  1. Don't they already have a lot of cap space right now? Not sure why they would need more. Not many big names even still out there
  2. Yeah that is very surprising. Basically pointless at that level, wouldn't be a problem for any big program. Gives Sark all the leverage in any future negotiations.
  3. Most of Surly the past two years: Sark sucks, fire him! Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot! Most of Surly after one top 5 finish: You're a pussy if you don't think it's smart to give him a deal at the same level as multi-title winning coaches like Kirby! Y'all need to stop riding the roller coaster so damn much. Year 1 was too soon to judge him but claiming he's a slam dunk now because of one year is also foolish. He definitely deserved a big raise and 10 isn't crazy, but history has shown that long-term fully guaranteed deals based off one good season are not wise. Regardless - idk if this means it is fully guaranteed, hence the original question. Will also be curious to see what the buyout is if he were to leave. Hopefully it's a lot higher to help prevent renegotiating again soon.
  4. So is it all fully guaranteed? If so, we just gave him a fucking Jimbo contract...
  5. Looks like BoB is getting the most public buzz for the BC job right now. That would actually seem like a good hire for them and makes sense given his Boston ties
  6. That's what I want to know. What about Red Bull for Perez? Although I saw somewhere that Sainz/Verstappen didn't have the best relationship when they were teammates. He'd win a lot more races at Red Bull but obviously be clear #2. Mercedes would be interesting. Sauber/Audi seems like a big risk. He'd be #1 but their car sucks at the moment, no chance of winning races. Aston Martin would be cool if they could ditch Stroll but that'll never happen because pops owns the team.
  7. The glass dick? Sorry, couldn't help it. But yeah this sucks. Do we even have a GM? Seems odd that he'd leave
  8. I watched about a minute of one of those interviews someone posted and Baker came across very well. Definitely seems charismatic.
  9. Defensive coach, not ideal for Bijan. Also yeah like others said, wtf are they thinking. At least this means Slowik likely staying in Houston
  10. This is definitely the most surprising hire Sark has made so far but it could end up being a great one. There's nothing saying the guy is bad, there's just not much saying he's good either. Very limited track record either way. The Choice comparison is silly but actually this hire isn't all that far off from Chris Jackson, who only had 4 total years of coaching experience (all NFL, 1 on defense, 2 as assistant WR coach). Granted, Jackson had a long playing career too. Now we just have to hope hope the new Special Assistant - Defense can help coach both the secondary and DL..
  11. I choose to believe Matt Zenitz screwed this up and Baker is actually joining as an analyst
  12. One thing is for sure - hiring an unknown like this shows Sark really has some stones on him
  13. I bet Rod Wright is looking a lot better to everyone right now..
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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
  18. Wonder if Mack has enough Texas loyalty to provide that proof if Bama actually does push some UT investigation
  19. 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.
  20. I agree. Another thing to consider is maybe we aren't as concerned about losing WRs because they are always available in the portal.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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
