    Poor Oregon. They can't catch a break. Actually losing Taggart and Cristobal might have been breaks...

    I felt like it could happen. College football is changing and even though Saban has shown he can adapt to circumstances he can’t be happy with the direction college football is taking.
    That said, I’m still shocked.

    Smh, Grimsley who was quoted as saying he likes Florida, but he's not sure the Head coach will be there for long because of the UAA likes to replace coaches. So he chose Bama for "stability"

    Not only does Saban leave as a coaching legend with 6 National Championships, his coaching tree is like a mighty Live Oak, spreading far and wide.

    They were good coaches but also two of the biggest hypocrite coaches to walk a field/court. Cheated their asses off while acting like their crap didn't stink.

    Alabama is loaded for bear next season, ranked 1 or 2 in early polls and just signed another monster class. Their new HC is going to walk into the best team a HC has ever seen day one. Yeah, there’s obviously big pressure, but still, wow!

    I'm sure the hundos he can toss on his bed and roll around in will assuage his hurt feelings! :D

    I'm pretty sure, if the coach leaves, the players can as well. I think? Any insight?

    Interesting point, but there’s no restrictions on transferring now anyways. Not sure about transferring mid term.

    I don’t know when drop add dates are, but I’d think they still have a few days to get enrolled for spring. If not enrolling until fall, there’s plenty of time to move.
