First Time in a Long Time

[orangemadam]

This. No such thing as a clean program at the D1 level

True, also the refs have cost us every basketball loss for the last 2 years. Just thought I would throw that in.

Oh, yeah, Butch has cost us every fb loss the past 2 years.

Would you live in Tuscaloosa for free?

New double-wide and a lifetime supply of Spam?

Saban shouldn’t have let Cochran address the full team. He just left at an awful time, in the middle of off season training, right before Spring practice starts....and he went to an in conference rival. Cochran can surely reach out individually and say “goodbye” to the players, but no way I let him address the full team. Saban was right imho.

In other words Saban is finally getting what everyone else gets every year: bad luck.

I think Tennessee has a better coaching staff than Alabama.

You obviously forgot that Butch is an assistant down there, laying brick after brick with resiliency. Plus, he brought his chart.

Just think where we would have been today if Fulmer and the powers that be had paid Rodney (The Bagman) Garner what he was worth and not leave. He is the gift that keeps on giving by cutting us off at the knees stealing the recruit out of Chattanooga this past recruiting cycle.

Ha

Why would Alabama have to pay players?

haven’t you noticed that they seldom leave early to enter the draft? They can’t afford to take a cut in pay when they turn pro.

I saw that thread title, "First time in a long time" and thought this was about somebodies love life, ahhh , just saying.

 

[NATHAN05]

Everyone plays players. We just have to up our bagman game.

If I remember correctly I think he interviewed for Kiffin's staff and almost came back.........we know about the Lane "moral's" Train about that time so only seems fitting..............

The Chinese bought Smithfields a few years ago, so our strategic position on pork has been compromised.

VN seems to believe Auburn, Bama, Georgia and Florida all pay players.

Teams that have consistently beat UT over the years must be paying their players.

Georgia State & BYU paid big dollars for their players.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

Butch might as well return as our head coach given how Lyle Lyme ticks drag his name into VN so frequently.

They have been just more than us. CFP is working on that.

That's "Special Assistant to Head Coach," sir. Show some damn respect.

 

[tennesseeduke]

No those universities paid the coaches. Something UT didn't until of late. Oh and we finally hired a real football coach who knows what a program should be.

And an athletic director

 

[tnutater]

You seem passionate about other teams paying players.

So there is no confusion, I said every school.

 

[tnvols72]

The problem for Ga with Cochran going there is Smart is still the HC.

 

[tnutater]

Or a bucket of chitlins I can and do eat most anything. I can honestly say Chitterlings are the worst I have had, that includes things in Korea that had kimchi and pickled dog heads.

One staff’s HC has won multiple national championships.

The other staff’s HC has great potential, and has won several as a coordinator. Being a HC is much different than being a coordinator.

Yawn

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Yawn

No sense of humor.

Altogh NOT at an SEC level, I an confident there are compensation agreements.

Have you been to Tuscaloosa?

I think Tennessee has a better coaching staff than Alabama. With the Cochran exit, Saban lost the best in the business. The assistants are not near what the Tide has been used to having. None there very long. I hope this is the beginning of the end. They still have some of the best players that money can buy. I hope their recruiting suffers in 2021. I hate Crimson.

You failed to mention Saban's car wash boy! CJP took over a dumpster fire, has the team buying in, recruiting light out, not just moving in the right direction, but rather, has us on a roll-not only will we beat Bama, but I'm smelling a NATY! It's time for CJP to get a BIG pay raise!!!
