Perhaps the opportunity of returning to his old gameday job of holding onto Kirby's belt and pulling him off the field was just too appealing. 
I’m just hoping CSC didn’t get a peek at our recruiting board on his way out the door.....
Look you guys need a cathartic lightening rod to focus you're ire. I'm your guy!
Is Herby right in his comment? I didn't answer that point, just posted his comment. Personally, I don't think this is a sign of Bama's decline - not by a long shot. If anything I think it makes CNS even more determined to prove people like Herbstreit wrong. Saban has an uncanny way of rallying the troops.
I would hope Scott Cochran's character and loyalty to Bama all these years would override his desire to be a back stabber like Kirby apparently has been. It all boils down to a person's character, integrity, and faith. I know he and Kirby are good friends though, and Kirby will do just about anything to beat Bama.
I wish I had a nickel for every time Saban has been "done" and UGA was going to win it all this year...…………….I could probably retirethe over-the-top reactions by the Bulldogs fans (they seemed to think a championship is guarantee and Nick is done at least that what the folks on Finebaum seem to think) is hilarious to me. Sucks to lose Cochran, but I don't see him impact the Dawgs, the same way he impact Bama. GA will still be GAing themselves in big games, and Dawgs fans will go back to the drawing board.
Saban won't win another title now![]()
That's Herby's and many other's hope...…………..The exact words Herbstreit is screaming on Twitter
Cochran, however, yearned for more, and Smart saw fit to give him the opportunity that Saban would not.
Even after all those years Cochran spent managing and developing the Alabama players in the offseason, and all that energy he brought to the sideline, Saban couldn’t see fit to give Cochran an opportunity to advance his career.

Scott and Kirby will both be looking for a new job in a couple of years !
DAAAAAAAAAMMMNNNNN! dawgs just won the SUPERBOWL over on Dawgnation! Scotty was a great coach, but he was S&C coach with the New Orleans Hornets basketball team when Nick Found him. Nick will find another. I mean He found Scott, Jimbo, Will, Jeremy, KIRBY, Mark, ....and the list goes on!
BTW , DawgByte is at it again over there, posting a link to this thread! He needs to stay in Flowbee land!
I don't know. Dawg fans are pretty content with "almost" and "we'll be better next year." I think they can ride that wave for several years to come. I doubt this is going to turn out like the die hards are trumpeting, however.
I don't want to act like losing Cochran doesn't sting. But I think it's ludicrous to believe you taking a guy who is really good at a thing, and putting him over something he's never been a part of before is a great thing that's going to turn out wonderfully. I think its moronic, actually.
