If UofA doesn't have the money to go the portal route then how can we afford a $2.5M RAISE? It seems everyone here puts much weight on making the playoffs. THE ONLY REASON we made the playoffs was the expanded field. That argument does hold water. ADGB has lowered expectations. Pure and simple.
Saban's agent & CKD's agent are one in the same, as is every other Coach hired in the last few years prior to Saban leaving and beyond. I'll go ahead and ask again,,,, why? Did Byrne even look at anyone Sexton did not represent?

So Byrne decides to give him a raise and extension? What has he done to deserve it? Since when does Alabama reward a 7-4 mediocre season? Looks to me like we are dropping expectations and the Admin is back running the Athletic Department. So it's Joab Thomas all over again?
Great way to put it. So as I tried to ask in a round about way. Who is to blame for renegotiating the contract of a mediocre coach & why? Seems like adding an automatic roll over clause would have made more sense. Someone felt they had give CKD a raise and extension. Is it time to have a...
Do you not think having concerts to raise money for athletics & NIL is an indication the "Big Donors" may have shut their checkbooks?
I am still trying to determine why ALL our hires seem to have to go through Jimmy Sexton?? If the press is halfway right, a Sexton client is all that ever...
