This post reminded me we don’t have a permanent LB coach any thoughts on who steps into that role? James Ross anyone?
January 10th, 2024 at 8:05 PM ^
I'm on board with keeping Rick Minter around, the LB's looked really good at the end of the year.
January 10th, 2024 at 8:09 PM ^
With all the buzz around McDonald as a HC candidate, I highly doubt we’ll get to keep Minter another year unless he’s the head man here in Ann Arbor. So (unfortunately) seems very unlikely.
January 10th, 2024 at 9:04 PM ^
I think the point would be that Jesse would be more likely to stay as DC if we kept Rick (his dad) on as LB coach. The elder Minter has a damn good coaching pedigree as Cinci HC, DC at ND (and others), and LB coach for the Eagles. Not sure how much he wants to coach and/or be an active recruiter at his age though…

Don't you think it's the opposite? IMO Rick would be more like to stick around as LB coach if Jesse is retained as DC/doesn't get promoted to NFL DC/etc.

They did. If not then bring back Partridge. He paid his debt to ncaa by missing out.
January 10th, 2024 at 7:14 PM ^
Anyone surprised he wasn’t fired on 1/2?
January 10th, 2024 at 7:42 PM ^
Anyone sure he was still on staff 1/2?
January 10th, 2024 at 7:16 PM ^
I hope he turncoated with the hopes to hitch his wagon to Saban just to lose anyways and Saban to leave lol
January 10th, 2024 at 7:18 PM ^
How much to sell your career down the drain? Why hire him to legitimately coach if he will go to the enemy to throw you under the bus as he just did very publicly.
January 10th, 2024 at 7:57 PM ^
Exactly. He’s a permanent walking red flag.
January 10th, 2024 at 8:02 PM ^
Sad, if he doesn't see this.
January 10th, 2024 at 7:25 PM ^
As I said on the "Who should get championship rings" thread, we can now reveal the page of the Manifesto where Stallions outlined the plan to place Helow as a double agent and feed Saban fake signs.
January 10th, 2024 at 7:36 PM ^
Conner Stalions to be announced as Alabama HC confirmed.
January 10th, 2024 at 8:03 PM ^
You have to read pretty deep into the manifesto to find where he becomes Alabama's HC
January 10th, 2024 at 7:46 PM ^
Hahahaha.
January 10th, 2024 at 7:57 PM ^
Why is nobody enraged at Bama’s clear cheating? They admire it: what an amazing move by Saban! How clever! Wait Michigan is recording stuff? Gahhhhhhhhhhh
January 10th, 2024 at 8:52 PM ^
$EC.
That's why.
January 11th, 2024 at 11:44 AM ^
The bad faith moralizing is incredible to behold.
Michigan may have violated a rule based on technicality, but fundamentally did nothing more ethically or competitively questionable than what OSU did when sharing our signs, or what Bama did in hiring Helow or any number of similar, mundane happenings. And yet the program’s detractors gleefully cling to this petty technicality while justifying or even celebrating equivalent behavior elsewhere.
In sum, it simply shows that these are people who should not be regarded as having any integrity. Either they are acting in bad faith entirely, or for some reason espouse the ideal of arbitrary and capricious authority as a virtue; I’m not sure which is worse. Either way, we should be grateful that they’re willing to showcase their turpitude so flagrantly for our benefit.
January 10th, 2024 at 8:49 PM ^
How much eligibility does Helow still have?
January 10th, 2024 at 8:51 PM ^
Not sure why anyone is downvoting you. I got a chuckle out of this.
January 10th, 2024 at 8:57 PM ^
Agreed. That was worth the laugh and at least it wasn't another NCAA Prez thread.
January 11th, 2024 at 10:11 AM ^
Because there's no source or info. Did he actually get let go already? I don't see anything about him leaving Alabama if I Google his name.
January 10th, 2024 at 8:59 PM ^
Shameless Tide
January 10th, 2024 at 9:01 PM ^
Who the hell would want to hire the guy now. If it doesn’t work out he’ll happily go to the highest bidder to share all of your plays.
January 10th, 2024 at 9:09 PM ^
Fortunately, his first and last months rent payment are the same.
