Lil Christmas Info

Here's the deal man. I work here, so you can take this how you want, but I take Saban news or anything with a grain of salt. The entire point of any message board is discussion, and discussion means a wide variety of things from a wide variety of people.
Im not going to flame you, but I am going to question what your motivation is for the six posts you've laid down so far. I could be wrong, and you could really want to talk a wide variety of subjects, but from the outside looking in it seems like all you did was come here to bitch. Instead, maybe start a thread and tell us what you think? I am all ears.

Nice post

 
There's a new thread on OB saying the Jimbo is the number one target by Patterson and that Jimbo is very interested. TIFWIW

 
Whisenant, he is the same way on another board that I frequent.

I just saw that. Thanks for sharing

 
Maybe EM can chime in. Counter to OB, JS has been receiving "texts and calls" to not mention anything about that guy. FWIW.

 
Actually a done deal is almost always better having a backup plan in place. Right up to the signing of the deal. Even after. It puta pressure on the other party to fulfill their agreement and thereafter live up to it. It's a basic part of negotiating.
In my life, my biggest disappointments have been due to not having a backup plan in place. Total reliance on one outcome is a formula for disaster.

I think Texas got in trouble with Coach Brown by not having a backup plan. Years ago when Dodds, McCombs, Jamail and Moffett told him he could leave Texas on his terms there was no backup plan in place. They did not equate for the fact that Mack could lose control of the program ( for whatever reason, that's a different debate.) failure to have a backup plan has lead to four years in he wilderness. Lost and wandering about.

Had he been told he could leave on his own terms provided he meet certain benchmarks we would have had a backup plan. I don't believe anyone ever gave Coach Brown those benchmarks. That's on DeLoss and Mack and anyone else that made that statement to a coach Brown.

I have first hand knowledge that the Moffett camp has been out of Mack's corner for some time. Jamail's camp has been like trying to knock out Rocky Balboa.

 
OK, but I am not trying to catch anyone in anything. I am just finding it hard to know what to believe? Do you think I am alone?

no I understand the feeling, but just dont think people are trying to backtrack or crawfish. what they are reporting is as of today, and that's my only personal expectation

I work in Insurance in real life so Patterson setting up some backup moves in case he needs to break the glass in case of a fire on the Saban situation seems very smart to me

This pisses me off beyond words. Nick (and the rest of Bellmont) picks their "chosen one" who they feed info to and allow him to make hundreds of thousands of dollars selling access to the info they give him in exchange for helping them manipulate the program's message.

They then treat the rest of the social media as bitter enemies, monitor posts and seek to silence who they deem not to be friends of the program. Bellmont refuses to listen to what is being said and the fanbase begins to disengage, a trand which continues to gather speed.

Social media outside the "chosen co-manipulator" develops an information system outside Bellmon't umbrella that seeks to find out what is going on with the program and discuss what changes we need to see before we are willing to re-engage with the program. Bellmont determines this this information system to be against the interests of the status quo and sends "texts and emails" designed to silence those who are part of this fan supported system. After "texts and emails" there will, of course, be added pressure designed to protect the position of people who have utterly failed to effectively manage the message of the program, to protect those who have refused to open a dialog with fans on social media and designed to protect the hundreds of thousands of dollars flowing to Bellmont's "chosen one."

This is total bullsh!t.

I hope JS tells Nick to shove his stauts quo, his inept message manipulation attempts, his determination to list enemies of the program and his insistence that the "chosen one" is the only one allowed to pass along info and shove it up his ass.

Bellmont needs to start understanding we want change. Change at the top of the program, change in the structure of the program, change in coaches, change in how the program is portrayed in public perception and change in how the program sees its fans. We aren't enemies. Rather, we are fed up with sclerotic incompetence.

Nick, take your tweets, your emails, your subtle pressure and your overt threats and shove them. JS, speak until your actions promote change inside the program that must happen before the program starts to heal.
