Travis ReierHOST
Hopefully we get a well-officiated football game and we get to actually see the team settle it right there.
Johnny CongdonHOST
One of my favorite parts in the aftermath of the loss to Georgia last Saturday was Greg Byrne did not come out with a statement condemning the referees and tweet it out and try to pander to the fan bases.
Travis ReierHOST
Sure.
Johnny CongdonHOST
Not every co- not every school in this state can say that's how they handle poor refereeing.
Nick KellyGUEST
Um, and so yeah, I, I've always gotten the sense it'll come at some point.
Nick KellyGUEST
But when, I, I think, I, I believe Greg Byrne h- had told Front Office Sports at one point that, you know, they're evaluating options type of deal.
Nick KellyGUEST
A- and again, I'm paraphrasing that, it's not a direct quote.
Nick KellyGUEST
But-
Johnny CongdonHOST
And we thought Noah Rogers was gonna be out maybe till Thanksgiving, and he wasn't even in, wearing a non-contact jersey.
Johnny CongdonHOST
That is a signal from the staff, from the program, from anyone up as high as Greg Byrne to let them know that we send messages when we do stuff like this.
Wyatt FultonGUEST
Yeah.
Johnny CongdonHOST
And seeing two photos of Carmelo O'Neal released from practice, uh, is maybe a, uh, an olive branch to the fan base.
Mike ChaudronGUEST
But to me, good judgment by these ADs and hiring committees is really, really important to make sure that it is a good fit and you don't have another Brian Kelly situation on your hands.
GeorgeHOST
And I guess it's really important to have a strong AD then, right? Because we're seeing what's happening at Arkansas just now, but I'm more inclined to talk about what's just happened at Alabama, right? Greg Byrne has put all of his support behind Caelan DeBoer because he clearly feels that DeBoer is the right guy to go with.
GeorgeHOST
And it just feels like that's been the right decision.
GeorgeHOST
Now, we'll know in a couple of years whether that is the right decision, but he certainly wants to.
GeorgeHOST
Is that right?
Mike ChaudronGUEST
Well, it is, but I have a chapter in the book called The AD Trap because all of us look at it from the outside and think, okay, you've got a really powerful, good AD.
Mike ChaudronGUEST
And Greg Byrne is a great example there.
Mike ChaudronGUEST
I think he is a great AD.
Barry McKnightHOST
Alabama is number six of those nine.
Barry McKnightHOST
And if I'm looking at that this morning, and I'm Greg Byrne in the athletic director's office, first thing I'm do is I'm picking up the phone and talking to whatever lobbyist and says, "Guys, we have got to get to 24-
John LongshoreHOST
Yeah
Barry McKnightHOST
...
John LongshoreHOST
Um, kind of an old school, you know, he kinda got that Pat Dye feel to him a little bit.
John LongshoreHOST
Um, just a percentage, you know, just a guess, we're just, you know, throwing stuff and see what sticks.
John LongshoreHOST
If things don't go well with Kalen DeBoer, or maybe Lincoln Riley gets released at Southern Cal and DeBoer wants to go back out west and be the head coach at Southern Cal, hmm, you think Greg Byrne would try to take a shot at John Sumrall? You think John Sumrall would be interested in the Alabama job? He's an Alabama native, from Huntsville, I believe, grew up in Huntsville.
Barry McKnightHOST
Yeah, true.
Michael SouthernGUEST
Uh, but I think that's really the timeline you're looking at before we get to see what Anderson Diaz can do.
Luke RobinsonHOST
Um, then Bama Willie says, "If only Alabama, Nate Oats, and Greg Byrne didn't start this pro player coming back to college stuff." Give me a break.
Luke RobinsonHOST
They, they didn't start it.
Luke RobinsonHOST
They didn't start it.
Johnny CongdonHOST
Look at how mad we are.
Johnny CongdonHOST
It's on Alabama Stationery with Greg Byrne.
Johnny CongdonHOST
I'll tell you what.
Johnny CongdonHOST
Greg Byrne ain't releasing any stupid statements, and if he does, I'll rip him for it.
Johnny CongdonHOST
No, that officiated.
Johnny CongdonHOST
They're going to be suspended.
Colin CowherdHOST
To be able to go from Nick Saban to Kalen DeBoer is...
Colin CowherdHOST
You know, give Greg Byrne the, the, the AD at Alabama credit.
Colin CowherdHOST
You just can't do better than that.
Colin CowherdHOST
You usually have a Harbaugh.
Charlie PotterGUEST
He has a lofty buyout.
Charlie PotterGUEST
Um, Greg Byrne believes in him.
Charlie PotterGUEST
Like Kalen DeBoer's gonna be the guy here, I think, for a long time, and I think this thing's just getting started.
Charlie PotterGUEST
I think he's gonna win a lot of ball games.
Mike LukeHOST
Obviously, pretty good friends with, obviously, really good friends with Dave Heakey.
Mike LukeHOST
Greg Byrne used to give me stuff off record all the time.
Mike LukeHOST
I'm sure he did with you.
Mike LukeHOST
Shearer's reputation, you know, speaks for itself.
