Re: Our recent players & coaches leaving may be a blessing in

Don't know about the coaches yet and won't until next year but does anyone remember when we got 'stuck' with 'second-choice' Trenton Simpson after Justin Flowe balked? That's turned out pretty well. Who would have wanted that the other way around?
Dabo knows what he is doing. He probably started scouting Nick Eason's potential successor before he was named as the new DL coach. I believe what someone else posted already - that Dabo knew Bates would bail and he only gave him the raise to make it easier to get Nick Eason on staff. Not a coincidence that the raise brought up our DL coach salary to pretty much match what Eason had at Auburn. This aw shucks Bama boy is a chess not checkers kind of guy. Don't let the drawl and the smile fool you. Our coach is a tactician with great instincts - we are lucky to have him.
