Are you shitting me? Those inbred fucks ACTUALLY believe this kind of shit?
This is how the Thompson hire went down according to Bama's bobo honker at 24/7
First, it is important to note that this is "just business." It's hard for fans to separate being a fan and the business side of sports, but this is just a simple case of of the business side of sports.
We promised you the inside scoop on this developing story, so we will share with you what we can.
*** Multiple sources tell us that shortly after the Ohio State game in New Orleans, Nick Saban and Lance Thompson had a one-on-one meeting where Saban suggested that it would be good with Lance to "start looking for other opportunities." This is the way most of these situations go down.
*** Thompson and Saban discussed the possibilities of both staying and leaving -- there were no decisions made, but obviously Saban strongly made his point for Thompson to begin making some calls.
*** Thompson immediately received strong interest from several college and NFL teams, including Auburn. Remember, coaching is a business and all of these staffs are intertwined from previous relationships. Thompson was fairly close with several coaches on the Auburn staff, including Muschamp and Malzahn.
*** After the semifinal game, the entire staff went there separate ways and were scheduled to meet this week. Sources tell us that Thompson and Saban were scheduled to sit down once everyone returned.
*** On Schedule, Saban and Thompson had their meeting this week and nothing had changed. Sources tell us that Thompson expressed his strong interest to stay at Alabama, but Saban thought it was best for him to move on in another direction.
*** Sources tell us that Thompson told Saban that Auburn was his top choice and Saban blessed the move to Auburn -- he didn't have any problems with Thompson moving to Alabama's SEC West rival.
*** According to multiple sources, the meeting with Saban and Thompson ended extremely well and both sides have zero issues with each other -- it's just business. Saban and Thompson have a long, long history working together and it would not surprise us if they work together again in the future.

The Tuscaloosa News has learned that Thompson was told to find a job elsewhere.
:haha: :haha: :haha: :haha:
We didn't want him anyway.

He was dun gonna git fired anyways Pawwwwwlll

Auburn can only hire bama castoffs. :facepalm: :facepalm:

Who knows? Doesn't matter to me how it went down. It's The Guster's and Will's asses on the line so their decision.
However, I srsly doubt it went down as explained or that Bama made a push to keep him.
-
Something's a little too fishy here.
Saban didn't want Thompson and Thompson's first choice was Auburn, and Auburn just so happened to want Thompson. Saban is okay with this and blesses the decision. Alabama's beat writers are hinting they could work together again in the future.
Hmmm...

So what they are saying is that saban wants to coach at Auburn?

Yep. I'm suspicious too. The Art of War could be happening in plain view.

By golly, I think you've got it.
"Saban accepts consulting job at Auburn. Destroys program from within. Alabama reveals they never took his name off the official head coach line on the football program."

James Willis. It happens

*** Sources tell us that Thompson told Saban that Auburn was his top choice and Saban blessed the move to Auburn -- he didn't have any problems with Thompson moving to Alabama's SEC West rival.
Good luck in whatever you do.

This guy is the #1 recruiter nationally, has put a lot of LB's in the NFL....and they tell him to leave? Not buying it. In case they didn't notice, their DL was a big issue against Ohio State and Auburn - not Thompson.
Multiple sources tell us? Give me a break. Reveal em or shutup. How would anyone know that convo took place? They wouldn't.

I don't know man. It's not just one source. It's multiple. I wouldn't have believed it about the rampant cross dressing among xer's if it were just one source. But I've heard it from multiple ones. So, where there is smoke, you know.

Reading a couple of articles on Corch Thompson and obviously, one of his big strengths is how well he recruits. But, I found this little tidbit in one of the articles.
"His Alabama recruits included Julio Jones, A.J. McCarron, Mark Barron, D.J. Fluker and Trent Richardson, according to ESPN".
I'ma axe you to take off the orange and blue glasses first. Then, I'ma leave that here for a while and let it soak in.

Is your point that 80 percent of his recruits are black? He's racist?

Thompson is Albetar....Albetar is Thompson?

Just humor him and move on.

Wasn't hashed enough. No one on this board has spelled out the name Trent. It's tRent. We all shook our heads at the bought and paid for Julio. Everyone had their inside sources on how much it took to get him to Bama. Yahoo Sports did a piece on Fluker and even NTYF did one too because the man was gettin' paid. Who was behind every single one of those? Lance Thompson. Oh, Auburn does things the right way while evil Bama is putting the best team money can buy on the field. Then we hire the guy who brokered all those deals and Auburn fans are, "Hell yeah".
The guy didn't suddenly see the error of his ways and decide he wanted to get on board at a place where he could wipe the slate clean and be a good Christian man. Do things the right way. The Auburn way. He's dirty. Nobody face palm if/when we get hammered. Saban is untouchable. We aren't. We're a target and we just told the world we're about to play the game on their level.

