Re: Gattis comment on telling Saban he was leavi
When Tubbs left Ole Miss for AU, the whole staff went with him. They took all of the playbooks, play diagrams, etc., with them. OM sued and forced them to return them, since they had been produced while the culprits were on the OM payroll...

10-3 every year? At Michigan? I think that is their high point. I would say enjoy 8-4 every year.

Kirby Smart definitely had a foot out the door his last game, defense didn't show up to play and he was busy doing things like taking pictures of the recruiting board.
I was willing to give them a benefit of a doubt prior to the game, but watching how things played out during and after, I do have to wonder how important the game was to some of those coaches.

Got to disagree with you about Kirby. I live in Georgia/ Auburn country across the river from Columbus. The dawg fans around here and there are tons of then think Kirby is the best thing going since sliced bread right now.
Gattis aspired to a higher leadership position (offensive coordinator) while at the same time displaying a lack of character and leadership in not honoring his commitment. As others have stated, if he had told Saban he didn’t plan on being at Alabama for 2 years he would have never been hired.
I would call him a mercenary, but that would imply he was the best at what he does, which is doubtful. Bottom line is this joker over the span of 6 hours managed to renege on commitments to two head coaches, Saban and Locksley. Yeah, good riddance is too nice. Don’t go away mad, just go away.

His last Game at Alabama vs Clemson. Common knowledge his head was already in Athens and several coaches as well. Also well known was the theft of recruiting intellectual property !

Pruitt seemed locked in. He may have been the only one of the bunch that kept his feet planted where he was.

Earle, as someone else said, I think it should be SOP as we’ve now been burnt several times by coaches with their heads not in the right spot. In the case of Kirby we overcame and won. Not saying Locksley cost us the game but, if we get a TD instead of FG early in the first half and don’t have the 2nd INT when we were running the ball down their throats and at least get a FG there running clock, we go in at the half down 28-23 not 31-16. At that point it would be a whole different game as we easily left 17 points on the table in the 2nd half. (Clemson was the better team that night but, Locksley helped them...)

Hmm wonder how it sounded in the podcast. Have not heard it. Only thing he could of said Coach Saban's name instead of a shot at someone. You said his name when you implied he was angry you left. Say it now when you try to clean it up.
Yeah, his idea of "context" is kinda suspect.................I think everyone knows the context his comments were in. Funny that the Mudchicken fans are chiming in.......when they get beat yet again, we will see how they feel
Oh I'm sure he was making a joke. At Coach Saban's expense, that is. He's an easy target to pile on, because most of the country hates him because he wins so much.
I'm not trying to be dramatic about this, because like I said, we didn't lose anything with this guy leaving. But, the words that come to mind are disloyal and dishonorable. Not traits I'd want my son to emulate.
The season is over and these coaches are gone, time to move on. If you have character nothing else matters, if you don't have character nothing else matters. I am looking forward to getting the new coaches in place and spring practice.
