I think, and I could be very wrong, that you're considered a disciple of whomever you landed your first coordinator or hc gig under. Since he was given the coordinator gig by Stoops so he'd be considered a Stoops guy following that logic. But I'm not sure, I'm guessing there's no strict definition for how it's classified.If Venables ever takes a HC gig, will he be considered a Swinney disciple or a Stoops disciple?

Haha well he was never mentored or taught by Vader, so a Snoke guy for sure.So your avatar is a Skywalker or Snoke disciple?
Is Mel Tucker a Saban, Smart or Tressel disciple? The answer is yes.If Venables ever takes a HC gig, will he be considered a Swinney disciple or a Stoops disciple?
That’s why I asked. Lots of head coaches learned from several different mentors. Tucker is a good example. I’d say most folks would consider him to be a Saban guy.Is Mel Tucker a Saban, Smart or Tressel disciple? The answer is yes.
I don’t think there’s a strict definition either. It’s an interesting topic for debate, though.I think, and I could be very wrong, that you're considered a disciple of whomever you landed your first coordinator or hc gig under.

Agreed. I think that's why I stick with the coordinator or HC rule of thumb because that's when you really become a big name in the coaching circles.I don’t think there’s a strict definition either. It’s an interesting topic for debate, though.
Not SureIntrigued. Any chance he’d come to Boulder?
Not Sure
The Swinney contract keeps him there or makes Alabama pay through the nose to hire him away. Smart move on Clemson’s part, IMO.
Sucks for everybody else in college football, though. I wonder how long it will be until we start seeing a Dabo Swinney coaching tree start to grow.
Not if they had their mind set on Dabo, no. But if they have two or three that they think can do the job, then this contract can be the deciding factor in them hiring somebody else.An extra $1-2 million for Dabo wouldn't a deterrent to Alabama whatsoever.
Not sure Alabama can outspend Clemson. There really is no limit, accept what they want to pay the man.An extra $1-2 million for Dabo wouldn't a deterrent to Alabama whatsoever.
Bama can outspend them, there is really no question about that. They get more money from their conference distribution, have a bigger donor base, higher ticket sales revenue. I just don't think it would come to a situation like that. Dabo would decide where he wanted to be for the long haul, not go wherever they will pay more money.Not sure Alabama can outspend Clemson.

Obviously hard for me to like Georgia but their comments this week on scheduling have been spot on. Calling out the rest of the SEC and scheduling some big time games. Now I wish Alabama would do the same thing so lead the pack.
Alabama's OOC this year is a joke for sure but they've scheduled some good games down the road
S E C, S E C, S E CAn average of less than 1 P5 OOC match up each year to go with an 8 game conference schedule is a joke.

Yes.Just heard Rocky from Hygiene (haha) call Joe (late lunch) discussing transfers. Around 450 kids entered the portal yet only about half have been picked up. ASU had 12 leave. Crazy. Is Herm intentionally running guys off or is he just an A-hole?
Boo!!Yes.
My Zonies tell me the answer is Yes, meaning both. There's some concern that Herm is bat**** and they are literally seen as totally unattractive to in state kids.Just heard Rocky from Hygiene (haha) call Joe (late lunch) discussing transfers.
