Cynical

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!

Good. I want the Bills to win games, make playoffs, and win championships. As a fan, that's far more important than seeing my team appear on some reality show. The only reality show I give a crap about is the that takes place on game day.

Chokelahoma at it's finest.

The Auburn nightmare is complete. "Total nighmare season. We lose to a CUSA team in a bowl game. uga vs bama championship in ATL likely. Gus gets not only a ridiculous extension, but a sickening raise." https://scout.com/college/auburn/Board/102332/Contents/God-hates-Auburn-113060507

I think it's more known than unknown. Back in October/November, Watkins did an interview with USA today, and he admitted he is still struggling with reading defensive coverages. Just recently, he admitted Goff, at times, had to explain to him, in the huddle, some of the offensive concepts of a called play. This is not a good look for a 4th year WR. If he's still struggling with the mental part of the game, his only asset is his speed = Decoy ability.

The writer needs to get a grip: Last time I looked: Pruitt is coaching in the CFP. Schiano - Not. Pruitt has 3 NC rings, 2 with Bama as a position coach, and 1 with FSU as a DC. Schiano - None. Pruitt is considered one of the best recruiters in the country. I also find it ironic the writer took a shot a Pruitt for coaching HS ball as a DC while Sciano was coaching Rutgers (Rutgers!) to an 11-2 record. Somebody needs to remind him where OSU found Schiano. (Hint: It wasn't at the NFL or collegiate level).

As a Bama fan, I found that statement damn funny.

That's the guy! IIRC, there was interview with Pat Williams when he was still a Bill, and Pat singled out and praised Rusty for his work. If you go back in the thread, YOLO updated one of his posts showing McD made some changes in that area. Here's hoping the new guys are an upgrade to what the Bills have had.

Would not surprise me if his agent has already been in prelim talks with the Rams regarding Sammy's future with the team, and got feedback that was not the kind of feedback an agent wants to hear. In this article, Sammy admits to struggling with the offensive plays ("... Goff often asks him in the huddle if he knows what he's doing on a certain play, a certain route concept and—eyes wide, shaking his head—Watkins will admit he does not."). In an article back in late October, Sammy admitted he is still struggling with reading defensive coverage. This is all on top of being called out by Goff for quitting on play earlier in the season. No wonder his production sucks.

Now you did it. The Sammy cult will not like this.

Could be? I think the training staff issue has been a problem in Buffalo for years now. Ever since the Bills lost that trainer from the 90's (I cannot remember his name at the moment), the players on this team have been constantly nicked up, injured, weight issues, etc.

Throwing TP is an Auburn's fan favorite way to celebrate.

Interesting rumor on Bama's next DC. https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/alabama-football/paul-finebaum-thinks-former-auburn-coach-gene-chizik-interested-alabama-dc-job/

Supposedly, Pruitt has been offered the job. But rumors are flying about a sticking point: Pruitt wants to continue coaching the Bama D until they are done. Given the new early signing date, not sure if Phil will accept that. UT fans are hoping Pruitt will bring Tosh Lupoi and Scott Cochran with him to Knoxville. That's pure fantasy.

HOT TAKE! New mystery candidate has appeared on the Volnation board: "Rex Ryan is certainly better than any assistant coach we are interviewing- He actually beat Bill Belichick - I would be happy with this hire- Impressive & proven Resume " OH, PLEASE, YES!!!!!!!!!! Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please let this be true. Pretty please with a big ol' red f***ing cherry on top!!! It's probably pure BS, but at least I can dream.

Maybe, but I would not bet on it. After Phil was introduced as the AD, one Volnation member posted "They just handed the keys to the guy who drove the program into the ditch to begin with". Football is all about what have done for me lately, and Phil's record his last 4 years is not something to brag about. 2 seasons under .500, and 1 season with double digit wins.

Haslam is despised by most UT fans. The fans blame Haslam for the AD Currie and for the coaches Dooley and Jones being hired. You would think Phat Phil being given the AD job would unite the UT fan base given his success. It hasn't. It's about a 50/50 split based on the latest poll on Volnation. And the latest on the Ut coaching search: https://www.seccountry.com/tennessee/kevin-steele-football-candidate-tennessee-vols Looks like Phil had the list down to about 5 choices: Clemson DC Venables, Auburn DC Steele, Georgia DC Tucker, Bama DC Pruitt, and SMU HC Morris. He can cross off Morris as it appears he is going to Arky.

It appears Chad Morris is the choice for the next HC at Arky. https://www.seccountry.com/arkansas/internet-reaction-chad-morris-hired-new-razorbacks-head-coach

Saw this on a Bama board. Pretty much sums up the TN coaching search.

Yeah, Florida is just a big black hole of talent. Saban has already been recruiting against Jimbo. What makes you think it will now be different?

OUCH! https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/tennessee-is-a-bright-orange-glowing-tire-fire-and-theres-no-end-in-sight/ Screw the popcorn, I'm getting out the marshmallows.

It appears Fat Phil got his wish. He's been named AD. http://utsports.com/news/2017/12/1/football-phillip-fulmer-appointed-to-lead-tennessee-athletics.aspx

No shortage of drama today. https://www.tomahawknation.com/2017/12/1/16723758/jimbo-fisher-florida-state-transfer-texas-am

First, define "beat". Right now Gus is 2-3 vs Bama and 2-3 vs UGA. That will not suffice in Auburn land. Winning these 2 games on consistent basis is a must for the AU coach. If Auburn can't beat UGA in the SECCG, things will get dicey at AU. The AU athletic dept is in turmoil with scandals rocking the mens BB and womens SB programs, and Jay Jacobs stepping down. Rumors are swirling the womens BB could also be in trouble. Not to mention Gus lost a power struggle at the end of last season. I could see him bolt if AU loses to UGA.
