Yeah, you're really correct. I'm beginning to think they should left-shift the college football calendar to give it more weekends with no NFL competition and get the tournament done by NYD. If we go to 8-team playoff then that "left-shift" is the only way to get it done but they really ought to just go ahead with it now perhaps.
But my question is this: How is that quitting the team when he has met all of his obligation academic wise? He have the right to transfer as Graduate Transfer, and maybe it was something that He and Saban agreed to together and maybe developed a plan... What if it was the plan all along and they met last week to sign off the paper? You don't know what goes on in that office between them. It's not fair to call him a quitter and not know the whole story.
Because the team isn't finished yet, the season continues.
I think you're being little too harsh about the whole thing, but whatever. We'll wait and see.
Late to the thread here, but I've thinking this for awhile now. Then we actually saw him throw the ball. Stewart running a package of 10-15 plays might be enough to get us through a game- even against Clemson or OSU- in a pinch.
Likely looking for something out west. Will be interesting to see how it unfolds.
I am not being contrary or argumentative, but I have never liked the fact that coaches who get new jobs at the end of year are almost always expected to quit immediately even if their former team is going to a bowl game. It always struck a little bit as quitting on your players, but that is not necessarily on the coaches, as much as it is on the system. Since we haven't had to experience that yet at under CNS, it's hard for some of us to empathize with that feeling of being quit on. However, I cannot deny that I feel way less critical of Lane Kiffin knowing he wants to at least stay til the season is over.
