Your missing my point. True, money will need to be spent,but do we really want CRW to be the one spending it?

Bingo. Like giving the Glengarry leads to Moss and Levene.

This is like Elf where the 2 writers book pitch to Walter was to bring in Miles Finch to write the book.

Flat footed here.

Can’t we make an $8mil and big assistant pool offer to a guy knowing that we’ll have more $ to spend on players in 2026?

Seems like we are flushing a year and will be losing players from the program that could help in 2026 and beyond so that Mbob can retire on HIS terms and we can figure out just how much we want to give players…even though we should know this now!

I can’t disagree that if they wanted to go all out they could make a move. They should. Walters performance doesn’t warrant a return at all. I’m just looking for reasons why they might do this. I honestly agree with nat who has always told me that the commitment level overall is just not very high.

Whoever’s idea this is, should be fired on the spot.

It's the second highest in the nation as of 11-26-24.

It took Daniels dropping F bombs in BOT meetings to get Hazell out.

At this point there’s no excuse to not spend the money. It’s your cash cow and that absolutely leaves town when the SEC and BIG join forces and potentially form a super football league with divisions or tiers. If Walters is still here you can throw us on that bottom rung!

I could understand why we didn’t spend when we didn’t have the money. Hard to support an AD that has the money then won’t spend it!

Thought it was joke that we were looking at Shep and B Brohm in another thread. Guess not. Thought Shep's wife didn't like West Lala?

B Brohm to Purdue. Interesting that's even an option. Easily see a scenario in which Walters sucks at the beginning of the season and whatever new OC or DC comes on board replaces him. In essence CRW is hiring his replacement.

Can we get both as OCs

I suspect they’re just floating names with Purdue ties, however tenuous. If we thought B Brohm was the guy he’d already be two seasons into his head coaching career. He’s never coming back, nor is Shep who was another we could have given a chance 2 years ago and we didn’t. Again neither is leaving their current position for CRWs staff

Alabama is probably looking to scapegoat someone so it wouldn’t be shocking to see Shephard let go. Brohmco is a model that should raise questions and probably should be broken up, so Brian leaving isn’t crazy imo. Shouldn’t he carve his own path?

I’m on record here saying Tom is not great at this and maybe shouldn’t be taken too seriously, just saying it’s not totally crazy to think these guys may be available.

For more and better players? yes. Your preference is no new players and a new coach who comes in with absolutely nothing?

I don't get it. You act like he's got mental retardation combined with Alzheimers. Yeah, he's not a good head coach right now, he's not a drooling idiot who can't possibly find ANY talent at all.

Wait we might get Brian brohm or shep as OC?

from what i see this year, Walters is not a good judge of talent. Or else he settled for whoever he could get from the Portal.

Listen to his press conference. He speaks in generalities and has literally no clue how to run a program. He conned Bobinski and that alone should get him fired. I found it very odd they have to check in daily to see what he’s up to. Because he’s bad at his job and Bobo is too incompetent to realize a mistake and is just doubling down. Why make Ross Ade improvements if the on field performance is going to be so pathetic? Now we are 3rd fiddle in the state of Indiana

 

[pboiler18]

Delusions.

There’s not a chance Brohm would leave his brother for the same job he already has.

If Shepard gets fired he’s probably a good candidate as he’ll need a soft spot to land but if he’s not let go there’s no way he walks from Bama to a one year gig unless he’s promised the HC job after.

I think it’s just simply whoever is floating these names doesn’t know any better or how football works. They are 2 OCs with Purdue ties. That’s it. Their likeliness to take a 1 year job is quite low.

If this is who Tom D thinks we can get…sad on him on his lack of knowledge.

If this is who our HC and AD think we can get they are either lying to themselves, delusional, or THEY don’t know how football works.

Either way it’s all pathetic!

I’ve said this all year. Either he’s not smart or he’s not football smart.

He has no personality and can’t discuss at an honest or accurate level what is happening. Of course the coach isn’t going to come out and say he thinks his team sucks but he also can’t really answer basic questions about what’s happening game to game and it’s likely because he just doesn’t know.

That would also explain why we don’t adjust in game. This coach knows one thing and just does that over and over and can’t figure out why that doesn’t work!

I only ever defended the Walters hire because I thought any AD who makes a hire as good as brohm post hazell deserves the benefit of the doubt. Shep was my first choice. How would you feel about his ascent to HC if he turned around the offense as OC?

Shep is going to be a HC at point (and I hope that he was offered the chance over CRW two years ago and decided he wasn’t ready), but he’s at Bama with a staff that has not thrown him under the bus despite some offensive struggles in a few games. I checked the Bama board and no one seems to be calling for his head. The staff writers are actually defending him and think that they need stability to allow the staff a year to rebuild the roster and implement their system.

Tom may have some insider information about CRW staying, but we should be checking the unemployment line for OCs and worse it likely is someone who’s been standing there a while or is a recent promotion to OC at a small school.

Well played. One of the best movies ever.
