    Considering Huff, Grubb, and Shephard are apparently still on UW staff because Alabama doesn't want to pay their buyouts UW will be the first team ever to only run offense.

    Any good sources on this buyout chatter? I couldn't find any info on a buyout figure for Grubb, or if he even has one.

    I'd be surprised if Huff or Shephard had buyouts, that's an unusual thing to negotiate when it's already understood that their role is so transient.

    Grubb is/was under contract with UW through 2025. If he could somehow get fired, he’d be in a for a payday. I think it’s more about that.

    That's interesting, I have never heard of any assistant coach/program scheming such a petty move. Frankly, I don't buy that that's what's happening.

    *If* that was actually the maneuver, I would think that UW could simply fire Grubb for cause as soon as he stops showing up for work for a few weeks. Otherwise, what's the angle? Bama tells Grubb to hold off, keep "clocking in" at UW, all the while missing a crucial acclimation period for his new team and Bama willingly foregoes having their most important assistant coach while they're trying to install their new offense? That's a shitload of hijinks that would almost certainly fail, all in the pursuit of saving what amounts to a drop in the bucket for Bama athletics.

    We can't fill out our staff because poverty program Bama can't afford their coaches

    Should also hit them with tampering since that's the flavor of the month

    Yea, of course none of that is true and is just weird message board gossip. I’m sure they are just negotiating contracts, a lot of which is dependent on who else DeBoner hires, etc. I’d assume all the coaches are on already in Tuscaloosa and doing the recruiting stuff.

    I was pretty clear with you window lickers that Shaw wasn’t happening.
