No, no he hasn't. That's the thing, has he done a good job there relative to the last coach? Sure he has, but Tommy Bowden was 72-45 and that got him run out of town. If that's your idea of "dead" then we just look at things differently (that's decidedly better than Shula or Dubose did at Alabama for example). He elevated the program, sure, but he also happened to do his best after guys like Spurrier and Beamer started to slow down. I'm not saying he's done a bad job, I'm just saying his resume needs more on it before I'd even consider him as a replacement to Saban. My entire statement was in that context, and I thought I made that clear.
Yup, he came to mind to. Winning games in a favorable situation is not at all a measure of how you'll do when the stakes are higher and the opponents are better.
I can name a long list of coaches who won a lot of games at a particular school. When we're talking in the context of a potential replacement for Nick Saban, the standard has to be much, much higher. Alabama needs someone who has proven they can win the big game, and has proven they can sustain success even with adversity. Dabo just hasn't done that yet. I am also one of the posters that left the door open for that to change though. If Dabo does something noteworthy without Watson, I'll be watching and so will a lot of other Alabama fans.