You are assuming that the coach that is listed as their recruiter is the one who forked over cash, which is rarely the case. That shit is far removed from the recruiting front lines. I think the guy is a good recruiter regardless.

That's fine. I'll sit back and wait for all the weak sauce excuses for justifying we're okay with this hire. The bottom line is this guy has a history of sealing the deal on numerous 5 star recruits and we're all hoping and praying he does the same for us. We'll put our heads in the sand or fingers in our ears because we don't want to know how he does it. Just do it and keep it down home, cuz.
While he's doing it at Bama, he's the dirtiest player in the game. Here, he's a great recruiter. No, he's not paying the money personally. But I'm 150% certain he's recruiting the kids and finding out what it's going to take to get them to sign. Whether it's in the kids pocket or the remodeling of mama's kitchen. Then he let's the people who are "far removed from the recruiting front lines" know what it's going to take and how to handle it.
I can't see anyone's face. Maybe we can all Skype so I can see if you're telling me with a straight face that you believe this guy signed Julio Jones, DJ Fluker and tRent Richardson....just for starters...and he's not dirty as hell. Please tell me you don't think he had anything to do with brokering those deals.
It's not suddenly okay just because Auburn now signs his paycheck.

Blasphemy!! Shut yur whore mouth.
o.k., so it's a good point. And we didn't discuss but I do think that it's concerning.
I was more concerned about his being a spy in a Sun Tzu type move by Saban. His mentor filmed opposing practices. I don't think that there is any doubt that there have been several Saban orchestrated flips over the last few years.
I just didn't understand the lateral move. Saban obviously thought enough of him to hire him twice. He's a 50 yr old that isn't a rising star, as he's been a DC and moved down to position coach.
And I doubt it was a money move by Thompson. I haven't seen his pay but I'm suspecting it's similar.
But, Thompson's working with Will in the past and the fact that Saban may indeed be difficult to work for are likely big factors. And maybe Saban was truly pushing him out. I would imagine that the D line and LB's get more blame, since it is Kirby and Saban that coach the DB's. If so, that's the best scenario for us. Hopefully, Thompson has a chip on his shoulder and will work harder to win the war.
So, maybe it just boiled down to his wanting to come to AU and work with Will. Less stress and similar money.
Re: his past recruits, we I overlook those transgressions if he helps us land mowr starz.

What I do think is you are getting your blood boiling over conjecture. Not to get cliche, but do we not think Gus or Will vetted the guy and "trust Gus"? Do we know he was dirty? Even if he was, would he still be for dirty for us? Or did Gus hash all that out with him before the hire?
I can make a hypothetical that he cheated at Bama but tired of the lifestyle and culture and wanted out - just as easy as the aforementioned hypotheticals. I wouldn't worry too much about what we don't even know. At some point, I do like to refer back to the Boom Brothers and trust their judgement. Can Thompson really do that at AU if there is no piggy bank to scoop from for these kinds of things? If there is one, then we have bigger issues than him.
Saban, Smart, Tom and other boosters names have always been in the headlines for shady shit. Not sure Ive seen many of our folks consider him the dirtiest player in the game. The others - yes...him? Not so sure.

I believe my post was the antithesis of that.
RIF - Snags referred to doing things the Auburn way. The right way. Because of his disdain for hiring this guy. And what is considered hypocrisy.
Hiring Thompson and rolling the dice there is far from being a Creeder. Stating that we have a coach that isn't fucking around and is willing to look those inbred fucks in the eye and take their coach, smile about it and do whats needed to win - I'm not getting where you think that is Creedish at all. Its anything but. Its edgy. Its risky. And its pretty damn cutthroat. I like it.

The lateral move is curious but I don't suspect anything any more than the Willis hire. He recruits well but I'm more interested in his ability to improve talent, something we seem to lack.

Saban also addressed both departures from his defensive staff.
He said Steele "certainly handled this situation and this opportunity in a first-class way."
Thompson made his second move to one of Alabama's SEC rivals. Back in 2009, he landed in Tennessee after two years on Saban's staff. This time, he's headed to Auburn.
"We've had several opportunities and given Lance several opportunities through the years and this same circumstance has occurred several times before and I can't really tell you why coaches do what they do," Saban said. "I think the best thing you can do is ask him, not me. We'll do the best we can to find the best replacement for him. The guy did a good job when he was with us and we wish him well. We've always wished him well and we'll continue to have the best program we can have for our players and get the best coaches and teachers for our players."
