Proof that CLK is doing his job!

If he can get that kind of hate out of them before even coaching a game at Tennessee he is a good man in my book

come on. Saban loses a slew of coaches every year. Not to mention that he, and not his recruiting coordinator, is the reason the recruits are pouring in.

I agree that Alabama/Saban will be just fine, but I really like that Saban thought enough of this guy to want him on his staff.

This is a great point, he doesn't hire guys that can't get the job done. Especially on this side of the ball. And he hired him twice. LSU and BAMA.

I'm not going to lie or be in deniel, I am more pissed about the timing of this move moreso then he actually going to Tenn. But I will say this.....for you fans who think UT can now cherry pick Lance's recruit from Alabama to come up there, I can this with UTMOST confidence....forget it.

AJ McCarron: Lock to Alabama. He said and I quote, "The only way I am not at Alabama is if Nick Saban is not the coach." Forget about him.

Trent Richardson is already making plans to study the playbook with Mark Ingram. While he and AJ are taking a trip up to UT, that is, IMO, more the kids getting one last trip in the recruiting moreso the legit interests.

DJ Fluker basically told LSU---his hometown favorite as a kid---to go fist themselves as he is 100% committed to Alabama.

Nico Johnson is a lifer Bammer fan. No chance.

The ONLY player I could see Tennessee getting from Bama is Tana Patrick.

I'm not personally worried about any losses. TR and AJ are silly, considering they are offensive players and would have little contact with Thompson, even if he were at Bama. If I thought any single prospect might be swayed, it would be Tana. Thompson is walking a tightrope here. If he moves to UT, recruits move with him, he's in deep doo-doo, indeed, if contacts were made when he was at Bama. He'd be flirting with career-ending stuff. Recruiting doesn't have much in the way of ethics, but this move has to be one of the dirtiest moves I've seen in recent years. Stealing recruits would be the sealer. Just when it seemed that relations with UT might smooth out a bit...

Notice the bold face print. Lance Thompson has to walk a tight rope now. Getting Thompson doesn't really help UT for recruiting this yr, it is more for next yr and beyond, (or however long he stays).

I am very confident that Tennessee will not steal any player from Bama, but I do see at least one UT getting. I know you guys are going to think I am denial, but perhaps if you get out of cloud 9 and realize the truth, the truth is...Lance Thompson is a great recruiter, I am not arguing that, but Nick Saban IS THE BEST RECRUITER in the game today. LT is what Bama calls the "Point man" in which he makes contact, it is Nick Saban who closes the deal on recruits.Nick does NOT lose players he wants to another team. The players you are dreaming about getting now, you guys have no shot at getting.

The bottomline is: recruits don't sign with schools because of "assistant coaches" they sign with the school and the head coach, and let's face it...you're a recruit who would you rather sign with....Nick Saban or Lane Kiffin? Can on...Homerism aside, Lane ain't in Saban's league. This hiring hurts Bama, but doesn't damage their recruiting.

Hell, even I am slowly but surely getting on the CLK bandwagon. :)

Did you say "utmost" confidence? I think you said "UTmost" confidence :good!: BTW...Do you truly believe Saban is in Monte's league? cough, cough Monte is only an assistant *wink* and will b*tch slap Saban and send him back to Michigan State...watch!

I'm not sure if some of the posters are being sarcastic or are just downright unintelligent, but I can tell you that the majority of us would certainly agree with your entire post. One of the best from another team's fanbase in a long time. All those AL recruits are pipe dreams as far as I'm concerned. I would be shocked and extremely excited if we got Tana. The truth is we were too late to the recruiting game this year and are lucky to be generating any visits from some of these blue chippers. But it is certainly a strong move for the future in my opinion..

by the way I think most of us would agree that Saban is one of the top coaches in college football...probably the best in my opinion.

What about Lane+Monte+Orgeron and Thompson? Players recognize that they will have an opportunity to be coached by the best in respect to their position.

Ah...a Bammer has spoken. How's life at the Capstone lately? First you lose Steele, and now Thompson...the short lived "flash" is starting to crumble. Is probation lurking next?:popcorn:

Before you post idiotic things like this you should take a look at some of my other posts. Right here I would typically go into my background as a lifelong UT fan but you aren't even worth it. Nothing I said was a negative to UT at all. Some of the people who post here have reading comprehension skills that elementary school children would laugh at.

Any CEO will tell you "You are as only as good as the people around you"...sorry Cooter...this applies to Saban as well and CLK is punking him at surrounding himself with superstars!

Am I the only one that finds those two statements a bit contradictory? I mean, seriously...

Does anyone think this means we might also now have a shot at Tana Patrick? LB out of Alabama, most think (or thought) he was a Alabama lock....does this help us any? It's going to be hard for any team (except us) to lock in a new coach before signing day....we just created a little uncertainty for Bama LBs....and everyone else.
