Proctor would be huge especially if they could get that center from UW

We don't want pay for play guys.
He brought in another QB was going to be like 6 in the room.
DeBoer is cooked already. You don't let a kid like Sayin leave. For optics alone.
Abandon ship.

If Dubose could have stayed out of the secretary pool and resolved the QB controversy, he could have made it.
I think it was Bob Knight that said “If you worry about optics you wind up sitting with the opticians”
The #1 QB in the class and the cornerstone of Bama's class. KD is the one who will end up sitting with the opticians. Took a kid with cankles over Sayin.
Are you getting defensive over a joke that actually has nothing to do with the situation?

If I had Saban's money, I would have what Burt Reynolds had done.

Yeah, that is more modern.
What ever Chuck is using is what you want. I'm sure it's made from the mane of lion that he killed with his bare hands.
Yuge win for the king
Deboer looking at Meechagan roster right now
Don't think he'll take a non HC job.

Word on the street is that he spent the past few weeks watching Georgia tape and decided that the SEC was not the right fit for him. It happens.
Funny I heard all he did eat laugh at the lack of DL in the seccg

SMART WILL NEVER forget his first interview with Saban in 2004 when Smart was up for a job at LSU as defensive backs coach. Smart was a graduate assistant at Florida State at the time, and his old pal Will Muschamp, then Saban's defensive coordinator at LSU, had vouched for him.
"I go on the interview, and I'm young and unassuming, and there are all these stories out there that if Miss Terry [Saban's wife] invites you to the house for dinner, she had to give you the OK. And if you didn't get the OK, then you weren't going to get the job."
Lance Thompson was leaving LSU to take the UCF defensive coordinator's job. Smart remembers Thompson, who worked under Saban two different times, telling Smart in passing: "Working for Nick is like dog years. Every year feels like seven."
Smart visited the Saban home on Super Bowl Sunday, and they were all sitting around and talking after dinner.

"I was comfortable and feeling good about the way it was going, and I just say, 'I don't get it. People say working here is like dog years.' I don't know why in the hell I said that. Just dumb," Smart said. "Think about it. Why would you ever say something like that to an employer you're trying to get a job with? But I did. I guess I wasn't overwhelmed or intimated. I was too young to know any better."
The next morning, Smart got a call from Muschamp after that day's LSU staff meeting. Muschamp told Smart that an irate Saban barked to everybody in the staff room: "Which one of you dumbasses said it's like dog years working for me? We're trying to hire the guy, and you tell him that?"
Smart is still sheepish about it all these years later.
"I got the whole staff cussed out and somehow still got the job."

LOL this one from Kiffin.
"When Kiffin's three children were young, he remembers getting an invitation to the Sabans' house for Easter. His first thought was: "I'm not getting yelled at on Easter. I get yelled at enough at the football complex.""
