Saban is the GOAT and I’m super thankful for him. But I get why a lot of coaches don’t want to stay long term. Saban needs to realize it’s not 1987 anymore and you can’t expect all your coaches to love working 16 hour days 6 days a week just because you do. Look, I’m in my 30s and have 3 young kids at home, if I have a choice to either get rich and never see my family, or go somewhere else and still get rich AND I get a great work/life balance where I’m home for dinner with my kids, get weekends off, etc....that’s a bloody easy choice. Saban would do well to go to Clemson this off-season and study the family culture that Dabo has created. You can have success AND not kill your people in the process. Staying on top requires constant adaptation in any field, this is Saban’s next big challenge in my mind if he’s not planning on retiring in the next year or two.

That is such short sighted reaction to a situation. People loved the work ethic of Saban and staff. Loved the process. But the first real adversity of the Saban era and some are ready to abandon it.

"Nah, I'm still enjoying it and it has been a long but good process, but I'll be ready to announce on Signing Day."

I just can’t grasp how supposedly Tosh is going to be out but is still being sent to contact recruits . Sorry Boz, not discrediting your info at all , I just don’t know why Saban would do that if he plans to let him go

Tosh may want to go to the NFL anyway and if that's the case this would be similar to Locks where he isn't burning bridges.

So far, all of the chatter about Tosh potentially leaving has pretty much been speculation.

Boz was pretty clear that his source at least said Tosh is out post NSD. So while their may be speculation, he didn't hedge that one at all. Jimmy Lake being in town (supposedly interviewing) points to Tosh at least potentially leaving because he sure as hell isn't taking a step down to be a position coach after all of his success at UW.

For all we know his source could be speculating.

Rivals Rankings Week: Four new five-stars join final 2019 Rivals100
The new 5-star prospects are below:
- OT Charles Cross (Mississippi State)
- DT DeMarvin Leal (Texas A&M)
- LB Marcel Brooks (LSU)
- DT Christopher Hinton (Michigan)

The final Rivals100 for the 2019 recruiting class has been released with four prospects earning that coveted fifth star. There were also some shakeups in the top 10. Here’s a breakdown of the big changes from our Rivals.com analysts.
LSU signee Derek Stingley Jr. remains the No. 1 prospect in the country and there wasn’t a ton of debate about it. Stingley has the size, instincts, ball skills and physicality to be a special player at the next level and beyond and was already making an impact at his new school through the winter practices. Despite missing all-star season, there was little doubt he was special enough to remain No. 1. He’s one of the most complete cornerback prospects I’ve ever seen and becomes the first corner to finish a rankings cycle at No. 1 overall.
Moving up three spots to No. 2 was Georgia defensive line signee Nolan Smith. Smith has been compared to Denver Broncos star Von Miller and that’s a solid comparison. He may not be quite as long as Miller, but he comes off the edge so fast, flattens around the edge very well and is constant disruptive. He’s going to be a great one at the next level and beyond.
Alabama running back signee Trey Sanders impressed and remained in the top five at No. 3 overall as did Oklahoma wide receiver signee Jadon Haselwood who remained at No. 4. Sanders has good size, is durable and physical and has breakaway speed while Haselwood has great size, speed and fights for the ball. Alabama defensive tackle signee Antonio Alfano, with an amazing week at the All-American Bowl, moved up 17 spots to No. 5 overall. Alfano has a non-stop motor, great size and power and is very quick for an interior lineman.
Rounding out the top 10 are Oregon defensive end signee Kayvon Thibodeaux, Auburn wide receiver commitment George Pickens, Alabama offensive tackle signee Evan Neal, South Carolina defensive end signee Zacch Pickens and new five-star DeMarvin Neal, a Texas A&M defensive end commitment. Thibodeaux was awesome at the Under Armour All-America Game and dominated some excellent linemen while Pickens, Neal and Leal also impressed during all-star season.
Leal is one of four new five star prospects in the final Rivals100 for 2019 and we break down all four below.
The new 5-star prospects are below:
- OT Charles Cross (Mississippi State)
- DT DeMarvin Leal (Texas A&M)
- LB Marcel Brooks (LSU)
- DT Christopher Hinton (Michigan)

Nakobe Dean and Ishmael Sopsher both lost their 5th star on Rivals.

Honestly it's probably accurate... Dlinemen killed it at both all star games in the drills and Sopsher did not stand out in that group.

Rivals Rankings Week: Who will we regret dropping from five-star status?

Senior seasons are finished and the All-American Bowl and Under Armour All-America Game are in the rear-view mirror. It is now time to make arrangements for the final rankings of the 2019 class.
In today’s Making The Case, a few Rivals.com analysts offer a statement on which prospect will make us regret dropping them from five-star status.

Glad they hate Georgia too

Nakobe Dean
"I found myself on an island during the rankings calls as I tried to defend Dean's standing as a five-star. Concerns over his height in length were raised and I think are legitimate, but after watching Dean play during the fall I can't help but think his ability is enough to trump those flaws. A tackling machine who seems to always be around the ball, Dean has a chance to step right into the lineup at Georgia and be a key player on a top 10-caliber team. Dean reminds me a lot of Devin Bush, who had his share of size concerns coming out of high school and turned into a very good college player and is headed to the NFL." --Rivals.com Southeast Recruiting Analyst Woody Wommack

Ishmael Sopsher
"Is Sopsher playing like a five-star right now? No. Not at all, actually, In fact, I was on-board with the drop. But, should he choose LSU as expected, we’re betting against the Tigers developing a defensive lineman and that seems dangerous. Sopsher comes with upside. He’s incredibly strong and uses his power well. His plight is getting lighter on his feet and becoming a more versatile lineman that comes with more than just brute force. I’m not saying we’ll for sure pay for dropping him, but there’s a chance." - Rivals.com Florida Recruiting Analyst Rob Cassidy
