Is he not going pro?

I haven't seen a mock draft with him in the first round since October. I would personally guess that he enters the portal. But maybe they believe that Kendall can revive him and he'll stay.

My dude. He's gone. It's over. Done with. Lebby did what he needed to do. Saban would have done it. It's a sign of a great coach when they don't care about connections nor about friendship because business is business. Lebby was hired to do a job, not to hire former players and keep them no matter what.

Wasn’t Bumphis pulled over from Arnett? Pretty sure we had awful receivers that year.

I know he's gone and it is what it is. Firing a coach is not a sign of greatness it's the 1st and last steps of accountability

So Saban firing and hiring coaches was not a good thing?

The receiver ran a slant. Shapen through an out route. Yeah, somebody screwed up. My guess is Shapen threw to the spot the receiver was expected to be.

In classic Shapen fashion he stared down the receiver and everyone knew where it was going. ha

Saban didn't have to fire too many. His coaches were getting poached. But yes Saban firing a coach would be a good thing. However, that's not an level comparison.

Tends to happen when you only have two reliable receivers though.

It's very comparative. After his first season at Bama, he replaced 2. 2007–2010 period, a total of 14 different coaches occupied 9 assistant‑slots. And that trend was always present. 3 coaches remained from the 2018 staff, out of 10 total on‑field assistant spots, for 2019.

Over Saban’s tenure, roughly 41 full-time on‑the‑field assistant coaches have passed through Alabama’s staff.

So Lebby should not be as demanding????

Someone on 24/7 said he is hearing that Spurrier, Jr is interviewing for the WR job. It's not Steve and it's a random poster who I haven't seen share info before. So not sure how reliable.
