not good news and if offered and he does go, will Star look elsewhere, esp. since MA told him he wasn't going anywhere.

It is possible, only Star would know the answer to that... but if I were a betting man, I'd say Star still signs with BAMA regardless.

doesn't sound very threatning. Only opening is running backs coach? MA should stay put.

On the AU boards, this was reported last week, I have been waiting to see if it was true or not!

 

[SpecThis]

No offense to Mr. Applewhite.....

But I never really saw anything special about him during the 07 Season. We still ran the ball when we shouldn't had. We still sucked on 3rd downs. We still wern't anything special in the red zone.

If he stays...then i hope he has a huge turn around in 08...if not then he will need to be replaced anyways.

This coaching staff needs continuity and stability. I hope for the players sake he stays put at least another year. Why go from OC to running back coach? Major pay cut in salary, no pun intended.

Major never had complete control of the offense, so it isn't really fair to lay all of that on him.

Hey Porter, give me a percentage that he goes. TerryP, feel free to chime in.

 

[ColoradoTide]

There's another way to look at this: Because Texas is his alma mater, he can't very well dismiss them with a "no thanks" without at least the courtesy of hearing them out first. If only for respect for his former college.

Maybe...

I tend to think that once it's gotten to the stage of the university formally requesting permission to speak with someone that it's usually a foregone conclusion at that point.

 

[bamabarney]

Maybe if CNS give him complete control of the offense, he will stay on board. I've heard he and Pedry didn't see eye to eye on stuff and I think one person needs to make the calls, too many eggs in the basket isn't always good.

I think he's gone.

 

[Chuck-E-Cheeze]

That hurts me in my chestal region. I don't like what is happening here.

It'll be ok man.

Although this is disappointing news, for some reason it's not that surprising. It's got to take a strong man to deal with Saban.....and maybe MA isn't up to the task. A young guy with that much responsibility & pressure is likely to crack.

I say better he jump now than next year. I want him to stay, but if he doesn't think he's up to it, maybe he needs to take a less "stressful" position.

Hopefully Saban is already on the phone.

I don't think the pressure was an issue.

if he goes, will pendry just take over completely? or will we hire someone else to replace applewhite?
if so, who do you think we would hire? i just dont like this at all. like someone up top said, you need stability. i would just like to see a coaching staff stay around for a couple of years ya know, kind'a change up the pace a little bit.

 

[bamanaf]

I honestly think he's leaving to. Saban may possibly be droppin signs to him, who knows?

Pendry could take over, but I think Saban will probably bring in a new OC. Personally, that is what I'd prefer.

 

[mongo4bama]

I agree with Porter he needs tio bring in someone to run the show with some some spread capabilies knowledge in passing game.

Pendry probably will not be here for long so this OC needs to be it.

Saban has a list and a a short one at that who he wants and will come so it will be fine.
