BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - More than two months later, Brent Calloway's signature on a letter of intent to play football at Alabama remains a hot-button issue.

Why did the Russellville High School running back, who'd committed to Alabama in July, 2009, then switched his commitment to Auburn in January of this year, finally settle on Alabama?

Did that decision stem from pressure put on him by his adopted father and a family friend, an admitted Alabama fan? Or did it relieve pressure put on him by a high school coach that graduated from Auburn?

And did any potential NCAA violations occur?

Darren Woodruff believes he has some answers, and he shared his feelings Tuesday in a lengthy interview with The Birmingham News.

I like to remind him that he is a worthless hack whenever I can.

I thought this particular article was pretty good.  It gave Woodruff a lot of ink and a chance to get some facts out there.

Based on the Tuscaloosa News' exclusive interview with BC, and his comments regarding his HS coach's comments about his being "in trouble" when Brent switch back to Bama...me thinks that coach has some 'splaining to do, Lucy.

Now the coach and his family won't even talk to the young man? 

Finebaum's producer called the coach yesterday to ask him to appear on the show to explain his perspective, and he rudely declined, saying "I'm not about to get into this mess". 

Hmmm...what "mess" is he talking about?  A big 'un I suspect!

Sounds like this is not a man I would want coaching my kids. He sounds like a very rude person and not able to teach kids how to be young men. RTR!
