Now that's an all-time chime in from E right there!

Nothing like a fighting artichoke.

He's got super human levels of testosterone...it's part of his greatness.

We could really use this kid now. Sincerely, Captain Obvious

I noticed Kendal Briles retwitted Stidham's announcement. Will be interesting to hear his take on things and what becomes of him.

Slots us in top 10 recruiting rankings now I'd guess?

Ha, would they not have been working all offseason to beat us before?

Well I'm thinking someone is gonna be transferring from our current QB stable pretty soon.

Gustav with the close!

I enjoyed it.

It would be an honor to hang out with you sir.

Career suicide because of one year and then becoming OC, QB, or WR coach the next year with a raise that would more than make up for one year of reduced wage? Could be career suicide to go to a non-P5 job for all anyone knows. Just random thoughts from me regardless. Just looking for ways to land a top tier QB and get a heck of an offensive coach to boot.

I guess I still don't see why Gus can't just hire KB in some temporary capacity, just for a year and then make changes later. It could easily be worked out. RL is going to get a HC job sooner than later. Bring KB in now, yes, at a reduced off field position with the understanding that he changes positions (OC or position coach) later with a huge raise. The bigger question would be if Gus wants KB around period.

Yeah, I would just want to bring him in and figure it out later. An off-field consultant (for now) would suffice nicely. Like Tom was saying the other day, just get it done and let's get this kid.

Bring KB in and keep Lashlee too.

I'm not sure what they could say Friday that will close the deal. I imagine they've said everything they can and there will not be some new or ground breaking information that is passed that will just make JS commit on the spot. Would really love to be wrong but it just doesn't seem like this is gonna play out like that

I hope we get a really fast one, that's all that matters.

Yeah, that seems pretty evident to me as well. Clearly this is a big deal, otherwise I do think he'd already be with the good guys at this point.

I still can't believe that in 2016 a game like this isn't on cable somewhere. All kind of crappy games shown all day on a variety of channels. As usual, the SEC alternate channel is unused and just waiting for a game like this. Ok, end of rant.

I like the multi-quote but to each his own.

I truly wish Gus would read this.

This would be huge. Literally.

Any person remotely aware of military strategy knows you always have an escape contingency- a way out if needed, even if it pains you to use it. As stated by others, due to the staff's lack of options at QB, they had no plan B (no escape plan). Problem is, they created this by their own hand due to lack of QB recruiting and development IMO. Came back and bit us all big time and at the worst possible time.

Excellent observations, thanks!
