I'm not really that big on doing an announcement for this.  All it does is potentially diminish PK and unless we are going to fire him(yes we should have), I don't want that.

Just pay Patterson handsomely to fix it.  Will be interesting to get his take on our S&C.

If we're hiring a hall of fame coach as an analyst, we should probably put that out there.

yes I know.  I wanted him fired.  we kept him and he has to recruit.  what is your point?

A release is fine.  no need for a presser.

[HenryJames 64901]

He's been in since late December, but they wanted to stagger the coaching hire announcements. Don't know why other than to troll you fuckheads.

[Hookem2147 20811]

I hope they don’t release anything, Sark gives Chip Brown the finger when asked during his next press conference and they let people continue to piss themselves thinking nothing is changing then BAM….Day 1 of spring ball Gary tweets out a single hook ‘em emoji.

my guess is they didn't want a bunch of questions about PK status on the trail and at other Sark pressers.

I hope they don't announce it ever even though Patterson is clearly at Texas. Like totally deny that it's Gary Patterson.

Like have him wear a fake moustache and shit.

[dcar00 13861]

I suppose Patterson was interning for Special Asst to Head Coach hoping it would turn into a full time gig.  wonder if he went to lunch with the other interns and GA's.

that never gets old.  the best part is it was the same game so he had some fake moustache in his office at the ready.

They can’t legally. The Bama analysts are caught on camera doing it all the time.

He used eye black stickers. I can't get the link to post because I am an old, but ESPN interviewed him on the 20th anniversary of the game.

About GP.

 

I think the guy below works in the AD.

 

Laundry Guy is literally a laundry guy for the team (supposedly). He posted a bunch of facility interior pics before they were public so seems legit. I also haven't seen him try to break any other "inside news" like typical trolls would.

Funny because of course the other posters are asking how many new staff members he'll need for GP's towels lol

[Davis Lane 5500]

In regards to GP, sometimes I get the impression this might happen.

[Tex-19 2868]

Idk if schools would typically do an official formal announcement for a hire like GP, but they would typically let the press know and have it reported more openly. Maybe they're just waiting for a better PR time. Agree that they should be getting that news out.

Didn't Sark say something akin to "we need to figure out if we wanted him?" I had always imagined it was difficult to swallow our pride and acknowledge that we needed his help . Something like this

Don't worry, some other school will feel the wrath of the NCAA for Bama's shenanigans.

NCAA does not fuck around when it comes to laying down the law....upon the smaller institutions.

I suspect Bianco will release a three or four paragraph statement about noon or 1pm revealing GP has joined the staff, using the job title in the legally required posting, Special Assistant to the Head Coach. It will include a brief platitude from Sark about Patterson’s experience and competitiveness, a gushing quote from Patterson about his respect for the program and Sarkisian’s brilliance, and a description of the role. I doubt there will be an on camera availability, unless the media can talk Bianco into it. TV people don’t come in before 1 (they work till 11) unless there’s a scheduled event, so a media scrum probably won’t happen before 2 or so, unless they’ve been tipped, and that hasn’t happened because we haven’t seen a tweet about one.

Analysts can be on the field or the booth. They can’t “coach” a player directly, but can certainly still talk to them. They can be involved in time out huddles. And in the offices or building, they can watch film or talk football at all times with players. 

Gary Patterson on the sideline next year  in huddle, rubbing his belly while staring at the sky..

"So if I were an LB, not that I am, on this next play I would fake a red dog and cover the flare. I'm not a coach and I am specifically not acting like one, just so everyone is aware.."

Curious to see what GP's gameday role will be. Does he take Gideon's spot in the booth next to PK, does he stand on the sideline, or neither?

Analysts can't watch film with players only.  They can't even be present at voluntary practices, workouts, or study.  They can generate film for players to study, but the analysts and players can only watch film together in team film sessions, and analysts cannot provide sport instruction during this time nor ever.

The rules aren't very bright line and often don't make sense.

so could they just add a voice over to the film and let the player watch it by himself?

Maybe Fat Gare can write "songs" for every occasion.  Kind of like those Faron Young BC Powder commercial jingles.  "Now you press your coverage and you take the long, and you take boundary and you take the strong."

It’s akin to them not being able to “coach” from the sideline, but give broad “encouragement” haha.

he is so good he lasted literally 1 season at both jobs!

Saban is processing him and the play calling is literally why they lost two games this year, with a better OC they win both games.

Not really. Losing their 2 best WRs and CBs cost them the Georgia game. Hell, if Williams had not blown out his knee, Bama likely wins that game. The passing game came to a complete shit show after that injury. It took Georgia a HT to adjust, and the run game was non-existent as well. I can see why Saban will probably look to bring in another couple of WR transfers because as talented as the kids are on campus they weren't very good when they needed to step up.

Or what?  The NCAA is gonna enforce rules now?  What the fuck ever.  I would call GP an “analyst” then put him on the sideline and let him act as a coordinator.     And if the NCAA says something I would tell them to fuck off.

[KeysPhoneWallet 807]

Coach’s coach right?

He’ll be like Stalin, a general secretary that sets the table. Telling the coaches what they need to emphasize and when. What they need to do with their plays, what they aren’t doing well, which players form the depth chart.

The man behind the man. Until he puts an ice pick through pk head while he’s on vacation in Mexico.

[dcar00 13861]

the only teeth the NCAA has left is show-cause penalty.  No coach wants that on their record.

the next time they try to give a bowl/playoff penalty or scholarship penalty, my guess is the school will tell them to fuck off and may potentially sue.

They also won close games vs Auburn, Arkansas, LSU, and Florida, and really should have lost the Auburn game at the very least. This was the worst Bama team in awhile, and the coordinators were a reason for that.

How often do teams make big announcements about non-coaching staff hires? 

How often are those non-coaching staff hires filled by long time head coaches of a conference foe that's had the on-field upper hand in recent years?

[RaysBoomBoomRoom 5741]

 

[RGBIII 22760]

GP probably doesn't want a big announcement because he doesn't want his statue torn down in Fort Worth just yet

[dieucla98 2767]

A statue that lopsided is just going to fall on it's own.
