Bama and auburn play a softer schedule I honestly don’t care about winning the SEC, nationally ppl know who the best team in the SEC is and that’s all that matters. Get a good seed and play as best we can in march that’s all you can ask for

How Nick Saban's retirement altered 3 West Coast programs: 'I don’t know if I have a job'

One announcement led to coaching changes at three other schools as well a flurry of movement in the transfer portal.
theathletic.com theathletic.com

Thanks to some family in the coaching community, Les has relationships with college staffs across the country. Even though Noah never entered the transfer portal, programs reached out through back channels.

“We had three for sure,” Les said. “Alabama is the only one we were really interested in outside of Arizona and staying and obviously Washington. The boys were like, ‘I don’t know if we could go to Washington.’”

There was a connection to Alabama. DeBoer, while the head coach at Fresno State, was one of the only coaches to offer Noah a scholarship. The thought of playing in that offense — and doing so at Alabama — appealed to Les as an alternative in case things didn’t work out at Arizona. But Les recognized it wasn’t his decision to make. He was only there to guide.

The process could take a while. The NCAA doesn't care if it hurts recruiting, and UT is already having to deal with that.

And by "doesn't care" you mean has contrived that intentionally as yet another undeserved and corrupt punishment. Tennessee is rising and can't be slowed down by legitimate means.

They need to justify their jobs. Without any power they have no value so are scrambling to prove their worth.

Yes, but it being targeted at us is malicious and intentional and in support of favorites and targeting the rivals of favorites, further demonstrating for anyone with eyes to see that the NCAA is hopelessly corrupt.

They could have justified their jobs by concluding their multiple investigations of Michigan in the past two years, instead of de facto acting as Michigan's defense team. And they could have gone after the bag games at Bama and UGA and had plenty of work.

I agree but they have yet to hand down Michigan’s punishment for their level 1 violation and are still investigating the sign stealing thing apparently

Is it known who the interviewer was, if there was an interview, and where the interview originally appeared, if it did appear, before what presented itself as a citation in the internet stories appeared? Not to say or deny that Bama fixers haven't spoken with the interviewer, if there was an interview, or that any recordings, if there were a recording (in lieu of note taking), or notes, may have been lost. 🤣

What I saw for myself was a news story quoting the dad as denying that he spoke with "Coach DeBoer" or anyone in "his camp," which is ambiguous but most usually would mean the football staff. Has the dad said anything about Bama boosters or the Bama (on-campus) collective's representatives? I'm asking. I don't know.

If BBB is Antonio Morales?

Whatever “back channels” are and if they speak to Deboer. 🤔

Thanks for the link, great one! The dad, then, is now saying that Morales lied and The Athletic didn't confirm facts with its writer and published the story irresponsibly? I hope Morales and The Athletic respond to the dad's response. It's a pretty serious allegation to accuse them of lying. Morales's article makes no sense as a lie. And surely the dad saw the article when it came out on Feb. 1 and didn't object until now? He not unlikely considered it an accurate article until the consequences later came to this attention.

I personally don't find it in any way implausible that someone from the player's camp spoke with DeBoer. Or that the player did. Neither of those would be included under the perhaps intentionally delimited terms of the denial. Or with someone standing in for DeBoer as an intermediary. The denial, in other words, doesn't deny tampering. That's what I was trying to suggest, but cautiously because I had not (then) read the article from the Athletic.

I don't know what "BBB" means?
