OC and DC replacement discussion

[jcabama]

Mullen reportedly told Chris Lowe yesterday he wasn’t interested, was happy as a clam (my words) on TV and had zero interest in getting back into coaching anywhere.

And I support his decision fully cause I’m that kind of unselfish guy!

If called I will not interview. If selected I will not serve!

I see you in there, Pat Paulsen.

Saban's had plenty of time to read this thread and pick from all the candidates we've approved. Not sure what the holdup is.

It would be verticals or screens, no in between. Our heads would explode on the football side. We can’t get enough on the basketball side though

Verticals and screens, like with TEs???? This sounds intriguing, tell me more!!!

Could be waiting on me to call him back.

That's all I'm saying. Clearly he's getting old

How about binary code?

Youngsters these days probably know binary code.

TideFans is the place to be for up to date news on the coordinators search.

I’m hearing that we are hiring Matt Patricia as OC

He is, and he’s having trouble with the numbers; he wants to make sure he irritates the largest number of Tidefans possible with his picks.

Sorry but this thread can never, and I mean never, surpass the pure unadulterated stimulation, engagement and excitement of the now legendary “Hat Thread”. This thread can only be a “close second”.

Bro, the Hat Thread is like 2,000 pages at this point. Don’t think it ever got locked or anything either.

That is good news.............Cousin Eddie is fine on TV

Well, he is available.

 

[RammerJammer14]

well let's narrow down the list. I will not be the next Alabama OC.

Me neither

I laughed, too

For the record, grawlixes are OK, provided the symbols are truly random, and not a stand-in for real letters — for example, 1 or ! instead of i. Or $ or 5 instead of s.

And no, I didn’t know what a grawlix was until dealing with the profanity issue.

grawlixes sent me to my Oxford Dictionary...
Never to old.

It would be hilarious to find out Coach Saban was throwing some of the names out there just to see who would run with it. Or Mrs. Terry doing it.

In counterintelligence work, this is called "blue dye." If I tell person A that I am pursuing Nussmeyer for the role of OC, and I tell person B I am pursing Bob Connelly, when newspapers report that Bama is pursuing Nussmeyer, I know who leaked the info.

Coaching is a demanding business. You may only get a chance to get to a national championship game once, most never do. You know who will be at the national championship game every year? ESPN. I know covering it is not the same as coaching it, and the money is less, but ESPN is more predictable and that ain't nothing.

Lebby is definitely a proven offensive mind, but I’m concerned about his involvement in the Baylor scandal. He was implicated as someone who knew and kept quiet, and Art Briles is his father-in-law. Doesn’t impact the coaching aspect, but seem to be some serious character concerns there…..

Two things:

Jeremy Pruitt

He was in his late 20s, in his first college job, under a HC who was his father-in-law. Incredible pressure to remain quiet.

 

[BamaInBham]

I don't know who started the Greg Roman rumor, but that needs to die a quick death. We do not need BoB 2.0

He would not be BOB 2.0. Their only commonality is that they’ve both been NFL OCs. Their offenses and overall histories are completely different.
