I am married actually. And I'm definately not a Bama fan.

 

No, what I really mean is that this is a great opportunity for this player to be able to go to the next level and play college football at one of the most historical and traditional schools in the country. But, I'd never sign with Nick Saban (as if I were ever good enough lol) just because of his track record. I think history repeats itself, and I'd worry about a change of command before I ever graduated. I mean, look at what he did to LSU, and then at the highest level, Miami.

Yea look at his track record. Look at all the talent he has put in the NFL as a college coach. For pete sake, the QB he recriuted to LSU (then left) was the #1 draft pick in this years NFL draft. If I'm an 17/18 year old kid and Saban is after me, I'm lookin and payin attention real hard because I could be a millionaire in about 4 or 5 years.

You tell them MPH. Come on down to Bama Mr Hightower!!!!! Coach Saban has found a home and will be around for a long time.

 

Actually I haven't heard anything about a visit to him through my contacts. Did Coach Saban actually visit him or not??

But many HS age kids will. They want to win a NC and they want to play in the NFL. With Coach Saban as their coach and being at a high profile program like Bama they have a realistic shot at both. Really think about it....he was at LSwho for 5 years, turned them around including winning a NC and several SEC championship and then he left for the coaches promised land...the NFL. He hated the NFL mainly because he is a control freak. He didn't have complete control of anything there so he wanted out. One of the best coaching jobs in nation comes open, Bama can compete with NFL salaries, Bama gives him the control he wanted and now he is at Bama. We could not be happier.

    • I have no affiliation with Maryville anymore outside of being a 2nd generation graduate from a large family of Rebel alumni. That relationship ended courtesy of the lame duck AD (a Bearden grad I might add) and the HBIC. That said, I could care less if a private school comes through and offers every promising athlete out of that school or any other school better opportunities.
    • A perfect example is for athletes at Clinton High School. I will completely understand, and hopefully everyone should understand why they want to, and as of right now, it looks like that’s going to happen in numbers over the summer.
    • I mean, that’s easy to say when it hasn’t happened to your school that often, if at all, but yeah, I think everybody should be for the student athlete or player. Whatever they think will help them or their athletic career, I feel like they should be able to do that, even if that means transferring schools. Now I don’t really get that when you have almost every offer you could want and then jump ship, but what can I say? I guess money talks. 
    • I for one am all for it. 
    • Covid killed the city because they chose not to play football in the 2020 season. Therefore, kids weren't able to practice and develop, and continuing to lift weights. Memphis basically had 7/8 graders, skipping a year, then playing 9/10 high school football. Now, there's only one team that has made a "dent" which will be Southwind (made it to the 5A semifinals last year).  If you want to go more suburbs, then it'll be Houston, which won the 6A state title, defeating Oakland Other than that, I agree.
