    if we get Michigan's best DT(s) to transfer and then we roll into Ann Arbor and beat the wolverines, we need to start renaming buildings on campus, imo.

    we can change little field fountain to close to jumping fountain.

    seriously, thanks to everyone helping behind the scenes with the nil efforts.

    Did you try to post the worst picture of Littlefield Fountain ever taken?  If so, solid effort.

    I like the current times when our worries are, "But what if our nose guard is only a 320 pound NFL prospect and not a 360 pound Outland Trophy winner?  We might only be ranked preseason number 2 in the country instead of preseason number 1 if this isn't fixed immediately!"

    Versus a few years ago:

    "Look, all we need to have happen this offseason is for Swoopes to get a lot better at QB, Shawn Watson to completely change his offensive scheme and get a lot better at OC, a few of our lightly recruited 3 star true freshmen come in ready to start on the OL, Dylan Haines needs to surprise some people at safety, Breckyn Hager needs to gain 30 pounds of muscle, stop having games where we lose because 3 kicks get blocked, stop having games we lose because we mess up the coin toss and give the other team the ball both halves, stop losing games because we punt to the other team when we don't have enough timeouts to stop the clock, hire an assistant to be the "gameday" coach so Charlie Strong can focus on other things, maybe hire an actual athletic director this year instead of trying year 3 of an alum doing it on an interim fill-in basis like when one of the other parents has to cover a little league game, try to complete all assistant hires this year without requiring the President of the University to fly to some nobody from Tulsa's house and beg him at his front door to work for us, figure out how to replace the 10 guys we kicked off the team for weed, ... and figure out how to feature our playmakers, like Jake Oliver and Kyle Porter."

    Going forward, to build a breakthrough Twitter Bama 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely hardcore. This will mean working long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade.

    Bama will also be much more football-driven. Recruiting and roster management will still be very important and report to me, but those coaching football will constitute the majority of our team and have the greatest sway. At its heart, Bama is a football team, so I think this makes sense.

    If you are sure that you want to be part of the new Bama, please click yes on the link below:

    Anyone who has not done so by 5pm ET tomorrow (Thursday) will receive three months of severance.

    Whatever decision you make, thank you for your efforts to make Bama successful.

    Just spitballing here but maybe that's the thought process.  He knows he's borked from an NIL perspective so why not turn the roster over early in his tenure and try to instill the culture he knows how to win with?  It's been said repeatedly that 80-90% of the Alabama roster was there because of Saban and took less money in the process because they knew they'd have a genuine shot at the league.  Subtract Saban, $$, and add Deboer and you get a completely different dynamic.   He's obviously won with this approach before.

     

    Or maybe he's dumb as fuck.  Who knows.

     

    He's a very good coach. The question is whether rabid fans and donors at Alabama will give him the time and grace to build the program his way in a wholly singular coaching transition amidst a sea change in CFB? I'll be watching.

    It's pure Aggie. It goes all the way back to when they got rid of Gene Stallings. "Players were loafing. There was no discipline. The team was out of control. Now this new guy is a brass tacks, lunch pailin, tough SOB which is just what this program needs."

    Every. Fucking. Time. 

    It's the same pattern with their savior QBs who are now all neatly stacked under a bus hidden where the dead collies won't see them.

    ‘Member the practice reports (read: fanfic) of The Marine giving a wordless nod of approval to The Chief as aggy got “back to basics”?

    Same shit, different year. It’s so predictable and wildly entertaining with those nonces.

  6. Long-time mostly lurker from the Shaggy glory days. The Figurelli thread on Shaggy will probably never be beaten in sheer terms of laughs per post, absolutely scathing hilarity. I've since found nothing as funny on the whole of the internets.

    The problem you're addressing here stems from most active users enjoy the on-the-margins, zero fucks essence of this site. Attempting to build content to appeal to posters who actually like having steep barriers to entry for new users will always prove to be a difficult catch 22. This site is the Cool Hand Luke of the sports web, and it will always have a failure to communicate to a broader audience. 

    But while I have you, thanks for running this inscrutable, multitudinal beast of a forum. It's been a blast.
