Losing 8 rated top players?
Look, whether events prove them to be correct or not, these players are leaving primarily because they've been told they can get big bucks elsewhere, play in front of 70,000+. and possible for a Natty. I don't care how good their relationship is with their coach or teammates, that's pretty hard to compete against.
Explain to me how the best of relationships will work against that
I think the coach matters a lot. Recruiting, player development, game day preperation, play calling, promoting team comraderie and cohesion. But, serious question, explain how often a coach would be successful if a player has been told, and believes, that he can be a starter for a major school, make $X amount and get all sorts of exposure. How do you fight that?
And, how do we know that Des has not been as successful as anyone can be in keeping players who were thinking of entering the portal. We don't know about the ones who were seriously considering it and decided to stay.
Heck, Saban is losing several players, as is Sweeney and just about every other "name" and successful coach.
I freaking love this one!!!!!! JaMarcus Bradley made it work with everybody. Still wish Regas would’ve came back.
He will do great with lsu. It will send him to the nfl just watch. I don’t like that he leaving
Why we’re even discussing these guys is a mystery to me. They’re dead to me, except unfortunately their thread refuses to die. Kinda like Zombies.
