I mentioned this somewhere. He will be on his 7th OC this weekend. 12 years now? I'd have to look.

@Justneedme81 keeping track of OC/DC changes? Good luck!

I'm gonna copy and paste what I find each day

@alabama mike Just my thoughts on Pittman but I believe so much of his hype as an assistant came from his recruiting while at UGA. His OL the last couple of seasons at Arky have been abysmal!

And his first year or so at Arky...
Really tough and competitive....
Lately...ummmm...not so muchso

There's an option to set a time limit on edits/deletions. When we switched servers and I combined the usergroups...good possibility that went back to a default: likely 24 hours. I'll look at it later if you'll remind me...gotta finish up the book this morning.

Agree, they have been less than good. As the head coach, he has no one to blame but himself. He was an excellent recruiter.

Anyone think A&M will pursue Dabo?

 

[Scrape&Search1032]

Anyone think A&M will pursue Dabo?

Possibly, but there's no reason Dabo should take that job. There's not much A&M has that would be a more appealing job to Dabo. It be career suicide in my opinion.... if he took the job.

I saw his name in the mix!

I don’t think that will happen to a serious degree, but he’d be perfect for their culture. He’d be out there leading the yell practices in overalls on Friday nights.

Would not put it past Dabo to act like he’s being courted though.

The sad part is, he actually would be out there in the overalls. Thats gold man, and 100 % correct.

Chip Kelly likely to be fired after this weekend

 

[TerryP]

Caught cheating as Charleston Southern...academic issues. Solid coach.

Reminds me...I liked the Mellow Mushroom when it opened in T-town.

There will be a number of coaches who get raises to keep them from the A&M job (similar to what A&M did with Jimbo to keep him from the LSU job). Any and all of them should take advantage of the situation.

As for Dabo specifically, he makes too much at Clemson to make him a viable candidate at A&M.

Kelly did a nice job building Oregon there for a few years, but man, he’s struggled to duplicate that success. Can’t really get close.

Kelly hasn't really adapted to fit today's scheme. He's like Gus.....
