Lubbock BBQ Will Never Know What Hit Em

This is one of my favorites from "Silent Movie".
Feldman co-wrote the Python " Four Yorkshiremen " skit.
 He and Rowan Atkinson were honorary members of the troupe I would say.
I'm a bit of a comedy freak.

I guess RWS will be very surprised about Smart to Georgia.

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.

RWS - I haven't said this yet this week - please FUCK OFF and go back to your bammer boards.

FYI, Saban has announced that Smart is staying at Alabama.

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.

[jadennis]

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).

Well looks like Coach Smart isn't so....smart after all.

[RWS]

....unless Alabama offered him the same or something similar. If he was offered comparable money at Alabama, or a "head coach in waiting" type thing, then stay where you are. Which leads me to my next thought; I can't believe we're going to pay a coordinator around $800k.

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.

You just won the MNC. Money's flowing freely. It's growing on PHUKING trees.

No - Satan aimed his laser eyes at Smart's manhood and threatened to surgically remove his beans and franks if he left bammer.

Or...that.  Either one is possible.
