Can we poach players from the programs changing coaches

[bamaslammer]

I seem to remember when we hired DeBoer it was a free for all for our players. With everyone firing their coaches can we not poach them now? Are their particular players we might have a shot at?

As I understand it, yes the players are fair game. Heck, these days it doesn’t seem to matter that a coach has left. Players getting tampered with midseason, coaches getting tampered with midseason.

In today's climate each player is fair game whether the coach has left, stayed, etc. Relationships was important once upon a time. Money is the fuel to keeping kids now. Is what it is...

I believe the rule changed from last year… then, as soon as Coach left players had 30 days starting immediately to jump into the portal…now I think they have to wait for the window?
But like all you cats mentioned above…it’s all Wild West crap 24/7 now anyway…

Follow the money. Always. Follow the money. Everything else is noise.

The kids got their education first hand. And they learned the #1 lesson from their job hopping coaches.

All that is left is to the scoreboard to $$$ instead of points. From betting lines, to 2.5 hours of commercials per game, to job hopping coaches, to buyouts, to NIL, to corporate box seats, to corporate sponsored/owned bowl games, to backroom handshakes, it's just all about money now with the thinnest veneer of football stretched nearly to the breaking point over the entire mess.

We should be ruthless to get whoever we want from any of these schools picking new coaches. Ruthless.

After what we lost when CNS left…damn straight!

I would put an all out campaign for Cam Coleman. That guy could be a real difference maker for us next year. I noticed that Keenan briefly consoled him after the fumble and few guys went up to him after the game. Kill him with kindness.

 

[Jack Bourbon]

Yes. Lots of possibilities this year

This year we are the hunter

New rule this year- 15 day portal window after new coach is named. LSU @ Florida are on the 15 day clock. Not sure if Ole Miss has named Golding as permanent or interim but if permanent they are also on the clock.

Golding is officially the new HC, not just interim, so OM is on the clock.

The Alabama football team had a staff named Courtney Morgan. He's very, very good at this. He along with the other staff members does things "legal way" and believe me when I said this. They've already been in contact with some of the players from other schools.

So, if the portal rule was in effect back in 2006. Would the portal window have opened when we announced Rich Rod was our new HC, then reopen when we hired Saban??

RR was never hired...

 

[4Q Basket Case]

We absolutely can, and I'd be shocked if we haven't already reached out to a bunch of players.

Remember how our roster was gutted when Saban retired? Without Julian Sayin and Caleb Downs, no way is tOSU undefeated.

That knife cuts both ways.

So you think we would go after OSU?

If and when Ryan Day leaves, absolutely.

You want to see ruthless? Wait’ll LSU turns Kiffin loose with his payroll ( oops! Meant NIL ) dollars.

Yep, semi-pro. There’s nothing “ college” about any of this, and I don’t know why anyone would pretend it’s anything else.
