More and more smoke regarding Saban

[TheContractor]

Lovie Smith has also made contact with us.

Lovie is from the State of Texas. Does he want to be a DC or position coach? I'm building a dream staff right, he can coach LBs.

 

[Lord Vader]

mcphaul any way you can list the coaches who have made contact?

From the Rumor Mill:

Nick Saban or his Agents

Mike Tomlin or his Agents

Gary Patterson or his Agents

Lovie Smith or his Agents

Jon Gruden or his Agents

Pete Carroll or his Agents

Urban Meyer or his Agents

Keep adding in folks

The names are nice with NFL guys but they better hire college assistants(at least 1/2 position coaches) that know how the defend the spread. That's very different form NFL/from Sec until last year/Big10 for most part.

Well, you can't deny that Greg Robinson came up to speed rather quickly. The defenses will catch up just like they did with the run & shoot offeneses of the 90's.

Lovie Smith has also made contact with us.

He's from Big Sandy, TX which is right down the road from Longview. Not shocked that he wants to come home. He wanted the Cowboy DC job too from what I heard. Wish we'd have hired him instead of Monte.

Not saying it won't happen, but I'd advise tapping the brakes.

Totally agree... Guys I'm keeping my fingers crossed hoping for Saban like you are...

With the storm gathering strength, I just hope we aren't in for a big heartbreak/letdown down the road and have to settle for ????

I do think the new AD must get with the BMD's(or whoever is driving the train now) and move fast. If Sumlin/Briles, etc move as we hear, we could be left with (perceived)second/third tier choices....

If Saban is a non-player, go full court press on Briles....pay the $$$ for a great DC(GR)

Id have to agree with you even though Kiffin hasnt done all THAT bad considering things. Cant see the logic in throwing a ton of money at an extremely old man unless you had a legit shot at the Super Bowl.

Doesn't he have ties to Gladewater, Tx and there is currently a certain DT there that suppose to be bad ass.

This is where I am on this whole thing.

Big Sandy is right outside of Gladewater. Couldn't hurt with Mack, but I think hiring Saban and Sumlin leaving A&M would be a much bigger deal with him.

Agree, Saban at Texas changes the '14 class and completely changes '15 onward, add to that Sumlin leaving, night and day change.

I tend to agree with this. The college game is so much different and the spread is taking over college football. A great coach has to be committed to hiring assts that can run it as well as to stop it. That's what makes me nervous about grabbing an NFL coach, unless he's a proven commodity from the college ranks RECENTLY.

 

[randoke]

I'm hoping we don't have to settle for Mack Brown.

 

[bbdude]

We need to hold on to Jerrod Heard's commitment. Plain and simple!

Solid from what I hear, but an acceptable loss if it means moving on from Mack and getting a top coach in here. They'll find plenty of talent out there.

 

[Hornzy34]

Wow, that would not be bad as well. All the aggies are getting pissed because of this talk of Saban to Texas. They actually believe what he says at his press conference.

Zoomair, I see you are using miss Tiffany's (gisele's) pic as an avatar, just an fyi, she is related to some posters on OB and very prominemt boosters.

 

[chrisgb2000]

With saban I'll wait until Oliver luck is introducing him as the new head coach to believe anything regarding him!

 

[Horn46]

I want NO part of Carroll, how does he get a pass with all the Reggie Bush crap on his watch?
