Any chance the goofy fuck screaming about H1N1 on TV goes with Kirby to UGA?   I can't get to the fucking remote fast enough when that bullshit comes on.  

Congrats to Tommy Tuberville, and I wish him the best in Lubbock.   I hope he puts something special together there.

I haven't seen the Chizik version.  However, I'm going to call it a safe assumption that it's not as fucking retarded and obnoxious as that red headed waterhead screaming about going to get injected because his screamin' ass said so..."and that's all I gotta know."

Texas Tech finished in the final polls ranked 21st and has 21 recruits listed as verbals with 4 commitments.
I sincerely want the best for Tubs only the blogs that I have visited all have the same tone describing Lubbock in the middle of nowhere and Tommy as being desperate. But overwhelmingly, the blogs say this is the best thing to ever happen for the program.

Also, it appears the Pete Carroll deal is on with the Seahawks only not official yet.  Is the USC program about to be hammered by the NCAA in the coming months? Carroll has passed on better opportunities than this, although the money is surely there, one unnamed source estimating the figure at 7M for 5 years.

As soon as Leach was fired, I had this feeling Tubs would be TTU's next coach. Even when reports were saying they weren't going to go with him, I just had a feeling in the end he would be. It just fits for some reason.

Here's hoping he does well, but not MNC well.

One of four teasers on a Texas Tech site stated Tub's was intent on keeping the staff intact which would indicate that he will attempt to keep those he actually wants and work in his guys piecemeal. If anyone can win over the favor of a fanbase that is pissed about their head coach being screwed, it's Tuberville.

                                                                         The perception is that he was screwed,
                                                                          but that isn't necessarily what I think.

He would have dominated the Big East. 

Texas Tech?  Not so much of chance recruiting against Texas and Oklahoma.  Nebraska's on the rise too.

At first, I was in this boat.  

Now, I'm not so sure.  The Big 12 hates defense for the most part.  The two teams in the Big 12 championship this year both had great defensive coaches.  I think Tuberville's coaching alone will push TT's defense into the top 5 in the league.  If he can pull off a win or two that he shouldn't, I can see the NC game a possibility.  

If he has a chance though, it will be earlier in his career there rather than later.

I've always said, once Texas Tech gets a strong defense, they'll be unstoppable.  But I figured that they'd keep their same offense.

I agree guys, no one ever said the guy couldn't be a force, especially coaching up talent. But I always felt we were always Ms. Congeniality in the SEC, especially the way we showed against Georgia, LSU and Arkansas. Letting Alabama getting the upper hand was the final straw. If Jetgate was a symptom, Saban is a tumor.

Post by: jadennis on January 10, 2010, 03:02:21 PM
I'm on my phone so I'm not looking it up, but I think the TT defense has been pretty good the last couple years.  I think they led the Big 12 in sacks last year.  I think it turned around when he fired his old DC and named Ruffin McNeal DC.  Good thing on offense is that the current staff are all young guys (been the 2-3 yrs), so they're likely to be there for at least a couple years.

Yup, that's what I've been hearing too.

Quote
Smart played defensive back for Georgia from 1995-98, making All-SEC as a senior,  and began his coaching career as an administrative assistant at Georgia in 1999. He also coached running backs at UGA in 2005.

For most of his coaching career, Smart has worked under Nick Saban -– at LSU (2004), the Miami Dolphins (2006) and Alabama (since 2007).  He has been the Tide’s defensive coordinator the past two seasons.

Saban seemed to be sending a pointed message to Smart on Friday when he said at a news conference that assistant coaches should not make lateral career moves.

“I’m not pleased when guys make lateral moves because it’s a little bit human nature to think, like my dad used to say, the grass is always greener on top of the septic tank,” Saban said. “You always think it’s better someplace else. You kind of let your ego get involved, and you make moves that you shouldn’t make and really aren’t in your best interests for a career standpoint.”

I think Alabama was in pretty good shape before. Since the NC game, UGA is making another push and offering to pay him in the neighborhood of $800,000 a year. Yes, thats $800k a year. He would be stupid to not take that, unless he is being offered a "head coach in waiting" type deal at Alabama. Unless UA is looking to give the coordinators a substantial across the board raise, I just don't see them paying him $800k a year. Thats a shitload of money for a coordinator.

What if the guy simply doesn't want to stay at Alabama for personal reasons if he's offered similar money elsewhere?  Is it possible?

Sure it would be possible. The issue here is UGA already offered him similar money, and he turned it down. But now, UGA has made a new push since the NC game. If somebody is going to DOUBLE your pay, and you probably won't have to work as much as you are now, isn't that a pretty good deal? Smart made $369,350k at Alabama each year. Thats before any kind of performance bonuses. UGA is his alma mater, as well as his wife's. They both played sports there. Even if he went, I could understand because of the personal ties. But when they are offering to double the money, then that changes things.

I was reading ESPN.com and nearly died. Apparently CTT is trying to hire Neal Brown as his OC. Neal Brown is the OC for..........Troy. Brown is the youngest FBS coordinator at 29 years old. Sound familiar? At least at TT, the groundwork is already there and they already run something very similar to this.

I wondered about him.  Troy was up top again in offense this year....it only makes sense to check into him.  And you're right, it wouldn't be a culture shock to the players or the existing staff (ie, opposite of the situation at Auburn, so comparison's need be made).

I doubt SPuat will fork out $800k for a Co-DC/Co-DB Coach when the HC is the Defensive Coordinator/Co-DB Coach.  Coach Sheban probably told him that the UGA ship is sinking and that if he jumps on it now, he'll more than likely go down with it.
