmaniac]

Has Lance Leipold said no?

That is the one coach I hope they don’t go get. Was not going to bring him up and planting the thought in the minds of the Gumps.

 

[knoxvol52]

Headed to Weigel's to get some Squirrel Bites

 

[Gilbert]

I hope Washington promotes Grubbs. Huge part of Deboer’s success.

Moving to the PAC-12 is a nice change of pace though since you don't have to play defense there.

Plus his name is awesome

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Gonna be a tough first season for the new coach. They play Georgia week 4 and have to play at Neyland, Death Valley and Norman. Also have a tricky Missouri team that should be better than this years. Even going to Wisconsin could be an L that early. What if the tide loses 4+ next year?

[DD4ME]

I like that Bama had to flip scheme philosophy. Even more for internal debate. I think DeBoer is a good coach, but circumstances IMO make a great coach. These are not great imo.

 

[knoxvol52]

Rumors that "Coach Sexy" Kliff Kingsbury candidate for Washington Huskies job as HC..

I can see 8-4. (USF, @OK, even the Iron Bowl will be tough for a new coach. I think they will go 2-1 in those games.)


*Please be 8-4. They really do need that

 

[DD4ME]

I also like they are dealing with a Milroe and not Penix. We've seen ourselves that great scheme can whip ass to a point, but personnel takes over at the highest level. Washington's championship proves that. They got manhandled. Now he immediately has SEC studs, but his best weapons are on D not offense.

Is he back from Thailand yet, or is he just going to do a Zoom interview for the job? He was tailor-made for a PAC-12 head coaching gig because they played no defense. He won't survive in the Big 10.
