Justin Fuente turning down all suitors. Good man. You can't beat Blacksburg for a long, enjoyable HC career. Good pay. Cheap cost of living. Trustworthy fan base and administration.
I really didn't even want to get into it because I understand how it looks, and it's obviously nothing to joke about. I thought we might be able to have a somewhat normal conversation about it in here but clearly not, thanks for being so quick about it. If he did anything wrong he needs to go to jail, we can leave it at that for now.Duh! He's a star football player.
lots of integrityJustin Fuente turning down all suitors. Good man. You can't beat Blacksburg for a long, enjoyable HC career. Good pay. Cheap cost of living. Trustworthy fan base and administration.
Yeah I don't know what happened just like I didn't know what happened when Treon Harris got accused at Florida. I was just making a dumb joke about a dark subject. Most of us here probably remember the Jeremy Stephens story that came out several years ago. I have no doubt that Washington and Baylor aren't the only places stuff like that has gone on.I really didn't even want to get into it here because I understand how it looks, and it's obviously nothing to joke about.

Maybe it's the SEC in me, but even though Georgia sucks I think that's awesome.
I'm shocked someone in Birmingham didn't figure this out after Kick 6.I'd run his ### off the road.
Best sport
This is definitely not a Jerramy Stevens situationYeah I don't know what happened just like I didn't know what happened when Treon Harris got accused at Florida.

Awesome and horrible simultaneously.Maybe it's the SEC in me, but even though Georgia sucks I think that's awesome.
Several reports locally have said the woman tried to contact Anderson to attend social gatherings together. Sounds like a bootie call/one night stand gone wrong and when the girl wanted more Anderson blew her off. We should all know the entire story in a few days. Sad that on the local football forums her picture and social media sites were shared.This is definitely not a Jerramy Stevens situation
OK, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing, but what is "rape by instrumentation"?Hasn't been much talk about it in here but this Rodney Anderson rape accusation is really weird. It happened on November 16th, and she didn't remember anything until December 4th. The police report is incredibly sparse, and according to Anderson's attorney he has multiple text messages from her (in between the 16th and 4th) where she is trying to instigate a relationship with him. He is denying everything. I'm not sure if he's still with the team right now or what but from what I am reading they expect the investigation to be done soon and charges are extremely unlikely.
It could. Or any other object you stick inside somebody without their consent.OK, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing, but what is "rape by instrumentation"?
Please tell me it doesn't involve a sousaphone.

Oregon insidersReports from what sources?
Mostly Rodney Anderson's attorney and "people" who say they are close to the story. WTF do I know could all be made up.Reports from what sources?
His attorney. I'm sure he still has the messages. I'm not really sure why that would matter if he did rape her in November since she's claiming that she didn't remember anything until last weekend. It's just really weird and sad.Reports from what sources?
You just can't help yourself from being an ### can you? By the way, Leavitt himselt tweeted "what makes you think I am going to FSU " I think he probably goes unless Oregon offers him the head coaching job.Oregon insiders
Twitter has really devalued the word "source"
It sure is nice of UT to help Bama figure out if Pruitt will be a decent successor to Saban or not. That way Bama won't have to roll the dice on Pruitt themselves in a few years having no idea if he can be a HC or not.Pruitt to UT seems done. Good hire considering the ####show they had, as long as he doesn't bang all the women in the admin offices.
I’m guessing that’s Dabo’s job if he wants it when Saban retires.It sure is nice of UT to help Bama figure out if Pruitt will be a decent successor to Saban or not. That way Bama won't have to roll the dice on Pruitt themselves in a few years having no idea if he can be a HC or not.
Every year pre-CFP. I doubt he stays like Kirby did. Lupoi slides in but we’ll have to pull from somewhere to fill a big hole (especially DB oriented).Pruitt to UT seems done. Good hire considering the ####show they had, as long as he doesn't bang all the women in the admin offices.
That’s what everyone says. It’s funny because I mentioned it 5 years ago to a few Bama friends right after we beat LSU in the peach and had 11 wins. You would have thought I suggested Hitler with how appalled they were that someone named Dabo could take their prized Bama program over some day. Now I can barely get through my coffee without someone razzing me about “when momma comes calling” and how Dabo is heading for Bama. I digress.I’m guessing that’s Dabo’s job if he wants it when Saban retires.
Yeah he's going back to bama at some point. It's in the bag. But he may not be the next guy. I agree that I wouldn't want to be the very next guy...That’s what everyone says.

