I think he transferred back but was having knee issues.

Not sure if he will rejoin the team or not.

Things are looking up! I honestly think by the time 2017 rolls around we will have a very competitive roster. You have to think we are going to get a lot of really good transfers from other schools who are ready to play day 1. I am already excited for the first home game it is going to be electric

I think this is exactly right. It isn't lip service to say you will get playing time. If you've been riding the bench at a big time school and see the opportunity available at UAB, you might just make the switch.

i expect our previous S&C coach return at the end of the 2015 season (i have absolutely no basis for this, whatsoever)

Agree with Lair. I would expect Zac to return at the end of this season.

Maybe because he left the Green Bay Packers to come here. Surely, he'll leave our biggest rival to come back.

Thought he was coming back for his degree, but would play his last season with the Jagoffs?

Would he be interested in a GA position after he gets that UAB degree?

Ah I had saw he was returning via Twitter with no explanation. Sorry

I wonder if they'd let him get an extra year if he started working on a master's degree or something.

We need to have a Senior Day THIS year, for any player on campus who graduates this year. And another next year. Honor them, humiliate Pumpkin Head. A win all around.

Let's do Senior day at the Spring game. I will put it on our agenda.
