| FTBL Belichick in Tuscaloosa in April...amazing move by Saban
- Thread starter TerryP
- Start date
Just thinking about this...
Tell me, do you think that high school coaches just might want to hear what Belichick has to say about coaching?
Do you think they might just want to hear what Dees has to say about the NE defense?
Or, considering we are going to have a few battles with UGA in our recruiting next season do you think it's just a coincidence that Vince Dooley is the key note speaker?
Which program, in the state, is going to have a lot of media attention focused on it? Perhaps, the one with a 3 time Super Bowl winner speaking?
Beautiful move on Saban's part!! I wouldn't be surprised to see, once again, the football program getting national media attention...for a freakin' coaches clinic!!!!!

I think this is great for the program.
I think this shows Saban's commitment to the Alabama program. Maybe it goes without saying, but I think Saban CLEARLY views EVERY HIGH SCHOOL COACH in a 5-state area as a developer of future National Championship winners for the University.
I have long thought that one of the secrets to success at Alabama is to develop talent at the high school level... especially in metro Birmingham and Mobile. In the old days, we used to pull dozens of players from these areas... not so much the last ten years.
The key, IMO, is the coaching in these areas. Getting a coach into Vigor or Woodlawn or wherever that can develop talent will only help Alabama.
Saban is absolutely showing a commitment to Alabama high school development... and that will lead us back to being the team of a decade coming soon.

I'm sure it'll get mentioned by the print media, probably by a few of the fans of the other schools in an attempt to cloudy the waters...but, I can assure you it won't be something that would be a difference maker in the eyes of high school coaches.
I certainly don't see any recruits we are after thinking about spygate, but I do see them thinking about the 3 rings all in relation to Belichick, Saban and Alabama.

That's a great move. Despite some controversy surrounding BB,and I really dislike him, but this is a positive play on Sabans part. Terry's right,there maybe a mark against BB ,but the coaches will be all ears when it comes time for him to speak.
The media will play it up and some down but regardless,we will be getting some exposure.

The list of BBs accomplishments at the pro level plus the high level of respect he has achieved from other coaches, media and younger atheletes will supercede Spygate. Most also, are aware that BB was NOT the only one guilty of this practice but was the one caught with his hands in the cookie jar..

I hate to say it, but I really don't have much respect for Belichek since the whole "spygate" thing began. It's starting to look like he has been doing this crap for a long time and it belies a character flaw.
If I were Saban I wouldn't have invited Belichek, but since he did he should stick by him. I understand that the two worked together and all that but I don't think we need any more negative press than we already get.

Here's what kills me about spy-gate. EVERY TEAM IN THE NFL TRIES TO STEAL SIGNALS!!!!!!
Linebackers and defensive lineman spend the ENTIRE week before a game looking at tapes on the opposing QB and center to try and get an edge on the snap count, which is perfectly legal. IT'S THE SAME THING AS RECORDING SIGNALS!!!

Whether anyone likes it or not Belichick is one of the best minds in football today. I don't care much for this spy gate bunk, and I was actually pulling for the Pats in the Super Bowl. Great move by Coach Saban in the end.
