Can you get your head around if Nick Saban poached AL’s DC from UH’s staff? What a compliment. That said, I would imagine Belk would be a longshot. Still, the fact that he is mentioned shows he is viewed as an up-and-comer.

I view this similar to the Academy Awards. “I am honored to be nominated.”

Saban picked Bill O’brien so we know he makes mistakes.

Belk was GA under Saban. Saban recommended Doug to Gibson DC at WVU.

Tell Saban we’ll throw in 10 million extra to get the deal done. Even if we have to nix the practice facility.

Belk is more than a great recruiter that we haven’t lost yet and I hope we don’t.

So many coaching experts. If only you were on the staff – in control, how wonderful it would be :rofl:

I think it’s an overreaction to want Belk gone this quick. We saw him put together a top 6 defense in the country and they were the main reason we won games in 2021. This year when our defense was healthy they played good enough to win games but our offense just could not score. We also did not have the talent needed on defense to produce. We banked on guys getting better at football and they just didn’t progress and it cost us. This offseason we aren’t doing that we are adding talent. We paid Belk for a reason and a lot of top programs wanted him. Let’s give him more than 1 bad year before we are gunning for his job

If you give up the equivalent to 11 TDs in one game to a 4-4 team then you don’t deserve half a million dollars per year.

If they want to pay him $45,000 a year until he demonstrates competence on a week to week basis then I’m fine with it. I just hate to see Renu cutting a half a million dollar check for that humiliating result.
