  1. I bet Rod Wright is looking a lot better to everyone right now..
  2. SIAP but what about Clint Hurtt as a possibility? He may be waiting for the HC hire to see if he still has a job. Obviously a Pete Carroll connection there.
  3. I'm not even ready to assume he loses a bunch of games next year. He seems to be assembling a good staff, he's a good coach himself, and that roster is still loaded with talent. Plus I assume he will pull some transfers in before the season starts. If he can figure out the QB situation (big if), I expect Bama to still be a top 10 team next year.
  4. What's the scouting report on Niblack? How are his blocking and his hands? I watched a highlight video and he looks faster than Sanders but also looks a little unnatural catching the ball. Of course they don't show drops on a highlight vid though so idk.
  5. Honestly the NCAA investigating anyone for tampering at this point would be hilarious. So much of it going on and it's blatantly obvious when you see people enter the portal and the reporters IMMEDIATELY know where they're going. Examples - Downs, Riley Leonard, Sam Hartman, Jordan Addison, AD, and many many more
  6. Wonder if Mack has enough Texas loyalty to provide that proof if Bama actually does push some UT investigation
  7. I don't really understand their complaints about Bond. Wasn't the portal closed for him until Saban retired? And then he entered the portal immediately. If we did tamper, apparently we didn't go it well enough to get him to leave until Saban retired.
  8. I agree. Another thing to consider is maybe we aren't as concerned about losing WRs because they are always available in the portal.
  9. Jeez I didn't expect this much attrition either. Wonder where Proctor will end up, that will be a expensive one. Seen a few rumors on twitter that Jaheim Oatis may enter. That would be a nice add if we could get him.
  10. Kinda doubt the OC maybe getting another job would delay an announcement for an assistant DL coach. That's a lot of what-ifs away from being something relevant. Who knows though. Interesting side note I just read on his Wiki - after two years as an assistant for the Redskins, Slowik worked as an analyst for PFF for three years before joining the 49ers.
  11. I'd still maybe add Safety to that list. I know Mukuba or Barron will join that group but that still only leaves Taafe, Williams, and one of those two. Pretty thin there and Taafe/Williams need to get better if we're relying on them (which is possible, but still) Otherwise agree. Idk who is better at blocking which is crucial but I actually like Yurosek over Niblack in the short term. Yurosek missed games this year but had some monster production before that. An advantage with Niblack is that he has more eligibility left though. Can y'all at least click on profiles before you post this stuff? This is a random Texas fan making shit up
  12. SIAP but is Blackshire being brought in mainly for special teams? Only 25 tackles in 3 years at Bama so doesn't seem likely to play a ton of LB
  13. Wtf is tOSU thinking? I can't believe ATM's luck getting bailed out of their shit AD like that
  14. Fun fact - Tracy is the dad of Kumar Rocker, Rangers first round pitcher
  15. Why Norton? All I see is a 5th year senior with 30 tackles and no sacks. Couldn't get on the field at UGA. Seems like a pass to me.
  16. Yeah one of the recenet 9.95 updates was worded in a way that made me think it could be a situation like that. Probably can't apply to college teams but I also read the Falcons are blocking interview requests for Nielsen.
  17. Yeah but WR seems taken care of now. Added 2 starters, plus Wingo coming in and a year of growth from Cook, Moore, Niblett. Obviously the big caveat to all this is that we have no idea how much money everyone is requiring. Maybe Bolden doesn't require as much NIL as we'd think. And maybe Niblack or others require a lot more. Who knows.
  18. Add me to the "why spend NIL on another WR" camp. Would rather allocate that to Niblack or a DT. Also, I don't think Bolden would come here if he's just going to be a gadget guy like Keilan. He can get WR opps elsewhere.
  19. Michigan prob promotes Sherrone Moore and I bet they don't have many transfers. Regarding McMillan and others - some of y'all forget that money isn't unlimited and that each transfer we get takes chances away from young guys on the roster already. I'd love to see us get a TE and a DT but otherwise I'd be done in the portal. Maybe another safety and a "free" punter in case the freshman shits the bed.
  20. I would guess $9-10mm per year which is probably fair, I just hope we don't do some stupid full guarantee shit. And also we should raise his buyout.
  21. Deserved a raise but I hope we didn't get swindled into some sort of dumb Jimbo / Mel Tucker extension based on one successful year
  22. One of his sons plays for Vandy now right? Wonder if he moves to some cush, relaxed job there at some point. I assume any role there is basically an early retirement lol
  23. Agreed. ATM should've tried to hire Lane for sure except the personality mismatch was way too high. Imo Lane has as good of a resume as anyone for a top tier job at this point. Getting Ole Miss to consistent top 10/15 through multiple QB cycles, staff turnover, etc, is very impressive.
  24. Lane is hilarious. I get why he may rub some grey hairs the wrong way but he's basically the closest thing we have to the GOAT Mike Leach now from a personality standpoint.
