Can we get Bo Davis back

[SeventhHeavenRanch7777@gm]

Since Kelly is out can we get Bo Davis back. He can recruit top DL

Not going to happen. He burned too many bridges here.

Didn't he lie to Coach Saban about a minor NCAA infraction?

Pretty much I think... I believe I heard rumors that Saban still wanted him back, but that he was considered a risk. Might be less of an issue in the NIL era since you can do it legally know.

IIRC, he contacted a recruit during the dead period and when he was confronted by CNS, lied to him. He would be a fantastic addition to the program.

Blue font ?

He’s with the Saints, not LSU.

Something needs to change though.

I want Bo Davis and Jeremy Pruitt back. And maybe they are shady characters, but you know what? I don’t care.

Both of those guys can flat-out coach.

 

[Bama_N_Va]

Its possible the game has passed Pruitt by....

FYI, all Alabama assistants are under contract through Feb 2027.

I think our "bigger" problem is OL. Wish we could bring in Sam Pittman as a consultant ASAP!

 

[Windsortide]

I e him back as well. But I think are issues with the run are schematic.

Fair point. Btw- I would love to have him back too.

Or get Joe Pendry back for a consultant role.

Dishonesty is not a resume enhancement, but I do like his recruiting and coaching skills. Bo coached some great players to greatness.
Hopefully he has learned his lesson and is scrupulously honest hereafter. Better to fess up, take your lumps, and learn from the whole thing.

He'd be a great pick up if he has indeed learned that lying is not the way.

I think we need to overhaul the OL and DL positions. Potentially coaching changes. S&C. Definitely a hard look at technique.

I cannot accept that our OL can't be improved with the players on hand. DL wise we have a good core group, but we could use the elusive and rare 5* disruptor in the middle and overall bit more size.

Or; until they are no longer needed. Which ever comes first

Assuming there are no violations that we don't know about, it's been 10 years since the lie about illegal phone contact. I think that's long enough ago to forgive and forget. He's done his time.

Shoot, after a year's exile in JUCO Saban forgave DJ Pettway for acting as a lookout in the brutal and unprovoked beating of multiple innocent students. One of whom sustained permanent injury. FWIW, I was adamantly opposed to that at the time. Plus, Saban isn't here anymore and Davis has a clean slate with DeBoer.

I'd give him a second chance with the provision that another lie will result in instantaneous dismissal for cause -- i.e., $0 severance.

If there are aggravating circumstances about the lie, or other problems that aren't public, I'd need to revisit my position.
