Herman did more to send those guys to Bama than Sark. Herman may win the reverse recruiting championship this year.
No. It was the rumors of him being fired. He had 3 very good classes. This year at 17, OU had a very good class. That's who we lost players to this year. Alabama got a couple, but they get a couple anywhere they want.

On the positive side, Sark is supposed to be beloved by his players. And the UT players almost uniformly despised Tom and I bet a bunch more were hitting the transfer portal during the offseason.
They loved McWilliams and Strong too. Does anybody love Saban?

Fuck all of the raging pussies in this thread. WE ARE GOING TO WIN
7 games a year. Yes, he will be better than Charlie.

It’s funny watching people look at his win-loss record and that’s the level of nuance they put into their analysis. He took over a winless Washington team and a USC team under major NCAA sanctions. At one point he only had 50 or 60 scholarships to use. He did miracles under the circumstances.
He is an elite recruiter who will hire plus coaches. The downside has nothing to do with his capacity to recruit and coach. He has more upside in that capacity than anyone this side of Meyer on our list. The downside are his personal demons. Not his ability as a coach.
5 years and the best he did was 8-4. Chris Peterson took them to 3 straight NY6 games a couple years after Sarkisian was out of the way. USC also did better after Sark was gone.

My first thought as well.
And I am okay with that because what has been going on for a decade is not good enough.
Is he really? Seeing how Alabama has adapted should give hope.
Alabama has more talent and more depth than anyone in the country. Only Clemson, Ohio St. and Georgia are even close.

This is either going to be amazing or absolutely terrible. There is no in between.
Well there's David McWilliams and John Mackovic. He's not necessarily going to be as bad as Charlie Strong. But there's no reason to think he will be as successful as Fred Akers, Mack Brown or Tom Hermann. Absolutely no reason.

What in the chicken fucking hell? I guess that CDC has taken leave of his senses.
He forgot that part of his job was selling Big Cigars, not kissing their feet.
Fire CDC! Fire Plonsky!

yeah, uh, leach with a fucking terrible take there. like, I've lost all respect i had for him. he had players group stomping a guy on the ground. fuck you, leach.
Did you ever have any respect for him? Other than the kicking on the ground, #4 seems like Leach's personality to a T.

It looked like the MSU player(25?)at the bottom of the screen threw the first big punch that started it all. he jumped over someone to throw it.
I thought he was #5, but that's what I saw as well.

Yeah shitty take by Leach. But he probably has not seen the footage and thinks it's just another skirmish.
If the Cloak Room gets boring in coming weeks this will give me something to be outraged about!
That said there needs to be some serious repercussions.
If I'm an SEC coach, I don't want that #4 playing.

He just kicked the dude in the helmet and ran off like a bitch.
Leech should have just stayed in Washington. The luster is gone there
What happened to #1 from Tulsa? I missed it
And then later after the guy ran off after being surrounded by a half dozen MSU guys who pulled off his helmet, he runs up and sucker punches him in the back of the head.

What was with that interception return? Run 50 yards cross field and go out of bounds to avoid contact? Lower your shoulder and try to run through the WR and go score.
Receivers tend to do the same things nowadays. They aren't football players.

Given the way he plays, I think Sam has definitely been playing with some sort of injury a lot of the time. It probably has affected his passing (depending on the particular injury). But why would Tom press him to play given what we saw Casey do last night and what Herman has said they see Casey do consistently in practice?
Ehrlinger and Herman have talked about him being banged up. They were thankful for that off week. It was clear late last season and most of this season he didn't have the "pop" he had earlier. He runs a lot and takes a lot of hard hits. He gets banged up in the season.
Even if he is the 12th QB in the draft, he should take the money and run. He has the body for the pros, but it only can take so many hits. He ought to get paid for it.

Got it. I thought that was another game they were referring to with the "are we gonna take our foot off the pedal" comment, and "let the coaches coach" retort.
Either way, I'm sure some words were exchanged. I personally like the punching wall or locker theory.
They were definitely talking about another time, not tonight.

Fuck it - ending the year with a win is a good feeling. Good vibes going into the offseason and I can walk into this aggy-infested office with a smile on my face today. Maybe we've got something with Thompson.
Hook 'Em and thank you, Sam!
And laugh when Mack Brown whips aggy again.

Ehlinger ran off the field ASAP at halftime and Thompson is in. Wonder if there’s something going on there. Or if Thompson was always the plan for H2.
I noticed that. It was odd for Sam. Looking at the replay, he was shaking his shoulder a couple of minutes into the 2nd quarter after a tackle. Wasn't a hard tackle, but people were on top of him.

Realignment of the SWC--in 1974.
Found this on another board. Good discussion of the travails of the SWC in the year before Grant Teaff's miracle on the Brazos.

Major joined his fellow Alabama analyst Butch Jones at Arkansas St. Major is OC and QB coach.
Good to see him get another shot.

That was an impressive win against one of his limpdick former assistants. However, as long as Clemson and Florida State (LOL) are still in the ACC, Mack Brown will have a very hard time sniffing as much as a conference title.
Bobby Bowden, Bob Stoops, Dabo Sweeney. Always has someone a lot better than him.

He also was player behind a more injured and horrible line than ours.
Which is probably why he is transferring. The beating he got was horrible.

Oh, ok I guess were not too far apart, I was pretty sick of Mack by the time he left, but with his NC and his current success maybe he needed a little more time - all i am saying
And Charlie Strong was an PC hire, It's been acknowledged by the man who made the decision
Nah. Mack needed a change of scenery. He's still capable. He just wasn't hungry here anymore.

What are you talking about. You had a bad take. Doesn't mean you have to be silenced. Mack absolutely should've been fired. He was mailing it in and left the program in horrid shape. It took several recruiting classes to reverse it.
Not saying anything about your Mack comment. He had become complacent. But it was Strong whose recruiting left things in horrid shape for Hermann.
