    Things I would like to see:

    Reporter at UGA camp:

    Coach Smart, why are you and the assistant coaches running suicides and the players are watching?

    Coach Smart - NIL contract negotiations................

    To an extent, that is true. NFL has always been more pure coaching and less dealing with kids, families, etc.

    But I cannot imagine how NIL has changed the process of recruiting. Good recruiters seem to like recruiting because, in the past, it was mainly about relationship building. Those days are dying because of NIL$. It has to be a frustration of a diff magnitude to sell a kid and his parents on everything your school has to offer (mentoring, education, facilities)...only to loose him to Ruiz et al because they throw an extra $100K. I can foresee a lot of coaches saying "heck with this...I just want to coach" and leaving for NFL pastures.

    Ruining the college game, it is. Just a bit faster than I expected.

    I think NFL is becoming a more attractive option for assistants based on everything you have stated. I still think being a HC at the college level is still attractive, in that they have complete autonomy and have total control of the program.

    If you lose a recruit over an extra 100k then the mentoring, education, facilities never meant a thing in the first place to them.

    Or, the good college recruiters, that like the process of meeting a greeting, get better at it becasue they have the added enticement of money to offer.

    I get it but the nfl has always been greener pastures. It’s the pinnacle of coaching. The recruiting/ cheating/ whatever you want to call it is what makes coaching and winning more sustainable in college. It’s almost impossible to have a ten year run in the nfl. You can’t just buy a new team next year if this one sucks. The draft and building a team within real rules is very hard. I don’t think sos or Saban lacked the ability to succeed there, it’s just tgat all the other staffs could coach tok and you can’t just outstack talent to win.

    Didn't Bama and the SEC forbid the Gators from hiring him just 3 or 4 years ago? That seems interesting to me that all of a sudden he's now allowed to get back into the SEC as a coach for Bama.

    He's not a coach, he is working as an analyst. He did the same thing two years ago at Bama(2020) before going to work under Urban in Jax

    Ah yes, the old loopy hole of analyst coaching. Leave it to Bama to invest so heavily on legal advocacy representation in all things sports.
