No joke that doesn't sound like he was pushed out the door. Maybe their relationship was THAT bad at that point?

RTR91 · Jan 20, 2015

Let's go back to 2009-2010 when Lance left for Knoxville. There was talk Kiffin threaten to black-mail him for some relations he had with someone of the opposite sex.

Now, he returns and Saban makes this comment. He very well could have been pushed out for not obeying the Boss's order of not repeating those relations.

Just a thought.

He was. I think the "he's done same thing each time" was in reference to going to a rival afterwards.

I agree with you. After the season we had on defense this year there was going to be changes. At most places this year would have been a success on defense but not at Bama.

Sounds like he left on his own accord.

He did and he planned his move for right before NSD so he could sell himself to Auburn as some one who could flip some prospects he was recruiting for Bama. IOW, just about as unethical as you can get...

Hopefully current and future recruits and high school coaches realize Thompson is not someone you want to trust.

What happened to the reports out of Tuscaloosa last week that said Saban told him to find another job? If that's true, LT didn't leave on his own. He may have planned his exit like you say, but he can't leave on his own if Saban told him to take a hike or get fired.

Is it 'do me', or 'fool me'? Lol

Al A Bama · Jan 20, 2015

So is he what we would call a scoundrel?

Probably, but it would depend on who you talk to.
