You would think 1 of 24 analysts wouldn't be that important to playoff prep and could come on down to help with recruiting needs for us if it is indeed Locksley.
REPORT: A new hire has already been made
- Thread starter Slevin
- Start date
I'm glad other people got to it before I could.So Law is dead set against 21-16 coaches, but he loves a 3-31 coach?
There was also that little incident where he punched one of his assistants and was suspended for it.I'm happy to get the guy for his recruiting, but if we need an interim, I hope to hell it isn't him.
Who knows what the deal is. He may have some clauses that prevent him leaving early. Contracts can get crazy
Is Kiffin still going to be on their sidelines for playoff games or not? Didn't Kirby stick around with them last year during playoffs? If yes, then is it because they're contractually obligated to, or they just choose to.
Everyone's contract is different. I can't imagine Locksley's support staff position having a buyout. I also can't imagine Saban keeping him around if he has inked a deal. Locksley's main draw is as a recruiter. So why keep him around if he is going to recruit against you?
Best bet is that Mac just wants to wait until the bowl game is over and get some momentum coming out of the dead period.

I am pretty sure Lane is staying on as OC through the playoffs unless Saban fires him after this press con.

The very first sentence makes it seem like he is still on staff...
"Lane Kiffin couldn't help but make a crack at Nick Saban in one of his final press conferences as Alabama's offensive coordinator."
I'm glad other people got to it before I could.

So, our every coaching and advisor target should be both good at coaching and good at selling his program
to recruits. Take nothing less UF.
I read something a couple weeks back that said he would not be there for the playoffs. I guess we will see.
Ok, that makes sense then. So I guess if true we'll hear something maybe a day or so after bowl game.
I think the dead period goes thru the 3rd, so I'd guess Locksley would be announced prior to then if it's true
I think he's an EE; so yeah, it's too late.
JFC it was New Mexico... at a time that the WAC decided to self destruct and when they were serious question where their football program was even going to continue. Belichick with Saban and SOS as coordinators ciuldnt win there. Was it a bad choice to take the job? Sure but you may have not heard but many southern schools dont seem to hire black men.
He is a competent play-caller and one of the best recruiters on the staff of great recruiters at UF.
And he is not a GD Caine. Id rather see us rehire Zook as a interim than a caine and everyone knows I dont like Zook.
Do people really want a cocaine as the interim?
I also said keep an interim if necessary but dont rush into another terrible fvkking rushed hire, even if it means waiting a year ala Ohio St.

I'd like to see us hire people who don't seem like covert operatives. **** dwags, caines, nulz, bammers, et. al.
The pool of coaches is a lot larger than that.

I'll take any upgrade, at anytime related to ground working our future better
OP there says no way Cristobal comes here.
I hear Washington suggested Saban borrow Nuss.
