Re: Brian Kelly: Saban practicing with pro players is “ludicrous”

This coming from the guy who had a starting player so naive he had a make believe girlfriend.

Thought they had standards at Notre Dame.

Doesn't Rudy have any eligibility left? Or has CBK not
developed enough players in his tenure to help his team now? Justaskn'?

This is coming from a man who sent a videographer to his death by requiring him to scale a shaky stand during high winds...

Re: Brian Kelly: Saban practicing with pro players is “ludicrous”

As many have said around here, the best way to get a rule reviewed and change is to have Alabama take advantage of that rule. I imagine we'll see this one taken away in the off-season.

Kelly is the only one foolish enough to complain publicly, but I imagine that there are many more complaining privately.
Thank you

We could have our first "Bryant Rule", since Coach Bryant.

You're late to the party. Several "Saban rules" since his first year. First I can remember was a limit to Head Coaches time personally evaluating and contacting players. Tubbs needed duck huntin' time. Remember Saban responding with the video chats?

My memory is not what it used to be. Not joking!

Thanks for reminding me. (Don't get old. It stinks.)

Re: Brian Kelly: Saban practicing with pro players is “ludicrous”

Kelly does realize that Saban has been practicing with pro players since 2008, right? It's just that most of them hadn't made it there yet.

Re: Brian Kelly: Saban practicing with pro players is “ludicrous”

If they were pro players, I don't think Saban has enough pull to get their employers to allow them go scout team here.

Really a flattering statement from Kelly...he must think Saban is gonna give the NFL owners marching orders to help Bama win.

At 3-6 Kelly needs to worry about Army, Va Tech and USCw and not CNS using former players running on the scout team.
It's called deflecting- where is that "Waa waa waamubulance" graphic?

Re: Brian Kelly: Saban practicing with pro players is “ludicrous”

Seems Kelly has run out of players to throw under the bus so he needs another distraction from his limitations as a major college football coach. He was emasculated on January 7, 2013 and has now started wearing his skirt and pantyhose in public.

Re: Brian Kelly: Saban practicing with pro players is “ludicrous”

I'm not a huge fan of it being allowed, but if it is legal then why not do it. I agree a coach who is 3-6 should have better things to worry about.

Nothing is stopping anyone else from doing this. If Peyton Manning was running drills in Knoxville that's fine with me.

Re: Brian Kelly: Saban practicing with pro players is “ludicrous”

Yeah... the response article is a weak attempt at disregarding Kelly's concern without even discussing his concern but rather his performance. His performance was not in question. Bad journalism, IMO
I agree. Not a good rebuttal.

Forget Manti t'eo... I think his girlfriend has already been slipping in to watch our practices.

Re: Brian Kelly: Saban practicing with pro players is “ludicrous”

Whats really funny, is that it's not a loophole or some evil trickery . It's a bylaw, he didn't need permission, it's a very clear bylaw that says anyone can do it. Maybe Brian Kelley will figure that out next years as alabamas 5th offensive analyst

Brian Kelly commenting is ludicrous.
