Kirby announced it personally and TRob has changed his Twitter/X profile to indicate he has the job. I'd definitely love to keep him but it sure doesn't look promising.
i wouldn’t base it strictly off that. Like I said there is a whirlwind of emotions that have been going on the last 72 hours and now people are starting to settle down. You are starting to see many of the players on defense who are currently in the portal or are rumored to go in kind of change their tune.

I’m not promising that we bring Trob back but it’s not a done deal right now.

I think a few of those, other than the ones already gone, will change their minds and come back

I think Bond is gone, and I think he was always looking for a definitive reason out. Could be wrong but that’s looking like the case.

I think alot of players went from pure excitement when KD addressed the team to pure shock when Trob announced he was leaving. I think there was alot of hard feelings and feeling that they (players and coaches) didn’t get assurances that they were instantly expected to have had. I think we are seeing KD now going around personally addressing those concerns because he is done with the circus of the announcement and talking to the media. So look for things to start to settle down.

I agree that Bond was on his way out before Saban retired. Not sure that he could not be brought back into the fold. Depends on a lot of things that we can only guess about.

I hope he comes back. 4th and 31 was special, just like 2nd and 26 was special. Bond is a special player. He could do wonderful things in the DeBoer offense.

I think it’s too far into the process, and all you can do is ask the agent of Bond (yes he just hired one) what the price is and pay your best. If he takes it then great, but if he doesn’t load up on Downs and Ryan Williams with the money you were willing to pay Bond.
