I could be wrong, but I thought someone mentioned he would graduate in May.

Trust this man. SMU has been cheating at the highest levels longer than most and knows how to skirt the system. 😈

I would not be surprised if Bamma hires a "buffer" coach. Someone not expected that will come in for a year or two to take the pressure off the next head coach replacing a legend. As someone mentioned, not many want the pressure of replacing the GOAT.

Got a lot of people bitching. You know good and well if it happened to a G5 they would be saying about time something happened

Did he turn them down or say he wasn't interested?

It brought a laugh to my day. Back in the day, my driver's ed teacher's name was Edsel Dodge Ford.

It's almost as if we have a head coach primarily focusing on the offense. 😈

I would be very surprised if they did not name a new coach by the weekend. Also, keep in mind the portal is now open for 30 days for all Alabama players also.

Not sure if we, or he was interested in each other this time around.

Thanks, NLI

I agree and believe there are players who could provide needed depth in the portal.

Should players who sign with a school whose coach leaves right after the signing be allowed out of their NLI?

Hope his kickoffs go deep!!

When you have the worst Defense in FBS and don't make changes, your actions speak louder than words.

I agree that this is very concerning. Even after being the worst defense in FBS, it seems Morris is still clinging to his Leach Air-Raid defense philosophy, where he believes his offense will score enough and he can deal with whatever he has on defense. We should have seen a much harder push for DLs and LBs. It will not matter how good of an offensive geru Morris is if we do not improve significantly on defense. I do not believe he will finish out his first contract here.

I thought both C. Morris and Purdey were staying at their current schools to graduate in May. Even if Eric is counting on one of them, getting another transfer or JUCO player here for the Spring would be nice.

Aune and Rogers' seasons proved that putting up big stats does not mean much if your defenses are bad. Our coaches must stop thinking they can outscore everyone and not put enough emphasis on the defense.

This should have led to the entire leadership of the NCAA being replaced. Many people predicted what would happen and that it would be a pay-for-play system. I don't think many thought there would be so much money thrown at players (even backups who rarely play). I would also guess they did not think they would create a system where star players at Blueblood programs would leave their teams. Combine this with the ease of transferring (players transferring multiple times) and the fact that the spineless NCAA would not attempt to stop tampering; you have the perfect storm in place.

I think he's been tremendous at getting attention for the program and helping us reach areas we might not otherwise have.

I am guessing in reference to the Dr. Pepper portal commercials

He looks to be trying a similar system to what Kinne did at Texas State. Has hired several of his assistants, and they are bringing in a load of players from AP.

Nice size. Noticed he picked up an offer from UTEP today.
