If LWS is still over here ask him about the talent Kiffin had on campus for his camp while coach at UT. He had a crazy camp roster that included damn near the top guys at many positions including a group from Louisiana OBJ, , Jarvis Landry, 3 of the top 7 qbs, 3 of top 4 rbs, and that was just offense. On defense it was crazy too Ego ferguson, Luc, Elam, Corey Miller, the DT from Miller school who committed/decommitted, and so on. It was easily loaded like a Rivals camp. Not sure your issue Rish.
Every year there are rumors about Saban. One year he was retiring, one year he was leaving for Texas, then he was leaving to go back to the NFL. Yet, they finished #1 in recruiting each of those years.
Almost every year, they lose assistants to other programs. This year is no different.
I have no explanation for why Alabama is off to a slow start. Maybe it is by design and maybe it is a reaction to the title game loss. I don't know. But, if I were a betting man, I would bet that by February 7, 2018, the "experts" will have Alabama's 2018 class rated higher than ours.
Entirely possible. If you're Carvin and Davis the question is do you want to take the chance of being an Alabammer post Saben. When he goes one way or another it's back to the woodshed for Alabama.
It was also labeled the most unorganized camp ever at UT and cost us a shot at multiple high ranked guys. Volume without organization and quality is chaos. Just like that azzholes's first and only class. Never defend that scumbag. The only good thing he did was kicking DeVinner out.
Not in coaching but I have known a few high level businessmen who have retired and were dead within a couple of years. It was like a major shock to their physical body.
They'll back uo the brinks truck and pay whomever they want. That coach will take the job and have a loaded squad and likely win a NC.
Regardless of how well Bama finishes, does this indicate a "slow down" of Saban's drive?
They have a stacked team now and will probably have a great season, which will bring the recruits, but is this the beginning of the end? AS A UT FAN I SAY YES!
Na, I don't buy that. I'm sure Bama will throw the bank at some big name and that big name coach will have unlimited resources and blue chip players top to bottom. However, I don't think they're going to be able to recreate the Saben success. At least not with the kind of consistency they're used to. Unless they hire Urban Mire I whole heartedly believe they're going to crash quickly. And even then they'd lose games they shouldn't.
