BOL: Lance Thompson Leaving to go to Auburn
- Thread starter RTR91
- Start date
Possibly, but Muschamp better worry more about how he's going to keep a good defense while Gussy is running her up tempo offense. That seems to be the Achilles of these HUNH is the defenses are traditionally bad.
As long as we can get off the field on 3rd down! Bring in somebody who is hard nosed and ready to hit somebody! RTR
First team meeting, O is gonna put Mike the Tiger in a headlock and ask the team "Who wants some??!" Meanwhile Les will be chewing a piece of grass and explaining the bail system to the new recruits.
Also explaining how to properly play prevent defense up 3 midway through the 4th quarter.
Interesting what I heard about Kevin Steele and Kirby smart.. and then Lance Thompson and his " personal issue" I wonder what that is about?
Search the forum and you can get a pretty good indication of what the "personal issues" were about.
This is CLT's 3rd stint at Bama. I believe he was here with Dubose maybe? Anyway I remember the same things being said about him then - great recruiter, so-so coach.
Yup, I get it now. The reason I aske because BOL seems to have inside info to why he was told to go...
I'm not sure I buy the "it's just business" or "they're all rivals" arguments. It smells of a little more than that. These are two coaches that Saban brought back and gave second chances. There are rumblings of a parting of ways, and then they end up at two of Bama's biggest rivals. It may be great opportunities for both coaches, but I think there was extra incentive on their part and the hiring colleges. I bet they all feel like they stuck it to Saban a little bit... or will in the future.
Both LSU and Auburn will learn more about Bama's defense; not that there is anything super secret there. We will have to change all of our signals.

Staying in the area makes sense given their recruiting backgrounds. They would be more valuable to teams in the same area. It probably has nothing to do with "sticking it to" Saban. In fact, since Saban gave each 2 chances, they are probably pretty grateful to the man.
As for changing the calls next year - don't teams change up their calls each season?
No doubt it maybe part of the decision. But you can't discount an element of the decision is based on having a job, not having to move their families across the country and overall security for their families.
They may have felt like they stuck it to Saban but they're fooling themselves. From my vantage point, nobody really "sticks it to" CNS. He's almost always 2 steps ahead....
I agree with others here, the button on the big desk was pushed and they were shown the door. I think these two coaches are fair to good coaches. What I believe they lack is ability to motivate and develop players. By Coach Saban giving them chances it shows his ultimate care for both the young player and the coaches who need help and credibility added to their resumes, doesn't mean he will hold the hand forever. Bama is such a great program top talent program, there are top coaches seek us out. RTR
