🏈 With the new coaching hire, set your emotions aside before passing final judgment...

...it'll likely save you anxiety, disappointment, whatever.

There are solid enough reasons behind Saban's decision.

Note to self: Chill out, Saban's got this.

Oh god... im guessing this is not going to be a popular decision...

I'm good with it.

It'll be discussed and some will object.

There's no way around it considering how overblown some fans personal sense of morality can be.

I'm trying to figure out if you're talking about OC or LB Coach (or both)? The names I've heard are Nussmeier as OC and Nix as LB Coach... i haaaaaate the idea of Nussmeier and kind of indifferent to Nix, his Defense at Ole Miss was pretty awful but how much of that is lack of talent (prolly alot). Nussmeier just doesnt seem like his offense would fit at all, hes used to those QBs that can scramble around and create more so with their legs and it was a pass heavy offense right? I know Polk was a great Tailback for them but I saw Washington as more of a spread, maybe im wrong but regardless, in Saban we trust.

 

[TerryP]

Defense.

TP, if it is indeed who you say it is. Then it all goes back to recruiting. Because we all know he can land the talent.

I'm fine with it, but you don't think he's burned a few bridges, recruiting wise?

 

[rammerjammer]

IDK.. I guess we are about to find out. If memory serves me correct he was over the Mobile area, which was when we landed the likes of Julio,Barron,and those guys out of that area.

 

[ElephantStomp]

I figure if this person had done anything that would his recruiting abilities he wouldn't be getting looked at by Saban

 

[It Takes Eleven]

True.

 

[TerryP]

I'm fine with it, but you don't think he's burned a few bridges, recruiting wise?

Even though we refer to it as one area, in a literal sense we have to separate it into two different recruiting zones. As an analogy—and consider the irony in this city as an analogy—it's a lot like Memphis in that you have to separate that city in two categories: inside and outside the loop.

There are some schools in that area Jeremy Pruitt can do very well, and he has. There's also some schools that require a bit of a different type of recruiter; personality wise.

Don't be surprised if Tennessee linebackers coach Lance Thompson ends up in Tuscaloosa.

[ElephantStomp]

I don't believe Lance is coming back.

 

[Kirk Van de Graaff]

You never know.

 

[ElephantStomp]

True. I'm not part the Saban circle, so Lance could be back, but I don't think he is

Great, you know when someone tells you to "calm down" it's gonna be bad.:shock:

I've been gone all weekend and totally out of the loop. I was actually supposed to be in Huntsville all weekend on a layover. Believe it or not I bid it to take my kids to Space Center and to shop for national championship items. Then, out of the blue when my family is already at the airport to come with me Delta reroutes me to freaking New Hampshire! Ugh, needless to say there was no national championship stuff there.

OK, I'll try to handle the bad news about our hire without freaking out. No guarantees though.:smile:

 

[XXL TideFan]

I have complete faith in CNS. I fretted over the McElwain hire and see where that got us. I no longer sweat recruiting and staff hires since then.

 

[gregkelley]

If saban says he is the man for the job i have faith in him.:a:
