I think your looking at it through Crimson Glasses...I do it too and it's hard not to, but these guys are coaches and it's just another job.The only thing really interesting about this to me is that both Thompson and Steele ran immediately to rivals. Almost a burn the bridge move for two coaches that Saban took back in when nobody else was offering them anything.
All of our signals will have to be changed in the off season!!
I hope we hire Clark and double what he was making as Head Coach at UAB. I am sick of hearing all the crap about shutting that program down. UAB football has gotten more press over this than they did when they had a team.I agree that Bill Clark would be an excellent addition, but hiring him would be like dumping nuclear waste on the current UAB fire.
Agreed. In today's football it rarely is personal. It's a business. It's no different than me going from one accounting firm to another one down the street. I have no personal ties or personal loyalty to either one. The main goal and objective is to keep a paycheck coming to feed and take care of my family.I think your looking at it through Crimson Glasses...I do it too and it's hard not to, but these guys are coaches and it's just another job.
Coaches change hats like most of us change underwear.
Anyone else notice how right on TIDE-HSV's feelings usually are. Betazoid empath perhaps?Well, I thought he had before, but he came back. I just have the feeling he was "encouraged..."
Bingo. It's just a job and, at the end of the day, these guys are just trying to pay the bills and provide for themselves and their families in a business where there is always absolutely zero security beyond the upcoming season.... but these guys are coaches and it's just another job.
I agree completely and it works the other way too.Agreed. In today's football it rarely is personal. It's a business.

Inside info on Thompson leaving:
Not that he has taken the AU job a couple of things:
LT was told to find another job after the IB.
If he didnt find one, CNS was going to fire him for “cause”.
Some bad blood between the two over this situation and it will be fun to watch LT come after his recruits in the next few weeks.
Its part of the business and these things happen a lot. He was a great recruiter for UA, but CNS will improve the on the field coaching with his replacement.
Orgeron and Les together will be comic gold.Coach O is joining Steele's staff in Baton Rouge. Tosh Lupoi is a possible OLB coach, though.
i think that has more to do with a previous relationship more than anything else.....The fact that he immediately jumped in bed with Muschamp and Auburn ought to tell you there is no love lost between Muschamp and Saban...
