Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
Does Ben Pollard still live in Tuscaloosa and commute to Starkville?

Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
He has one year left to qualify for a pension from TRSA. I'd bet he stays that year...

Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
And if he stays that year, I'd think it unlikely he ends up at UGA a year later. What's CKS going to do, fire a guy he's worked with for a year to replace him with a friend? Especially if CKS hires a new guy.
Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
At his salary level which is very good but not head coach level, that is a very good incentive to stay another year.
Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
With Bama's ability to spend money to keep him (if CNS wants to), combined with Bama's massive training infrastructure (I've been told they spend money like it's coming out of a firehose in the training department, generally having bleeding-edge technology on hand to help the players rehab) - it might not be as cut-and-dried as CSC being good friends with CKS. UGA has cash but are they willing to spend it on football like Alabama is?

Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
All this is kinda confusing. I just hope he stays for more than pension.

Good wordplay, sir. Kudos!
Leading edge? Bleeding edge because it is athletic training? :wink:

Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
Don't forgot that in addition to being the S&C coach Cochran is also the get-back coach on the sidelines. If the new S&C can't adequately perform those duties do we have anyone else on staff that could do that?

Someone mentioned Ben Pollard upstream. There was a coach who loved coaching at Bama and was proud of it. I was sorry when he wasn't retained after Fran left. He's kind of old to be considered now, in my opinion.
I'm hoping he feels warmly towards the Bama program and has enjoyed living in Tuscaloosa and working under Saban. With all the love the Bama fans have shown him, it would be nice if it was mutual. (I know, I'm living in a dream world, and need to accept how things are these days.

Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
The fact they are just now breaking ground to build an indoor facility lends me to believe they are not willing to spend on football like Alabama does. Their history indicates it, but things could be changing.
Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
What decade is this?
UGA's just now building an indoor facility?

Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
Hey, UF just completed their indoor football facility in the last year or so...
Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
Good grief. I assumed all of the big boys in the SEC had indoor facilities years ago. Don't these people take their football seriously? :wink:
Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
Seems like he would find it hard to move after getting what he's asked for in the "best, state of the art facility in the nation".

He's very proud of the way everything is laid out to specification (much of it his input). Will GA drop the money for a facility like this for him?
BTW, if he wasn't a drill sergeant in his past, he would have made a great one.
