Vinnie isn't just a Saban player, he himself is son of veteran defensive coach Sal Sunseri. Would like to see Vinnie on Bama's staff one day...

Saw Big John in the grocery store yesterday...looks like he could still start and dominate today...

He fits the mold of all AL.com writers.....Archibald, Johnson, Whitmer and Goodman write for the sole purpose of creating controversy and stirring the pot at all cost but they hide behind the "opinion column" banner....

Going to a bowl was a big deal in those days.....now anyone close to having a winning season goes to one.....

If Cristobal continues to deliver at Oregon he will be the first call IMO....Dabo isn't coming to replace Saban....Napier is being mentioned more prominently for the Baylor job since Fuentes dropped out of consideration....I think Napier will have to deliver on a bigger stage than Louisiana to...

I cant see CNS allowing the program to slide (and what we experienced this year isn't a slide). I don't know when but I think he already has a plan/process for when he steps down. He will coach his last game then make the announcement....he will not want a "farewell" tour or game.....

Kendall Briles might need a home...

With the early signing period in home visits by CNS and key recruiters would seem to be ultra important to ensure a commit signs the line on the 18th....I would think playing in the conference championship and prepping for an all important playoff game would make it much more difficult.

If Josh McMillan's medical redshirt is approved and he returns that would be a boost to the ILB corp.

Malzahn is in the same boat Tuberville found himself. Overall record wasn't bad and both have/had some highlights. The only difference for Gus is Sexton pulled off one of the biggest legal heist by obtaining the seven year over-inflated guaranteed contract. If Gus had a typical buyout of $10M...

You are spot on about Mack and the $15M loss is on the conservative side. Few players ever make it to a second contract so the idea of cashing in after proving yourself in the league is short sided. Mack had some "advisors' that clouded his judgement.

Re: UA Coaching Carousel (Locks, Gattis, Key, Enos, Tosh, and ???) I think you are spot on....Tosh might not have the ability or knack to be a defensive coordinator.....everyone has different talents and Bama is not the place to learn on the job....I think this move had to take place and as...

Re: UA Coaching Carousel (Locks, Gattis, Key, Enos, Tosh, and ???) The defense wasn't expected to be elite but it became more and more obvious that Tosh was in over his head....he looked confused on the sideline and his players were a reflection of him...Bama gave up 31 points to the worse team...

Nick Saban was fired by OSU when he was secondary coach......Bill Belichick was fired by the Cleveland Browns.....seems like those two guys turned out okay....

Sark has a much better resume than the last two hires.....Daboll and Locksley......and even Enos. I was a fan of Enos getting the job but facts are facts....
