Going to be tough to have the chat tonight with all the board issues. To any staff member with knowledge: Will the SEC start pursuing 2 additional members with the big16 adding 2 more teams or are they content with 14 for now?

I've said all along the league will eventually go to 16. It's just a matter of timing and getting the right programs (i.e. TV markets).

Tim: who do you think will be our next commit? or maybe the three of the most likely

That's a tough one. Robert Foster is the one most likely to decide at this time so would probably be him although he is not a Bama lock. Pitt is right there too.

Maybe Gene Chizik. Not sure who they expect to grab who will be a significant upgrade. Lot of competition and lot of schools have a head start on them searching.

No clues. I don't have a feel for anything going on down on the Plains.
(How about Mike Shula?)

There has been a lot made of the defensive issues against aTm and LSU. Some seem to be buying into the idea that we are vulnerable and have some issues on that side of the ball. Going into the SECCG, do you feel we have some things we need to clean up on defense or should we not look too much into those games? What's the feeling among the staff here on BOL?

Chris
Where would you rank this years defense in comparison with others in Saban UA era?
2011 was best IMO.

Anyone. Crazy thought here, but, do you think it's possible Coach Saban could hire Coach Dooley as an assistant?

I think defensively they are what they are - the shortcomings they have (depth in secondary, lack of true game-changing pass-rusher, lack of overall elite speed in front 7) aren't going to be fixed unless they shake things up and younger kids play more minutes.
None of those issues are deal breakers obviously - just makes for some match up concerns if they play certain opponents who can expose it.

Any chance we would make a move for QB Jeremy Johnson with the turmoil in auburn? Kid looks to be a player. I know Ole Miss may be a player if Chiz is fired.

Obviously there are some issues that need to be taken care of going forward, preventing 3rd down conversions being the main problem with pass rush being second.
