Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Full Roster Weaponization
Tex-19 replied to closetojumping's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
A lot can change between now and then but as of now my priority ranking would probably be: 1. iOL #1 2. iOL #2 3. iOL #3 4/5. 1 S and 1 CB (not sure which higher) 6. RB 7. LB 8. DT The good news is that a lot of those should be less expensive positions. Positions like OT, DE, WR, and QB would be way tougher. Interesting read on the subject - College football 2025: How much does each position cost? - ESPN -
Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Full Roster Weaponization

OL is obviously priority #1. The secondary is the biggest unknown. A lot of young talent but very little proven success especially if Jelani goes pro. Littleton would be the only guy you can really trust as of now. Probably need a CB and a S to hedge your bets but hopefully Kade, Black, Roberson, Jonah, Filsaime, etc step up. RB would be nice but maybe not as critical imo. Wisner, CJ, Simon, and Cooper would be decent with a better OL. Probably need a depth LB behind Smith/Lefau. Very little experience behind them as it stands. Maybe Spence plays more LB. Might also want to go to the well again for a plugger DT like Brevard/Shaw/Norton/Lole. -
The question was whether the risk is higher tomorrow versus 2 weeks from now.

If he clears protocol, does that mean zero extra risk of another concussion? Either way, I'm in the let him sit camp but doubly so if there is even an ounce of extra risk compared to waiting a couple weeks.

Dumb if true. Let the kid heal through the bye week. Probably needs a break from these beatings anyway

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?

I assume this is a bs source but the guy has a lot of followers and it would be a random thing to make up. Would make sense though. -
I know a couple who were having a baby around the same time and they saw Sark at the hospital/doctor a few times. I don't remember specifics but I want to say Sark's baby may have indeed had some complications (possibly premature?). My memory is fuzzy and I never got a lot of details so please don't take that as fact, anyone. But point being, yeah he had a lot going on.

Oh I'm not saying Bama should want him gone. I think he's a damn good coach. But objectively speaking, that fanbase had turned on him already. Hilarious example: Alabama Fan Says She’d Use Powerball Winnings To Buy Out DeBoer - Yahoo Sports It's highly unlikely but I'm just wondering if he could be pissed at how he's been treated there and open to a move. -
I don't think they're talking about the kid anymore. More about..uhh..reasons for missing 30 days in January. Things that may have plagued him at USC and UW perhaps... But idk, this thread is a confusing trainwreck. Probably time for nuking it.

Yeah he fucked up this offseason with this "NFL-style" experiment and not addressing the OL, but he crushed the two offseasons before that. If he is willing/able to admit the new approach failed, he can turn things around just by doing what he's already done. That's very different from hoping someone does something completely new. The only reason he'd be fired is if his personal life has truly spiraled to a point of no return, or if he insists on keeping everything the same (lax offseason schedule, weak portal effort, etc). No insight on the former. I highly doubt he'll leave the OL unaddressed again. I hope he's aware/humble enough to revert to the old offseason schedule but wouldn't be shocked either way.
-
I mean clearly he's had some shit go down in his personal life. Gossip aside, he did publicly announce a divorce and then end up with a new kid instead. Even if that's the full story, that's a lot to deal with (a new baby is a lot to deal with, period, lol).

What are the chances of someone convincing DeBoer to leave Bama? I assume things have smoothed over but definitely had a rocky start. Their fans were ready to oust him as recently as early this season. I wonder if he's happy there or could be lured away. -

This. Unless there are "off-field" things that can't be stomached, he will get a chance to right the ship. As he should. He is one year removed from being widely considered a top 5 coach. This offseason was a cluster that burned this season (not addressing the OL, weakening the offseason practice schedule, etc), but he can revert back to his previous approach that worked well if he has the self-awareness to do so. -

Kinda interesting - BetOnline has Jon Sumrall as the early favorite for LSU, followed by Joe Brady and then Kiffin. Brady seems like he prefers NFL but damn, how can you turn down one of these massive guaranteed college coach contracts especially at his age. He'd be set for life and could always go back to the NFL later. Speaking of NFL coordinators, I wonder if Todd Monken gets looks from anyone? He did well as OC at UGA and as HC at Southern Miss a while back -

The crazy thing about this carousel is the lack of proven candidates. Kiffin is basically the only guy who's done it at multiple schools and/or an extended period. You could argue Drinkwitz or Cignetti. Maybe Satterfield but he wasn't very good at Louisville. Who else - Fisch? Mullen? Sumrall? The other hot names, Key, Lea, Dillingham, have had 1 good year. Full stop. Joe Brady appears in a bunch of articles but he, like Kliff, is probably an NFL HC soon. Complete side note - Jeff Choate is 1-7 this year. Another one (unfortunately) on the hot seat.
