Review of “Bama Profiles in Courage: Laykin”: (Capers) Barr flexes through an emotional range that most writers would never dare attempt … Humor and Bama sorrow are fused together like twined tree trunks that keep each other standing…..It’s part satire, part character study, with a wry lens on fame, fandom, and the modern South. Well done, Capers, well done.”– Ian Allen, The Times Literary Supplement.

The Old Ball Sack Coach hire former Dawg VanGorder

Thanks Nole…

Lou Holtz was to bring the Notre Dame mystique and to the King of Moral Victories; Holtz was “asked” to retire after leaving a bunch of out of control players to their own devices.

Steve Spurrier was hired to bring a swagger and his winning attitude of Florida/Duke and the Redskins tenure to South Carolina. Spurrier experienced his first career four game losing streak, his first career five game losing streak, took a team that was 6-1 and ranked no. 6 in the country to a 6-6 finish and no bowl game invitation. This is South Carolina Football!!

Now Spurrie has hired a former Dawg as his Defensive Coordinator [AJC]. Think of a coach that thinks that he is always playing under Shrine Bowl all-star game rules. You know, no blitzing and a heavy reliance on his front 4 to make plays.

Columbia is the Boneyard of formerly good coaches. Adios VanGorder

    It looks like Spurrier is taking up in Carolina just where FSU left him. He only wishes he were getting his little legs twisted now.

    A Semenhole talking shit? Now that’s funny.

    Hey, I hope Bowden and Jimbo stay forever. Jimbo’s last two offenses (at LSU and FSU) have scored 10 and 12 points against UF. And I can’t imagine not being able to count the liver spots on St. Bobby’s face while he stands on the sidelines looking all bumfuzzled.

    Unfortunately for you…

    You amuse me rather than irritate me…

    How ironic though…

    Like your “bride” of WVU football’s goal of a MNC this season…

    Mission UNaccomplished…

    Good luck in the Citrus Bowl Gators. I guess you can spell it without UT! Somewhere Phil Fulmer smiles again.

    Yep lets face it the gates won five and FSU won seven. I know it is hard for you to grasp that you won nothing this year just like FSU. Please we don’t want to hear about your one year dynasty for the next 20 years.

    Oh and eer I hear Saban is coming to WVU, his momma is calling him home and the signal is a burning couch, or has Pete Carroll, Norm Chow and Bill Parcels jumped into the mix?

    Lets face it, La Infante Terribles will be prowling the sidelines with Jeffy in the box unleashing the fury of the power I on hapless opponents, good luck with that, been there and done that.

    I loved VanGorder at UGA for his double thumbs up, psycho eyes, and his uncanny resemblance to Jim Hacksaw Duggan after a big defensive play. All he needed was an American flag and a 2×4 when he patrolled the sidelines.

    BVG defenses were good when he was at UGA. He had David Pollack, Sean Jones, Thomas Davis, Odell Thurman, Greg Blue, Boss Bailey, Tim Jennings, Demario Minter, Jonathan Sullivan, Robert Geathers, Bruce Thorton, Quentin Moses, and Charles Johnson to name a few.

    His successor at UGA, Willie Martinez, had been all over with BVG in the 1990’s (Grand Valley State, Central Michigan, and Central Florida). I believe Martinez was the DC at Central Florida while BVG was the linebackers coach there. Richt brought BVG and Martinez to UGA with him back in 2001. I say all of that because it shows that Martinez and BVG coach the same defense. An occasional blitz and pressure must come from the front 4. That was real easy for BVG’s strategy in 2002, 2003, and 2004 with guys like Pollack, Sullivan, Geathers, and Moses, but that kind of defense will not work without freaks on the line.

    UGA struggled last year with lack of a freakish front 4 and struggled early this year for the same reasons with that strategy. Martinez changed up the scheme this season, but it was too late after losses to SCar and the UT beat down. I don’t see UGA playing a bend-don’t-break defense next year with the lack of D-line pass rushers we have returning and the speed we’ll have at linebacker. BVG will try to force his strategy and fail.

    BVG will not have the talent or talent depth at SCar to maintain a great defense and will move to another job after 2 average years at SCar. If SCar can’t win an SEC title very soon, SOS won’t be around long. BVG’s stay will be even shorter.

    Some SCar fans think that BVG will be able to bring an ability to recruit the state of Georgia. He was never the “get’em signed” guy at UGA. Not a good people person and that’s what you expect from a defensive coordinator, I guess. Add to the fact that he caused more damage in South Georgia than Sherman did to Atlanta with his brief head coaching stop at Georgia Southern. He did away with several traditions at GSU like the triple-option, winning, and making the playoffs. Folks in South Georgia really don’t like BVG, especially high school coaches that ever had to deal with him. So, SCar fans, BVG will not bring in-roads to recruiting Georgia. Spurrier will have better luck than BVG.

    Once again, the SCar preseason national championship hype has begun. I think this is the 8th season in a row that the gamecocks have won the preseason MNC as voted by the fans of SCar.
