How would you like to be a P5 AD trying to hire someone without it leaking. All the time knowing his future failure will possibly cost you your own job

You know Mal Moore said he pretty much knew in 2007 after firing Shula his next coaching hire would be his last, one way or another. Meaning he either got it right or he was going to be gone.

It was that thought that pushed him to make a second run at Coach Saban after he had initially said “no”. And aren’t we glad he did?

I think AD’s these days take it almost as something that goes with the territory.

He rented a hotel room close to Saban’s house during Saban’s last game without Saban even agreeing to meet him. Jimmy Sexton called him mid flight and said don’t fly to Miami because there is no guarantee he will even talk to you. Mal said “ if I don’t have Nick on this plane coming back with me then I’m taking it to drop me off in Cuba”. Mal had some serious guts.

Mal gets his man

Didn't see this posted elsewhere, and I know, it's just Vandy, but they're about to sign a Vandy man as their next HC, Clark Lea, DC at ND. If you're interested in the write-up:

I hope he stays focused through the ACC Championship Game.

Going after a DC at a prestigious academic school. Why do I feel like I’ve see this movie before...

And chain me to a tree.

A poisoned oak? (I’m sorry, that was insensitive....)

So you don’t want revenge on Dabo?

Nope. I hope he loses and goes to a bowl game his team doesn't care about and he loses that too.

Seen where Butch Jones has hired Major Applewhite as his new offensive coordinator, good for both

Being reported that Bret “Bert” Bielema as the next coach at Illinois.

Redirect Notice

 

[BamaInCummingGA]

Brett may do decent at UI.

 

[AUDub]

Brett may do decent at UI.

He's a B1G guy and he very well could.

This scene in 2007 was college football's Jesus coming back to get His people and slaughter the pagans who'd been laughing for years. The laughing stopped with this scene...

 

[deliveryman35]

I've often wondered why Brett Bielema ever left Wisconsin. He had a great thing going there and just absolutely crashed and burned at Arkansas. I think he will may do very well at Illinois.

 

[GrayTide]

IIRC it had a lot to do with AD Barry Alvarez unwillingness to pay Bielema's assistant coaches commensurate with other B1G programs. That may not have been the only reason, but I do remember that as a sticking point.
