Given the probably budget, and everyone in the country's awareness of Dilfer's seat, it'll definitely be someone without previous college coordinating experience. The good news is that there's enough open spots on defense that the coordinator should be able to bring in his own guys to coach the positions (assuming Dilfer doesn't handicap that), which is a lot more than a lot of schools will offer.

IF Sione is taking his place then Ingram and Dilfer need fired both for hiring malpractice. Sione has zero college coaching experience (besides this Dilfsaster experiment) and zero recruiting experience (unless he was on that got Lipscomb in trouble for recruiting violations).


Every thing Ingram and Dilfer has done since they announced he's back for another year is a gut punch to fans.
WE have to protest at the Ark State game and we have to protest at the Birmingham Bowl.


I have emailed JOX, Next Round, all local news about the national articles on Ingram/Dilfer. Something has to give, and I won't stop until someone talks about it.

Trust me, I have emailed Ingram once in October and talked him over the phone. This is when Washington Post and CBS Sports articles came out. He told me that anyone can be a journalist these days and write whatever they want and publish online. This guy is clueless. I then sent him a more stern email last week telling him that the only way to save his legacy and not continue to be the worst AD in the country that made the worst FBS hire in over a decade is to fire Dilfer. I also emailed Watts.

I am basically spamming local sports radio and news stations email, twitter mentions and IG mentions. I will probably end up calling into Jox this week or next if nothing else has been mentioned.

So far the only response I received was from CBS42 in which they replied:
"Thanks for the info. This is really good eye opening stuff."

I wouldn't want to waste him with this staff, but whenever we get a new coaching staff, I would go after Zach Potter to be Director of Recruiting and team him up with a good NIL manager/recruiter. He is the best general manager in the UFL. The Stallions always reload with great players, and not all of them are from P4 schools. CJ Marable, our best RB last season, was from Coastal Carolina.

We need to steal Greg Seitz, Jax State's AD, while we're at it.

Down with Fumbles!

Great choice. While we made a terrible rebrand, I think Jax State made a fantastic rebrand. Jax State gives them better name recognition. Too many people thought they were in Jacksonville, FL or mistook them for Jackson State.
And at UAB we change our logos to a generic Microsoft Word font.

The next UAB president is so damned important, and I have zero trust in the BoT to deliver excellence.

Greg Seitz is a great guy and a few of us on here know him personally. First met him in 2008 and we worked together for three years in some capacity. A lot of things we talked about back then have come true for them and I am happy he has been a big part of it.

Got to get rid of Fumbles first.

Priority One.

Nothing else matters, honestly.
