Alabama Assistant Bo Davis leaving over inquiry into possible recruiting violations

[Intl.Aperture]

Joker Phillips was let go at Florida for nothing related to money or benefits.

Again, not saying it can't happen, just remarking that I understand why people jump to money and benefits first.

Something is weird about this whole thing. AL.com isnt reporting but yet its on Yahoo Sports front page and the link is to UGA SB nation blog. The article states it has been reported but does not cite any sources. Just have to wait and see.

A reminds of why the mere mention of violations makes a lot of folks nervous:

http://sports.outsidethebeltway.com/2007/11/ncaa-screwed-alabama-say-former-chairman/

David Swank, who held the position of chairman for seven years and served on the committee for nine, testified in a defamation and privacy suit against the NCAA brought by disassociated booster Ray Keller in Jackson County Circuit Court. Swank questioned the NCAA’s finding of three major violations against Alabama and Keller and said the NCAA may have violated its own rules by using confidential sources. The NCAA also violated rules by not turning over all the available evidence to the infractions committee during a November 2001 hearing in Indianapolis.

Yeah. Making matters worse, when the NCAA rejected our appeal, they said, "Yes, we broke our own rules. We don't care. Suck, it Bama."

That's not verbatim, but it's damned close.

I would love to see Chris Kiffin coming to Alabama...

It's official...

With the stink descending on Ole Myth, it may not be a good time to be hiring anyone from there, regardless of how clean that person is. Unfortunate as it may be.

I'll say this.. I'm open to Chris Kiffin, because he has done extremely good job with the DL line.. and Saban has brought folks in who had history of NCAA trouble before. Kiffin, Tosh Lupoi, Lance Thompson, etc. So, I think we'll be fine with him. but common sense in me, would think Tosh Lupoi would move to D line, and Freddie Roach gets the OLB spot.

That's why in the whole scheme of things, "NCAA" are words that when mentioned in the same breath as Alabama bring to mind thoughts like "Greetings from the Department of Internal Revenue" and "You are hereby summoned to appear in court on (date)." (Or whatever that says since it's never happened to me personally).


I'm still angry about it all these years later - not that we were virginal innocents but that the NCAA basically tried to kill a gnat with an Abrams tank division. There was no sense of proportion to their 'justice.' When I was a child, I used to think Jerry Tarkanian was insane - then I got older and observed the two-facedness in Kansas and realized Tark was right when he said, "The NCAA is so mad at Kentucky, it will probably slap another two years probation on Cleveland State."

Fact is - Tark was right about that point.

Not a big deal. Just shut up, lawyer up and let the NCAA know you are filing a civil suit for damages resulting from lost revenue to the AD in Tuscaloosa if they do not go away. People may not like Auburn and the U but they showed how to to beat the NCAA.

That said, look for the NCAA to aggressively come after Bama. They do not like Bama's dominance in CFB and will use this as a way to take Bama down and restore some parity. Bama needs to stonewall them.

Tosh takes over for Bo and then backfill for Tosh?

 

[peterolt1de]

Hopefully CNS's quick actions will suffice to the NCAA for whatever we did. But I'll say this, there are several other institutions they have to deal with for major violations before they get to us.

 

[JustNeedMe81]

Guys... As other has mentioned... There shouldn't be an issue coming out of this situation and not to be concerned because Saban got ahead of the situation. Just chill.

 

[JustNeedMe81]

Tosh takes over for Bo and then backfill for Tosh?

Freddie Roach?

That's why I think that's the most ideal approach, since it's almost summer and we need someone that won't change a lot with our player's techniques but I wouldn't be shocked if we heard about external candidate

 

[RTR91]

Lane Kiffin very well could be telling us the next coach via his Twitter account...

At 1:54 he tweeted "#BigGameHunting" with this picture:

At 1:55 he tweeted this picture

Let's slow down on the tinfoil hat conspiracies.

Is that it? Hopefully so. Cover up is almost always worse than the crime. Lying to the boss man will get you fired every time..
