Dye Hard All Topic

I'm not one who buys in to "insider" bs but the folks who are saying this on our board have a lil cred. For example, they have never posted anything neg about au. They are saying ol DC cruits neg against Au & Bama pulling the race card frequently.

This is not the first time I have heard that one.

I would like him at AU, but I don't like what I'm hearing. It could just be rumors though.

Call it what you want but DC is dragging both instate schools through the dirt. Race card is the main thing. That and how the state of fla is much more progressive than old backwoods bama. Good results thus far though.... At least he isn't setting up prostitutes...yet

The guy from Faith? What'd they tell him?

It all comes back to Jimbo Fisher. He was under Saban at LSU and DC played at Auburn. So Jimbo tells recruits all negative stuff about Saban ( which is perfectly fine because it is all true) and tells them to trust him cause he worked for him and knows him way better than they do. And that shys them away from Bama. Then DC comes in and says well Auburn this and Auburn that and says trust me I know because I went there and talks about Au in a negative way and so boom kid shys away from Bama and AU and goes to FL St.

Yeah that's true also. So yeah I could see him having some sour feelings for U of A.

Call it what you want.

And just think. If not for the Alabama trustees, Fisher could be the UAB coach today. They nixed a proposed deal in December of 2006 that would've paid him about $600,000 a year, with half coming from boosters, to lead the Blazers.

I don't disagree with that. But, I do think Jimbo wanted the job and he was not approved and the boosters were going to cover half of his salary. I wouldn't call it jealous bammers at all. I think they made a decision based on the the position of both schools though at the time. Jimbo would have been a splash hire at UAB, even then.
