    Wait what’s the sick kid story? I missed that...

    From IT:

     

    "Imagine preaching family, but then when a player of yours is sick you call his house to not check up on him, but rather to see how his brother’s recruitment is going."

    Nah, I don't think the players would give one shit about that and likely wouldn't even know.  The sick kid thing would be more likely IMO

    Also, I may be misremembering, but I don't think that event occured this past summer. I think it was closer to when he originally came on board.

    Did they ever disclose the off the field event that happened this summer/season that caused Herman to lose all remaining support in the admin? Remember that teasing that late last year.

    No idea, but I would bet some money the "sick player" house he called to check on the brother's recruitment belonged to one Blake Brockermeyer.  It would definitely piss a parent off if Luke was indeed one of the players that caught Covid this summer....

    Assuming its Golding for DC, would people rather (i) Golding try to bring Karl Scott with him or (ii) assuming he doesn't have better offers, make Tosh the non-playing calling Co-OC.?

    Not sure how unnecessary Gideon becomes if we have Joseph, Scott, and Banks on board.

    If things go as planned, Gideon is going to be the young up and comer coach that works his way up the staff as others leave in the years ahead.

    Absolutely, and a lot of my fellow Texans fans on the social medias laughed when he got the Tennessee job, because of how bad the Texans defense performed. Sometimes you're a better HC than DC, and sometimes maybe you just have a bad year. 

    and sometimes Bill O'brien just ruins everything.

    did he really say this?  Anwar is into fan fiction in a big way I guess.  give me a fucking break that a guy would do that.

    No idea, it's possible.  Some people get arrogant and take the "hey you want me" approach to a job interview.

     

    I have legitimately set in on an interview group where the 1st thing one candidate said was "Hey just so you know, the chick who would be my secretary if I take this position...isn't attractive enough..ya'll will have to do something about that if I come here."

     

    And I don't work in some big business law firm or marketing firm or something like that. Schmuck was interviewing for a government job.

    Is BOB so much of a sick nobody wants to work with him or did Saban tell them all he is rotating next year and if something comes up worthwhile, take it with my blessing because next year will be a shit show.

     

    I can’t figure out why many staff members are leaving. Bama sites are saying Wiggins, Huff and the DB coach all have offers elsewhere right now as well...

    I have one Bama friend who I guess is fairly connected and he claims this isn't a surprise in the program.  Banks was a surprise yes, but not the others.  It isn't a Saban thing according to him, a lot of the Staff came to Bama to get paid and get a ring. Now that they have a ring they are ready to get paid again.  Also, according to him, BOB wasn't gonna be a good fit with some of the staff that is leaving, specifically Flood as OL is what he claims. Not sure if he meant BOB wants someone else or the blocking schemes or what.  Also says that anyone thinking Golden leaving is a positive is out of their mind, Bama doesn't play 2008 SEC offenses anymore.

    I got an invite last week for one tomorrow morning. I don't know where that qualifies me and what will be said, but if there's anything interesting that isn't expected to stay off the public boards, I'll try to post about it. 

    Ya'll gonna get the "opportunity" to assist with recruiting efforts at The University of Texas lol.  I kid.....though part of me does have this vision of Sark doing his best impersonation of Huey Long, thanking ya'll for your kind donations in advance.

    I'm fine with going on record saying this is the only hire I'm concerned about (if it does come to fruition). This would be the closest to buddy buddy, comfort hire of anyone Sark has brought on board. I don't think he's a bad DC but Bama didn't exactly light it up on that side of the ball this season. Is he comfortably or even objectively a better DC than Ash? 

    Maybe I have a little battered wife syndrome going on with all of the terrible DCs we have seen come and go since Boom (and all of the scoreboard fucking OU has done to us the past 20 years).

    He ran a pretty good defense for the offenses they played.  Plus, and this is a positive considering defensive reps and such, he already knows how to handle his defense practice with Sark's offense and still keep it playing effective defense.  I don't consider this a buddy hire.  In all honesty, I think once Muschamp took his name out of it, Golding is as good as any of the other possibilities.  I think he is an upgrade over Ash(who I think did a decent job this year) and on par or better then the other legitimate candidates that have been mentioned.

    Dan Quinn and Muschamp weren't happening, so I am happy with him given the alternatives.

  10. So still no confirmation on Wiggins other than CTJ's friend saying he was coming? Or was that Banks?

     

    I guess we can actually truthfully use the "time to see what this fully operational battlestation can do" line we thought we could use when Herman was hired.

    Yes, but most fans here did not approve. (regarding Casey Horney)

    Most fans here wouldn't have cared if he had made the difference in us beating OU routinely like a drum.  Most on here are all hopped up for Banks to come be a TE coach and drop bags when apparently he is an unapologetic adulterer who told his exwife he didn't want anything to do with their kids (according to CTJ).  Whatever garbage with NCAA issues for Pruitt seems small potatoes compared to the scumbag Banks sounds like he is.

    You are no TexasRenegade, sir. You should change your handle to TexasChoirboy. Maybe TexasGeezer. Not sure. There are a few options, I guess.

     

    The term renegade has nothing to do with behavior...my name is certainly not some claim that I live some crazy lifestyle.  It has a meaning and a reason but nothing to do with any of that.

     

    Though I guess I do betray the principles of many who post on Surly so there you go....

    I’m not even a boob man- which is a shame bc my wife has a huge rack- but those boobs are so spectacular that it overrules everything else about that package and makes it a must bang. Seriously, they are spectacular. 

    Putting a ring on someone else's finger pretty much ends the entirety of the idea of a must bang.
