Someone pointed out she may have family in Columbus and wants to be closer to them. It's a strange season with the virus and political unrest...makes some folks want to be closer to home. Read also that they don’t like antifa filled Oregon. Could be a culture thing as well if you have an issue with the local community. And maybe Mario is more of an under armour guy!

Grimes was a good coach the first time around. Go look at our OL recruiting, and the number of players we put in the NFL early in Gus's tenure. When he came back, he was kind of a different person. He shouldn't have hired him back, and at a minimum should've let him go a year earlier. But this wasn't what my comment was about. My comment was about recruiting. The person I was responding to said Gus is a poor recruiter, specifically calling out 3 positions. I was showing that we had recruited 2 of those pretty well, and that Gus had made a move to improve the recruiting of the third one. This goes back to what I've said several times on here. Recruiting was not the main issue. To some extent, we had a development problem. But mostly, it was game preparation. Our guys showed up too many times unprepared to play, and our game plans going into games were often questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fine with a great coach coming in and using us as a stepping stone. Hell, That could even be in the contract and known to both parties. Just give him a 5 year (expandable) contract. Gives us 5 years to search for a possible replacement if he decides to go back pro. Or, extend the contract if he doesn't.

mustache eagle 2,406 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 It’ll never happen but I’ve advocated for years to pay our head coach the average of sec HC salaries and make it crazy loaded with championship, winning, graduation and ncaa integrity incentives.

The record for baylor was 20 years ago when baylor was still a nothing school. I dont want him as choice but just saying under a NORMAL firing situation i could see where he would be a decent hire.

I’m just telling you what my aunt knows and she was/is very well connected to the program and has been for the last 40 years. I’m talking about flies out to Stallings ranch connected. Was interviewed on espn about Stallings connected. Is close with Saban and VERY close with his wife, with Kirby and VERY CLOSE with his wife, and just about every coach that’s been there in the last 50 years connected and can call them up right now solid. But if you have a better source that contradicts what my aunt has said, by all means share it. Money has a way of changing things and they may end up here (I hope they do), but living in Alabama was not her favorite place to live by a long shot.

He's had 1 year as a college OC one 1/2 a year as an NFL OC (and his offense hasn't really even done well at Carolina). There's not enough data to have any confidence in him as a head coach of a major college football program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
