Back in the "olden days" (pre-Internet), Bama fans threw bricks thru their coach's window.
In all seriousness, I hope Bama runs off DeBoer right into Penn State's arms and DeBoer goes on a mission to show what he can do without the pressure cooker mentality in the SEC.
Don't know that Bama is "out," but their problem is other SEC teams. TAMU, Georgia (assuming they win tonight and don't crap the bed against GT), TT, and Ole Miss are right there, and now Oklahoma should be ranked ahead of Bama since OK beat them. I can't see the SEC getting more than 4 teams in.
The only hope for the SEC is that the B1G only gets 3 teams in, opening another slot which could be filled by a SEC team. But again, Oklahoma is there - although they finish up against Mizzou and then LSU. Both of those games are certainly winnable, and could be the impetus to put OK in the playoff.
DeBoer would be a home run hire.
Absolutely! Probably the best of several excellent options still available. I just want someone who can develop a frickin QB!!
Well. I agree with you , but be careful what you wish for because Lincoln Riley can do that, but his teams can’t seem to ever play good defense.
You guys going to fall into the Deboer trap too? For what it’s worth, it’s the same bait used in the Elko trap.
DeBoer is the best coach in CFB today. There is absolutely no “trap” associated with him. BGJ can’t hold DeBoer’s jockstrap.
Oh, I don’t believe he’s a legit candidate. I do believe there is a contingent of Bama fans who would be happy to let him go, but I’d put the chances of him leaving Tuscaloosa at about .05%. I’m just suggesting he’s exactly the type of coach I’d like to attract.
I moved on after UCLA end of 1st half shitshow by the staff
USC may make the playoff if they can beat Oregon @ Oregon next week. They probably don't but have had a good season nonetheless with their defense playing better.
While I think this fantasy is more of a homerun than Elko, Kiffin, Freeman, and Cignetti, it’s definitely another trap for hopeful PSU fans. I think he would do fabulous here. I also think he is likely unattainable and it’s still Drink. Who knows, maybe something will go our way like it did during the game today.
Good. Kick him out if Tuscaloosa and see how fast he lands somewhere else, hopefully, in State College, but UF and LSU would have something to say about it as well.
DeBoer isn’t a great fit in the South, or at Bama in particular. But the guy can flat-out coach. Bama doesn’t know how good they have it. If DeBoer had stayed at Washington, that program would have been a nightmare to deal with year after year.
I'm not going to knock him. Know that he's won everywhere he's been. Big step that not many can make. For every Curt Cignetti there are many Billy Napier's.
