Wonder how far back they're vetting? HR Lady is wondering, so do they want these files, or not?

All they have to do is Google “Petrino, trouble”

Now I'm sick!

 

[Justneedme81]

We hear a lot about other teams and personnels leaving, but we haven't heard much about Alabama. I would say we may see a change or two on the defensive side .

You know I'm glad we got Robert Bala this year to coach LBs, but God damm, Austin Armstrong has to feel like an idiot right now.

I doubt it. I doubt it. Everyone choose their own journey for their own reasons....

Why do you think he would feel that way? The way I see this, if he took the position coaching job at Bama his next career move would be a defensive coordinator position and a P5 school.

He probably would leave Alabama after one year anyway.

Because Billy Napier is still an unknown commodity. If he doesn't win 8 games next year, he is probably getting shit canned. Mr Armstrong will be known as a DC at a dumpster fire. And yes I'm well aware he coached with him at ULL.

I'm sorry my friend, I think there is a good chance he fucked up.

Nah. It was an upward move.

I still look at his resume and believe DC at UF looks a hell of a lot better then ILB coach at Bama. Especially when it comes to his bank account.

I get what you are saying about Florida. I don't put all of this at Napier's feet. I look at the "three M's" and see the shell of a program they left. Hell, might make it the "four M's."

Meyer, Muschamp, McElwain...and the final nail in that coffin; Mullen.

Not terrible for Dabo…

 

[rammerjammer]

Interesting for Luke. I figured he would stay retired. Younger kids.......10 million dollar buyout from Ole Miss. Invested correctly, that would last a life time. I think he will do well for Dabo.
