One thing I find funny is every DC that AU was rumored to want has crapped the bed in bowl games. Kelly defense just got ran all over by Houston, Gene Chizik's defense gave up a record number rushing yards and Tom Allen's defense had left a lot to be desired in their bowl game.

Yet, LT made the biggest splash and he was an afterthought to most on here.

KS's D looked great too. Shut down TT

Yeah, but he came out of left field. I am glad to have him on board. Don't see how people can be complaining quite honestly.

I think it will prove to be a good hire.

Where in the name of the big guy upstairs, other than on this board was chizik rumored to be wanted by AU? Another board? Someone's blog who is never right?

Thompson needs to stay in Alabama 1 more year for some sort of pension I believe. Probably going to get raise, and has monster recruiting class coming in on D. He got just about all he wants in AU at the moment, IMHO

if true about pension he aint goin nowhere.

All this pension talk is strange....the man has left the State like 3 times in his caching career, was getting his pension really important?

Well, its that now he's really close to being vested in the state retirement system. Like 18 months.

And he's at an age one thinks of such things.

[tiger88 934]

[wdefromtx 3,159]

Well hopefully KS can keep the recruiting class in tact.

You know what a rumor (Doubtful truth) is? A journalist, your sibling, a board member or a child on twitter can start a rumor. Go outside, buy yourself a coke and a smile and lighten up.

Ummm, yeah, lol. Garner too. I know they've had him in the mix with everyone possible knowing lt might leave.

Hence why I put rumored. It also was rumored we wanted Manny Diaz? Do you have absolute evidence that this is true besides a twitter link or a blog?

Manny Diaz makes more sense even as a rumor, Chizik is just crazy talk of a rumor started on a message board most likely.

Well that sucks. Thanks a lot Boom, anything else we can do for ya????

I agree which is why I was being sarcastic at the people who downplayed LT, yet he is the only one who showed something. My comment was never meant to be taken seriously. More of satire at people's expense.

Welp back to the Meltdown Thread... Seems like a recurring destination.

[bigbird 60,580]

Quick, someone start a "who do you want for LB coach" thread

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,753]

Welp there's always bad with the good

But we did just give up our best defensive coach for Kevin Steele

[CR 2,446]

Damn. Basically a brand new def staff. Again. Our defensive players and recruits have to be shaking their heads.
