guarantee coaches dont gaff

It all sorts itself out as long as you just keep winning.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

These things people are posting really pound home the weirdness and sickness of their gross relationship.

But it's a free country and they are adults, so just like with all the other freakshow perversions infesting modern society...I support their right to be as disgusting as they want.

I also support my right to be disgusted by them, and to say so.

Why is it weird and sick? I thought it was the American male dream?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I know it’s just 1 game

But Joey gave me 90s/early 2000s gunslinger QB vibes.

You hardly see guys like that anymore since coaches largely moved to more risk adverse passing concepts.

But I could see it in him. He ain’t scared. I bet he will throw us out of a game or two this year. But we might stand a chance against some better teams as well if he gets hot.

Dillon Gabriel was like that his Fr year at UCF...I remember all of their fans yapping about it....but he made the offense go when he came on after the older guy ahead of him couldn't run it effectively.

Why is it weird and sick? I thought it was the American male dream?

I wouldn't use the word 'weird' or 'sick'. But, for me, it's a terrible idea. Date? Sure. Marry? Nope. I don't need to be 'raising' anyone else's children. Such different phases in life not to mention the whole 'sugar daddy' dynamic.

$70million buyout…he could go back to Washington with an extra 70million in his pocket. In a couple of years

Money ain't everything, and to these big headed arrogant HCs I guarantee that DeBoer doesn't want to be remembered as the mehdiocre hack that drove Bama into the hell of mehdiocrity.

He was going to get paid 9.5 mil to stay in Washington, and probably could have stayed there for 20 years and left there a beloved legend....Alabama didn't beat them by much, and now he won't get another job in the 9 mil range after this disaster....so the buyout crap ain't as big a thing as you think it is.

Deboer took that job because he honestly believed he could break the streak of coaches following legends, and Washington wasn't BIG DEAL enough for him...his hubris has cost him what coud have been a great legacy.

It's definitely better than Bama, but it's absolutely not sunny in the summer. The "days of sun" statistic is misleading for Seattle (and in general, it's a hotly disputed stat). I've spent many summer days there over the course of many years, it's an incredibly dreary place even in summer but especially out of summer. It's almost an oppressive cloudiness that people who didn't grow up there often times can't tolerate.

But ya, anything is better than Bama except maybe Mississippi.

I've lived close to Seattle for the last 15 years and this is far from what I've personally experienced. Summers are basically 95% sunny days. Almost no rain, almost no clouds. In fact, it creates a significant risk of wildfire because of the annual drought during summer.

Winters are quite dreary though

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

He honestly had it made at Washington. The difference in salary between an elite job and a good job is not as stark as it used to be. Washington offered him about $9.5m/year to stay and he decided to go to Alabama for a little over $1m/year more (on average over the life of the deal). 20 years ago, Alabama would be paying 2 or 3x more than a school like Washington would.

Yep...I think he has a lot of arrogance and really believed he could buck the tradition of following a legend...but this wasn't just any legend, this was the author of one of the greatest long term streaks of pure dominance in sports history he wastryingto follow.

It is going to devour him.

This.

Why do people think DeBoer followed Saban and took the job? The guy wants titles and legacy. Knew he’d have more resources at Bama.

Deion still defending his clock management.

Zero accountability. Nothing is ever his fault.

big narcissist

 

[Jackcrevol]

It isnt like they cant snap their fingers and make that number change.

Penn State had been with Nike since 1993.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

What got me was the woods surrounding everything. The soldiers had to fight through all that deadwood, uphill, fallen trees, wait-a-minute vines, etc. with cannon shells falling all round, no modern tactics of move and cover, straight into the barricades set up by the defenders. The bravery of just doing that is staggering to me.

Wait until you go to Devils Den....in the words of John Bell Hood..."The worst ground I ever saw". There is a trail that meanders through the big rocks and along that trail are NPS storyboards with pictures taken after the battle on them, with the bodies of fallen soldiers as they were still laying on and around the rocks right in front of you...that actually broke me and it just did again remembering it 15 years later...

Prior to that, Sports Belle.

*not really

 

[RandomUTfan]

If you try to explain this to some Vol fans they get really angry at you. I don't get it. It's good news.

 

[Volbucky]

If they could they already would have.

 

[RandomUTfan]

This.

You can't really think he took that job for this and not the money. Have you seen the contract it took to sign him?

 

[Jackcrevol]

The AP poll is such a joke. How the hell is a one loss Bama still ranked above us? We both played unranked ACC teams. We won. They lost. We should have moved up several more spots after that performance.

yeti nonsense iyam

 

[butchna]

His talent was more than apparent at Appy St.

My take all along. Trying to outperform his supporting talent sometimes equals ints.

Job requirements require compensation. You don’t take on that lunatic fanbase on the cheap.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

My take all along. Trying to outperform his supporting talent sometimes equals ints.

And his team was always behind so they had to throw

Esp after the RB Noel and some of the best players from 2023 got poached

These media people had no idea what they were talking ab all summer and we all knew it.

 

[Jackcrevol]

A couple notable Basevol tidbits...

that thing is huge

 

[RandomUTfan]

Yeah....that's really working out great for Bama..

It's an irrelevant stat. How many top level transfers were never big time recruits? Outdated way of evaluating teams. Cheaper to buy HS players than to pay good players to stick around.