I think theyll offer it to him, but I do sincerely think he won’t take it at this point. It’s weird to think of it this way, but I think Dabo’s love from that time in his life is actually more for Gene Stallings, and then somewhere down the line for Bama itself. Besides, he’s been in Clemson for over a decade now. His son goes to Clemson, his next son will go to Clemson, his wife is super involved with the local church and the LIFE program. I’m not saying it won’t ever happen, but I think every year that passes it becomes less likely than the year before. Besides, who wants to be the guy that follows Saban and lives in that shadow when you’re a living legend already in a Clemson?
If you had asked me a few years ago, yeah I would have thought so. I’m not so sure now. He’s built the program to the point that he can do the same things he can do at Bama. He won the title and it’s not one of 12 like it would be there, it’s one of two. He’s going to get a statue, he’s going into the ring of honor, he’s a living legend at Clemson now.Yeah he's going back to bama at some point. It's in the bag. But he may not be the next guy.

Why be the next Bear or Saban when you can be Clemson's iconic coach.Jayrok said:He's in the process of building his own "Bear Bryant"-type legacy at Clemson. Why would he leave that to go and try to live up to both Bear and Saban? Doesn't make sense unless it is stupid money. Even then, Dabo is about as genuine as you'll ever see. I don't think dollar signs motive him. I'd be very surprised to see him leave SC for Alabama, or anywhere else. But time will tell.
He will punch that crackhead looking mascot on the way out the door, if Tuscaloosa calls.
I'm wrong..Pruitt will stay on thru the CFP.gump said:Every year pre-CFP. I doubt he stays like Kirby did. Lupoi slides in but we’ll have to pull from somewhere to fill a big hole (especially DB oriented).
When they are building something special, sure. You can knock Clemson all you want but they have a very good program.Why be the next Bear or Saban when you can be Clemson's iconic coach.
That mascot doesn't actually represent Clemson, it represents what every Deep South meth user sees when they wake up everyday.He will punch that crackhead looking mascot on the way out the door, if Tuscaloosa calls.
That’s what I’m saying.When they are building something special, sure. You can knock Clemson all you want but they have a very good program.
Oh good christ, Mike Shula and Mike Dubose were given jobs to coach this school. Can we dial back the reverence just a touch?bigmarc27 said:That’s what everyone says.

And the guy who was doing the stripper the night he got hired!Oh good christ, Mike Shula and Mike Dubose were given jobs to coach this school. Can we dial back the reverence just a touch?
He looks just like I thought he would."With Pruitt's hire, agent Jimmy Sexton now represents 11 head coaches in the SEC".

ALL THE MIKES!!!!!And the guy who was doing the stripper the night he got hired!
Alabama fans DO seem to forget that 15 year period before Saban, and act like it can't happen again when that guy's heart gives out -- Gump and jplvr excluded.
That'd be Mike Price. I tell all the young people to enjoy this, because a stretch like this may never be seen again.And the guy who was doing the stripper the night he got hired!

Oh yea. He's right out of central casting.He looks just like I thought he would.

Oregon State: Former Nebraska and Oregon State head coach Mike Riley has rejoined the Beavers as an assistant head coach. Riley went 93-80 as Oregon State head coach from 1997-98 and 2003-14. New head coach Jonathan Smith was a player and assistant under Riley.
Best agent in sports. "Jon, you've got a layover in NY, so please send a few tweets about how much you love the city and would like to live there someday. Then you're going to have dinner in Knoxville - there will be a Vols hat shipped to your hotel room for you to wear about town. Take lots of pictures. We've got another Corona shoot and then we're going back to ESPN to re-work your deal."40+ new pages added to the Gruden thread today over at Volnation.
They just hired a solid coach. What in the sam hill would they talk about Gruden for?40+ new pages added to the Gruden thread today over at Volnation.
