THIS and THAT . . . .

In line with you Wartdawg.

Too much money in the early rounds of the NFL for these young folks to bypass.

sadlerdawg was spot on concerning this conversation on this board years ago.

Wiggle room in Athens will be tough in the 2017 Season, meaning there are a lot of folks on the edge of their seats when looking at the talent (again) in Athens. No 15 year contracts left for the coaches or . . . . athletic director. Cannot speak for Mahogany Row.

2017 Schedule . . . . Might be I should not say too much. Looking over the teams we play, thought we would win against some on the 2016 that we face again. Happens again in 2017, not going to be a pretty picture.

More this and that...

Paul Johnson can coach. I know he is the rival coach. . . They kicked UK butt.

If he could recruit like the smooth guys, would be trouble. He didn't even play college football. He is from same town as Tommy Berleson. I have worked up in those hills, good folk up there.

Buc....imo there will always be a "row". At every college....alumni with bucks....trying to buy power

and prestige... As years pass row less interest in wins..... only when cash cow burps as in empty

seats...do they think about changes..... Go Dawgs....

Another area that Nick Saban cleared up quickly in Tuscaloosa. Purse strings belong to him for one reason . . . . he delivers a "return".

CNS......ROI for the Tide is off the chart....as long as the seats are full and the donor money flows

He can receive anything he wants for the program....with sugar blessings......

Go Dawgs.......and Roll Tide .......

Lane Kiffin leaving Alabama, will not coordinate against Clemson.

One of the members on this board mentioned soon after the game between Alabama and Washington that Kiffin had not called a good offensive game. Agree with that.

Lane Kiffin cannot get it through his head that he is not "all that".

Nick Saban does not mess around when it comes to following the "process".

Alabama will be better off without Kiffin.

****************************************

Kiffin's response to leaving . . . .

"After meeting with Coach Saban during preparations last night and this morning, we mutually decided that it was in everyone's best interests for the players and the program for Coach Sarkisian to take over all responsibilities as offensive coordinator for the championship game.

****************************************

Guess Nick Saban did not want another x number of hours with Lane Kiffin on board.
