It’s cool dude I just got over COVID. Hope you feel better. It was still funny by the way.

So , Steele for a year until Armstrong is up to speed on the Alabama way? Seems I’ve seen that movie before!y

Wasn’t that like 14-15 years ago? Not everyone stays mad about something forever.

 

[Bamamonts]

I hope he does good. Roll Tide!

 

[RammerJammer14]

Well this is just absolutely pathetic. Steele? Really? Is it April 1st?

 

[bamaslammer]

All I know is those barn defences were tough nuts to Crack and he had virtually no NFL talent on those teams

 

[bamacon]

I will say that KS could be the the founder of the D1 Coaches Portal.

Armstrong Robinson or Pruitt more than likely

Lots of stats, karma, complexity, uniqueness, etc about this search. Steele is probably an upgrade. But it feels like The Dating Game where the 3 contestants are all the same person and it’s your ex.

Complete reset needed. I would NOT want to go through Spring this year but it's needed if the constant rumors of previous DC nonsense is true. 2008, here we go!

idk what news y’all were waiting for… but the news I want to hear is for BamaHoops to say that he is predicting “ Alabama will not win the sec and national championship” next year

I have noticed that whenever “bad news” happens for Alabama. You have a swarm of posters here who you never hear from again until there is more “bad news”

If you feel so strongly about it, leave the main man a voicemail

 

[Bear-Nick]

Number of top 10 defenses in his career: 1
Number of five star recruits with him as primary recruiter: 1

Well I don't know about yall. But I'm headed in the morning to get my deposit back, because this is not what I banked on.....

This hire kind of fits the bill for what I was thinking would happen; one Of the coordinators would be a risk because they have no ties to the Alabama culture and the other would be someone who has been at Bama with Saban. Look, Saban was not going to hire 2 coordinators that he would consider risks. Rees is a gamble; lots of upside and potential, but not yet proven against SEC competition with elite talent. Steele is a known commodity. He‘s also proven in the conference and has had success. Due to his many years of experience, he’s also had his share of defeats. it’s not much of a gamble because he knows the Bama culture and obviously Steele knows the expectations of HOW to be successful with an elite team. Taking on Schumann or Leonard would have been taking a risk at BOTH coordinator spots and we might be right back where started with PG and BOB.

This fits Saban’s MO. Look at his staffs over the years. They all contain mixtures of up and coming coaches and seasoned veterans. There has to be balance. I know many on here wanted that splash hire that would have made the entire country take notice, but this is what we have.

Surprised about the hire? A little because of who it was. Disappointed? Not that much because I feel everyone has an opportunity to prove themselves. I‘ve never coached a down of football in my life, but I know the head coach at Alabama has coached for a very long time and has won a lot of games. I trust he knows what he is doing and, as has been stated by those that know him best, he has a plan.

Roll Tide!!
