Alabama/LSU Formula For Winning

Kirby Smart has been real SMART. Along with his great coaching/recruiting ability, he understands the VALUE of listening to the likes of Nick Saban.

He is one of three assistant coaches making more than $1 million in college football this season, along with Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris and LSU defensive coordinator John Chavis. LSU offensive coordinator Cam Cameron will join the million-dollar club in 2014, when his salary jumps to $1.3 million.

Kirby has been approved for another raise. Makes sense to me when I look at the bottom line, and that is . . . . WINNING FOOTBALL. Crystal to prove it. More than once.

Two of the teams that have been dominating in SEC football circles, Alabama/LSU understand what it takes to make the football program work. Call it anything we want, I call it an investment in the one program (football) that allows the salary numbers to work for the entire college and communities they are located in.

Recently UGA gave raises to our coaches. Numbers are much different that those above. I also know as most of you do that the University of Georgia is not one of the colleges that has a money problem.

Anyone that thinks coaches and others linked to the football program don't know what is going on around them, don't get the picture.

Found it very interesting that AM had to say publicly that UGA needs an indoor facility. Recruits like seeing "complete" facilities also. Some play the game of football to win championships, others play to win enough to keep the dollars moving through the turnstiles.

My opinion . . . . again.

The above paragraph in bold I picked up from Bleacher Report. The kind of reporting that the AJC is devoid of. Just saying . . . . First my butt. Amazing how many "clicks" that produces for the AJC folks . . . . FIRST . . . . WOW! So impressive.

Buc, was it a missprint I saw in the paper this morning, that Smart's raise is to $3.85 mil???

Very possible with our "fish wrapper".

Here is the real deal wlayton.

Fish Wrapper . . . . Did you say Fish Wrapper? Must be reading the AJC.

Figures....I know I read it right, almost fell out off my seat.

Buc.....we also have a "fish wrapper" here in Jax. They won't even print a correction.

Familiar with your paper Times-Union wlayton, read it on occasion, can't disagree with your point. Too many of the outlets for the average folks like us seem to think we fell off of the turniip truck in Georgia. Just saying . . . .

Here is a link that you might be interested in. Sorry to see the young man get hurt. Broken fibula is not an easy thing to return from, especially a running back. Wish the best for the young man.

Yeah, saw that this morning Buc.

A little surprised at how well he's been doing during in practices. Read where he's had 29 carries for 131 yards. He runs so upright I was wondering how he would actually do in the SEC.....sure the coaches at BAMA are making some corrections with his style.

Imo, you don't run straight up at the next level much less in the SEC.....you may get killed......or maybe a broken leg????
