Don’t really care what he did. That’s his problem. Just makes him look bad.
Of course he's going to deny any involvement, or tampering. So he can keep his cushy, overpaid job beside the rest of the espn "experts"
Sounds a lot different than what Dylan’s dad said.
Professional damage control. He's not denying the phone call happened but he does seem to deny initiating it. The potential flip was obviously discussed. The two versions of what was said and who made the call are different but it's clear ESPN and Herbstreit will just move on from this like it never happened.
Guaranteed with this, the McAfee blither, and Saban at the desk. I'm going to guess that Gameday's next visit to Athens might not be the warm Southern welcome they are used to.
Yep. He pretty much called Dominic Raiola a liar. The two takes are Entirely different. Herbstreit thinks everyone but Him are totally ignorant. Him and his employer ESPN have never liked UGA.
They’ve snubbed UGA many times in subtle and not so subtle ways. When they fired David Pollack I stopped watching Game Day. The Only time I watch ESPN and it’s subsidiary SEC Network is when our beloved Dawgs game are on those channels, then I don’t have any choice in order to watch them.
The Truth always has a habit of coming to the top. Sometimes it can take a long, long time, but eventually it will. This is my opinion, I think Herbie figured if his beloved OSU couldn’t have this kid he was gonna sabotage him going to UGA. Matt Rhule or not Nebraska is a road to No Where. Herbie knows that. So it’s highly possible he torpedoed that kid’s career for his own designs.
ESPN will not even gently reprimand Herbie, all will be as is. And they won’t say anything to their “New” darling Pat McAfee virus for telling an entire fanbase to go to Hell either. What would really warm my heart is for Game Day to come to Athens and not even One Dawgs fan show up !! THAT might send a message.
ESPN fired David Pollack and others over “ supposed budget cuts” then promptly hired Pat McAfee to the tune of $10 mil AND gave him his own show. Now they’ve hired Nick Saban so I guess those budget cuts are really hurting them. 🙄 Now check THIS out: https://apple.news/ArBiGhd8WT2G-p3DjGUSDqw
In typical Low Class Gump fashion, Saban’s daughter Mocking David about losing his job !! Man I sure hope our Dawgs utterly curb stomp Bama This year and years to come !!! Go Dawgs !! P.S. David Pollack has more class under his fingernail than Saban AND his daughter !!
Five Year $85 Million contract for McAfee. Now adding Saban. Yet they got rid of David due to “ budget cuts”. Sure right. No they got rid of him because he insulted His Majesty Saban.

Ya I don't trust one word he says. I'll believe the father that had nothing to gain with what he said. Not the guy trying to save face with his completely unprofessional and unethical actions. He shouldn't be talking to recruits fathers about their recruitment PERIOD, especially the #1 QB and #1 overall recruit... oh my bad the #3 QB and #21 overall recruit after facing real competition. I've never enjoyed KH or his regurgitated statements on Saturdays, but this puts him on a whole new level of scum. He needs to be investigated and put where he belongs, on CBS. Paul allowing him to backtrack on his show puts a bad taste in my mouth as well. But what more can you expect from Alabama loving, Georgia hating ESPN. Trash 🗑 🚮. With McFakee and Herbturd on GameDay i can't imagine them showing up in Athens this year, but if they do.. I expect the warmest of welcomes! Boo them everytime they open their big ass mouths. Even better, we don't show up in the background and just boo from the sides everytime they talk. David Pollack is 10× the football player, 50× the analyst and 100× the man then either of those 2.
LEAVE NO DOUBT
GO DAWGS
Sounds like a stammering teenager who got caught in a big one. Yeah…Herbstreit is definitely lying.
Sorry Herbie, I just don't believe you.
Sorry Bill Hofheimer, I'm still slinging arrows. Yeah, Herbie you have known Dylan's Dad for years. You call him like weekly? Vacation together. Not buying it.
Herb's is just trying to protect his job. Nick Saban's daughter doesn't get it. It's all fun and games but you're talking about a man's livelihood. It's a job taken away from someone who has to take care of their family. What David said was just his opinion, whether feelings were hurt or not, Saban's job was never threatened. She will never understand because of her rich dad. Smh
When in doubt - Lie.
Methinks thou dost protest too much!
Herbstreet reminds me of Bill Clinton statement. While staring into the camera and saying (I did not have sex with that woman). Yea right! Remember the Dad did not get in touch with Herbstreet. Herbstreet contacted the Dad.
Just read Saban’s daughter bad mouthing Pollack. Just more proof the fox was on in the SEC championship game. Like several other Bama NC championship wins with controversial calls it is only more proof of the corruption in SEC ball.
Sorry, I believe Dominic Raiola's version of the story more. Raiola doesn't have any reason to modify the story. Herbstreit would want to change the narrative because Raiola's version makes Herbstreit look bad.
And they wonder why their ESPN product is in decline. Herbstreit is part of their problem. A mediocre color guy in the booth and disruptive outside it. McAfee is a performance artist. He reads what they write for him. Bombastic, not a bright or insightful. Thats why they keep him out of the booth. Adding Saban is going to be another problem. He has no personality.
Watch Gameday avoid Athens this year.
I try to not judge people - especially based on what someone else says about said person. However, when I do judge others, I base doing so (for good or bad) one what they've done. Had Herbstreit not lobbied for LSU to jumps UGA because UGA had not played in the SEC Chamionship, we would have won in 2007. Yet, where was Herbstreit when Bama missed the SEC Championship in 2017? I didn't hear a peep out of him when Bama was selected to pe one of the four teams in the playoffs. Herbstreit is one thing above all - inconsistant. Make that two things, for he is meddlesome, also. Add the two together and you get someone who isn't qualified to be a sportscaster, for his words have consequences.
I would truly like to know who initiated the call between Dominic and KH. Dominic says KH called him. KH says Dominic called him. Both could be technically true if KH returned an unanswered call from Dominic. Still doesn't explain whether KH was as exuberant as Dominic clearly implies. If KH actually initiated the call, his shame is undeniably deserved.
