Man the state of Alabama is working on NIL for high schoolers. No chance in hell they aren't cranking out as much money as anyone else. Well maybe the Texas school push more on oil money.

Yea, coaching changes pretty much always lead to big attrition, not sure what that has to do with NIL.

Ah I forgot Kansas had a winless season in there and not just a bunch of 1-11s.

And don't forget the 3 winless Duke seasons since 2000 as well.

If we go back to the 90's you pick up a South Carolina season, another Duke season, Rutgers, Illinois, Iowa State, and OK State each had a season too. Though those were 11 game seasons, and there's a tie or two in there too.

Also from this article looks like we have an 0-12 season from Duke in 2006 and a number of 0-11 campaigns from them in the 80s and 90s.

Yeah, those players were recruited with the plan of being coached by Saban. If he leaves, their reason to be there leaves. This happened all the time before NIL stuff was around.

Oh no I think it's fine and I do still hit them up every now and then, it's just funny to me think it's considered the legit Thai place in town instead of Tuptim or that place inside the lovely hotel by the highway that killed one of its employees with carbon monoxide and keeps getting busted for human trafficking (Siam Square, for real idk how that place is at the top of so many lists).

Still no details about the contract that Sark and Texas were reportedly close to agreeing on when there was speculation about the Bama job. Still hoping Texas doesn’t do the contractual equivalent of getting a Steve Sarkisian face tat after the third date. Like yeah the third date was awesome but the first two weren’t even good. He should get a raise/extension but let’s not do some Jimbo/Mel Tucker bullshit, please.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39300403/steve-sarkisian-texas-agree-4-year-extension-2030

Football coach Steve Sarkisian has agreed to a four-year contract extension with Texas through 2030, the school announced Saturday.

Financial terms of the deal, which must be approved by the school's Board of Regents, were not released. Sarkisian's initial contract paid him nearly $6 million in 2023, and it's expected his new deal will push him closer to $10 million annually and among the top-paid coaches in the country.

Yeah, this. I'm still mixed on Sark until I see consistent evidence of improvement, and a single season's worth of games where we only broke the 40-point mark twice isn't quite enough to convince me.

I still think the training staff needs a revamp.

Hell no we aren’t. The Ohio State equivalent would be saying we don’t even want Sark as our coach (let alone getting a raise and extension) if he keeps winning like 11 games and recruiting really well but loses to hated rival Oklahoma a couple times in a row. And for it to really be equivalent you have to imagine Oklahoma is really good in this scenario, like 15-0 national champion level good.

I just think regression toward the mean is a distinct possibility and I don’t want to see us cuff ourselves to him and throw away the key after one great season. A lot of coaches have had one great season.

the less charitable case for Sark/Texas last season is we beat exactly one good team (a really good team, in Tuscaloosa), lost to an eh Oklahoma, and had several lucky wins against bad or mediocre teams

I think you can point to most teams needing a lucky win or two to get to a playoff (see washington also) and some of the lackluster performances were with Ewers out, so i don't really believe that, but you can make a case that there was a bit more lucky than good there
