What people were upset about was that Red went on public airwaves with his opinion that makes the university look bad and that he knew would get picked up nationally. That is the issue.

Aren't then Burton and Orangebloods starting to align somewhat? It seems as though it's a Fisher, Briles, Strong race at the moment. Both sites have made a reference of Patterson possibly not waiting around for Fisher. Inside Texas is still indicating a Saban, Fisher, Briles race with Strong...

In what ended up as their two biggest games of the year, both outside of Waco, the team completely wet its pants. Briles has devote all his energy towards scoring points that leaves things like defense and disciplined football neglected. This is an an attitude problem. His teams have given up...

Harbaugh has never even been an offensive or defensive coordinator at the college or pro level. He is the classic CEO model approach. What systems will he run? Will he recruit to those systems? What happens when a coordinator leaves, do we have to scrap the offense and defense and start over...

It's going to have to be a straight up money whip for Fisher. Does Texas go 7 years 50 million for him?

There are too many posters on there trying to be comedians. It's a free board trying to masquerade itself as a premium board. It's college kids hanging out at a bar

Malzahn was the offensive coordinator at Auburn from 2009-2011. Every offensive player on that roster save the 2013 class was recruited under his watch and needed Malzahn's signoff to get a scholarship. They were players recruited for his offensive system. Those are every much "his" players as...

Dizz, Correct me if I'm wrong, but I know there was a decent faction on Orangebloods against Briles and thought you were among them? I know there have been quite a few that have come around or changed their minds though.

JS on IT just issued a response on a thread that he doesn't believe Saban would come after his remarks to the press. I agree. I think it's done and over with.

My vibe is still our power structure will find a way for the deal to fall through. Maybe it's not being able to agree to all of Saban's terms or not resolving the Mack situation in a timely and amicable manner.

Here is take based on McPhaul's post 1) Mack is prepared to make things ugly and force the regime's hand to "fire" him, instead of "retire" 2) Saban would prefer Mack "retire" so it doesn't look like he's running Mack out of town.

1) Even if OB's breaks the official news, it won't matter. IT was way ahead of this story than anyone from the get go and all parties will know that. 2) Travis knows exactly what he did. He's not allowing any comments to that blog post for a reason.

Well Mack isn't coming back, which means Robinson isn't coming back, which means the position probably needs to start looking for other employment. The position coach is probably Davis or Giles. Manny was ruining their careers with his clown scheme.

I'm almost convinced the OB's mods were behind the "incident" The insiders at the time were getting a lot of attention and starting to take front and center. I don't think Ketch liked that at all and wanted Chip to remain as the single source of information on that site. I don't think they mind...
