"The Athletic" discussion

Felt a little kicked when down reading this.

 

Ha! I tweeted to Ubben that he should go interview Doug Dickey about the state of the program and he went and did it about a week later.

Dickey, true to form, didn't make any news, but you can tell he isn't head over heels about the hire.

 

Get triggered y'all -

Oh. Let's see what he learned.

 

Worst piece Ubben has written.

 

We paid that [unt cay] to keep a journal and grab coffee for Saban.

 

Not ideal but better than paying him to continue to coach football here

 

And smoke cigars for beating his own recruits.

 

Remove the cigar from the equation and you've just described practice from 2014.

 

Just read the two Ubben pieces on Heupel (side note - the KNS knockoff a few days later is high comedy).

Generally seemed like good stuff. Still not positive at all he can do it, but I like his style.

 

I'm more confident he can than anyone since Kiffin.

 

And the staff seems legit. Only person I'm suspect of is Banks as the playcaller.

 

Think JH will be calling plays

 

He's talking about the defensive coordinator

 

I wasn't paying attention. Stop a slant or 2 and have his DL put their arms up twice a game and should be an upgrade

 

This makes me irrationally angry, for whatever reason. We never even responded to the kid?

My kid would need to enter the portal to another family to become eligible for a transfer to another team.

 

At the end of the A&M shellacking I told mine he could pick a new team other than Bama or Florida if he wanted. He chose not to.

 

Mama always said “if you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all” plus the kid is only 9 so I’ll just leave it at that.

 

He ain't no 5 star fan, I'll tell you that. He's a bust.
