    Now that Bama has offered Baker the job....

    Who is on our DL short list? This sucks. Hard to compete when someone in your own conference or division raids your pantry every offseason. College football is quickly headed to a direction that isn't worth watching for me. Damn shame. You can't even hope to win as one of the small guys, bc as soon as you take a step forward, a bigger fish comes in and takes what helped you earn that step. Frustrating.

    I wish we had a massive donor that would pay Saban and his staff ridiculous overpaid salaries just to steal them as a big F you

    They have the massive donors that's the problem, these two donors can hand out our entire athletic budget and not even feel it. We just can't compete in their world.

    Did Chris Wilson land a job? He was being considered by Florida but somebody else was hired instead

    He may leave but he's still telling the players & recruits the right things. I know coaches lie all the time but just relaying info. We'll see in the next 24-48 hours.

    Nobody knew much about Baker when he go there. In fact some rolled their eyes reference his time with the Redskins and their then bad defense.
    There are great coaches out there. Senior Bowl is a coaching network event - staffs are now full coming out of that, plenty of coaching talent left over. Maybe not as accomplished yet but Baker had not produced a lot coming in either.

    That said - and accepting the reality of rich get richer in college athletics - this shit is getting old. Gonna make that afternoon that will come, when we beat them on the field, that much sweeter.

    I hate that David Turner is unavailable as of a few days ago. Strick and Don down in Gainesville probably knew what Saban was up to, and snatched him up so we wouldn't get him.

    I hope this whole process has taught everyone in this fan base a valuable lesson. There are still some that do not believe money is an issue. I hope those folks realize that money is a massive issue.

    We are not salary competitive. We all think it's high because it's more than we've payed in the past for some guys. But we are still last in salaries. When your football program is last in salary and last in revenue you can only go so far.

    David Turner wasn’t an option whether Florida got him or not

    Like I said in another thread. Saban is Saban, and he looks out for what's best for Saban. If he wanted our entire defensive staff, he would have all the support and resources to try and make sure it happened.

    Lolz at least we have a chance to win on the field and set our own destiny. They don't even have that.

    Moorhead has done well on his RB and WR coach hires. I would think the DL coach would be similar. You know he's already had to have put calls out. We will make a good hire
