Well, I see these things as being connected. It literally is the fault of Auburn, Ole Miss, and the NCAA (if this is what it appears to be).How did I know that`d get a rise out of you Krazy ?![]()
Well the problem a lot of us have really goes back to the textbooks. Alabama was forthcoming, they cooperated fully, it was a pretty trivial matter. However, the NCAA was still fairly heavy handed. Contrasting that with Miami's refusal to cooperate, and Auburn's refusal to cooperate, and it showed you can get away with pretty much anything now as long as you don't admit guilt. So, if this is minor and didn't involve any active players, yeah I think cooperating will make it go away with no meaningful impact. But, if it was more serious Alabama darn well better know when to clam up.I agree, but if you take Auburn's approach and someone turns on you, you get slammed like we did when the "booster" sent those emails from Tressel to the media and NCAA.
There are risks to either approach - cooperating and obfuscating.
If true that's great news..From Jamey Barnes on twitter
"No NCAA trouble heading bamas way. Saban was out in front of this and Bo had to go. Exhale, everything is fine."

You have to figure this isn't new to CNS or the Alabama administration. They cherry picked NFL draft night to announce news in order to minimize publicity..

Well I'm willing to take any indication that there won't be an issue with the NCAA at face value.I have no idea, but if I HAD to guess, I'd say Bo did something that violated NCAA rules and Coach Saban found out about it. So he immediately informed school administrators, who immediately reported it to the NCAA, and then Coach Saban immediately fired Bo Davis.
With the program at the level it is, any possible violation would be squashed by Coach Saban in a heartbeat.
We shall see, but that would be my opinion.

Having said that, the tidbits thus far indicated the NCAA was already looking into it and that it was a recruiting violation. So, with Bo recruiting heavily in Mississippi and fishy things going on there (along with an NCAA investigation), it is easy to imagine the NCAA bumping into something, or Bo feeling pressured to do more to recruit the area.
In either case, this isn't the first or even second time a coach has been fired over NCAA rules violations. One time Alabama fired a guy who coached at Miami right and had some involved with stuff over there I believe. Another time someone loaned a player money and he was fired. That, like the fishing trip, what ever had Bo suspended last year, etc... seemed to pass without any undo pain. So, have to trust Saban on this one but the sooner the cesspool in Mississippi is cleaned up the better in my opinion.
Lane's brother is a dang good DL coach. Let's go get him.My only question is who replaces Bo? Also can we get someone on his level this late in the process?
To heck with one player if it keeps us away from a NCAA investigation. I'm over that stuff.
If you're talking about Kiffin's brother I'd agree.Lane's brother is a dang good DL coach. Let's go get him.
