2014 NCAA Football Thread

Those were never options b/c of his "QB or nothing" attitude. He would have been better at the other positions, though.

 

Agreed. I respect him for wanting to play his position, but he blew chances at lots of money.

 

Jeremy Hill is returning for another year

 

Looking at our up coming schedule I feel fairly good about it. Most of our tough games are home (Georgia, Mizzou, Texas A&M). But we do travel to Auburn & Clemson.

 

How long before Del Rio is a decent QB at Alabama?

 

I got back to Tally at 2 am. I'm a zombie in class today...

 

Won't matter if Jacob Coker transfers to Bama. He won't start ahead of Winston at FL State, and there's an opening w/ the Tide....

 

No love for Blake Sims?

 

Nah...too inaccurate. While he does pose a dual threat capability, that isn't really Alabama's theme.

His numbers aren't that much worse than AJ's when he played mop up duty.

Another year in the system and plenty of reps with the 1st team will only help him too.

 

There's a lot of key players leaving teams all over. It'll be interesting to see next season which teams fall off and which don't miss a beat.

 

AGREED!

 

NUSSMEIER is OUT.

Got one of the trio back. Shaw is gone for sure but Jameis and Rashad need to convince Kelvin to stay.

 

Even bigger that Erving and Jackson are coming back. Our O-line is going to be damn good next year. Also we are getting two really good WR recruits who are already ready in Travis Rudolph and Ermon Lane (still committed to UF but will flip)

 

James Franklin (Vanderbilt) has been offered the job at Penn State

 

Brandt wants him to stay.

Nuss headed north. Kiffin's visit to Tuscaloosa a few weeks back creating predictable buzz about him as the OC.

I'm pretty conflicted. I've only known of him as a HC, and he was a complete asshat in Oakland, Knoxville, and w/ SC. But if (supposedly knowledgeable) people I hear on the radio are correct, he was a hell of an OC for SC back in the day. It's undeniable that he's an excellent recruiter.

SO... It is certainly possible that he would be a good hire, but it would put me in the awkward position of not hoping he crashes and burns like I have for several years. At least Saban doesn't let his coaches talk to the media, so we won't have to see him in front of the cameras much.

I've also heard Rick Neuheisel's name thrown around... That would be interesting.

 

Please, take the weasel out of the pac12! Can't stand having him on tv even

 

Well, last night it was being reported he was offered the job, but just got the text from ESPN saying he's the leading candidate but they haven't made an offer yet.
