Not to quibble, but I remember Albert Means at 80k. Cam Newton was 200k, I thought, and Waddle was definitely 200k. I'm not sure there's a magic ceiling. 

My understanding on the gentleman’s agreement is that you don’t get to outbid the team whose recruiting grounds you are hunting in. You can match but not best the payola.

All these years later and I still have no clue why the fuck he was at Denny's.

No idea but I did hear he failed to catch the early bird special.

Did I read that Nahlin update on Banks wrong, or did something else happen that you guys are referencing as if the possibility is over?

The Nahlin update came before the FootballScoop report

Its a bit of a gut punch - he was the assistant I was most excited about.

Curious to see what names get mentioned, if any, outside of the obvious.

Flood was my personal favorite of the names, and he's apparently happening, so hallelujah.

TE I'm genuinely curious who his backup choice is. Great spot for a rainmaker guy.

So the the footballscoop report is the "did something else happen?" I mean obviously I'm asking because I have no clue and missed something. 

 

edit: quick twitter search and I found it that it's expected he remains at Bama. Boo

Especially if you’re keeping a non-rainmaker at RB coach. Drayton was a better volume recruiter under Urban. I wonder if his recruiting will improve some if the HC requires more of him. Herman seemed pretty terrible at managing his assistants’ recruiting.

Here are some names I'd keep an eye on:

 

Larry Porter - Auburn

Tim Brewster - Florida

Joey McGuire - Baylor

My bigger attraction to Banks was taking his Texas recruiting away from Bama.....he is far more replaceable to me then Flood for this staff.

Yes, IT is backing off of Banks, and the footballscoop report is the 2nd data point that Banks is staying. Sucks because I was getting excited about Banks wrecking shop in Texas for Texas, but Brewster would be a great consolation prize as would McGuire.

McGuire was on a Jeff Traylor-esque career trajectory before that DWI happened. Now he's slumming it at Baylor. Crazy how fate can intervene.

At the time he was going through a very rough divorce where the only time he saw his kid was at school.

Cmon. This isn’t hard. It’s Brewster. It’s always been Brewster.

Is Brewster legit or is this just the annual new Coach is gonna bring Brewster back to Texas and we are gonna get all the recruits speculation?

 

Honest question, I don't know if he and Sark have any kind of connection, which seems to matter more in coaching hires then fans realise.

He's always a legit coach/recruiter and you have to bring him up EVERYTIME that Texas has a coaching search for his position.

Saban wasn’t going to let Banks go with out a fight, Flood is Sarks guy, Banks isn’t and it looks like Saban won that battle.

The Banks news is probably why we've been hearing Gideon rumors

Gideon coaches DBs not TE. Special team wise it makes sense but I think they will hire a DC before they worry about STs or DBs

I'm not gonna be Doom and Gloom on the banks stuff yet, and we got as close to a yes on Flood. So far its a win in my book, I still think it could be Banks, or we could bring in other recruiting witches at that spot.

Go get McGuire.
I know about Brewster but don't know a lot about McGuire.

Anyone who has strong feelings about the two, who should we want more? Why? Are they equally good gets, or one significantly better?

Yeah I was referring to Banks as ST coach and Sark might be trying to get Gideon to do that if he works as a DB coach as well.  His ST do kick ass

Revamped:

 

QB - AJ Milwee

RB - Stan Drayton

Co-OC/OL - Kyle Flood

WR - Holmon Wiggins

Co-OC/TE - Tee Martin

 

BOOM!

Is this a hopeful list or felt to be confirmed by the 9.95ers?

Honest question - is the Flood hype all tied to his 2 years at Bama or has he done anything beyond that? All I see is Rutgers which isn't too exciting. Bama can distort the picture with their athletic advantages

His time at Rutgers was pretty fucking exciting if you watch football.

Gerry Hamilton has a Louisiana source who thinks Raymond is still in play, regardless of Muschamp.

I'll believe it when I see it.

If we can get Corey Raymond, we need to do so asafp. Any potential dc that wouldn’t be ok with that shouldn’t be hired just because of that.

He did take Rutgers to 3 bowl games, so there’s that.

He was the OC/OL coach at Rutgers under Schiano.  That line was really good.

No way Saban would let his OC, OL, WR, and TE coaches all leave at the same time. Unless whoever his new OC is would demand his own staff, just seems like way too much turnover for Alabama

But seriously, I wouldn't expect it either, though I know we've been told he was high on Alabama at one point. Not sure how that intersects with Sark and/or anyone he would bring from Bama, and if it were just more a Saban/Bama success attraction.
