Who is Saban's replacement?

Well Jimmy Sexton is in the Mal Moore complex. Could be there to hammer out the details for CNS’s “retirement” package or talk about a new coach. His clients include:
Mike Norvell
Lane Kiffin
Sark
DeBoer
Among others…

Narrows it down a bunch…

Is he there on Zoom or is his human body in that building?
 
I would rather take the program from Saban than the guy who rode it into the ground after Saban.

I think it is now apparent no one was "in place", even though I think Byrne and a very, very small number of people knew Saban was going to retire before yesterday's announcement.

I'm just not sure there is going to be much of a line for anyone wanting to be the guy immediately after Saban. If it were the 2nd or 3rd guy then yeah, they'd be busting the door down. But we may have to either get Kiffin (if he truly wants the job as bad as many think) or go waaaay down the list and get someone who we probably know will be replaced in two to three years.

Dan Lanning 7/2
Lane Kiffin 5/1
Dabo Swinney 25/1
Las Vegas, like a hormonal teenage boy, has one thing on their mind. Hint: Vegas ain’t about breaking news and the teen boy ain’t about being celibate.
 
Unless Ryans has always wanted to come to BAMA as the HC, there is absolutely zero benefit for him leaving the Texans. In fact it will be an even HARDER job, and not much more money.

Why is it about benefit or money. The entire NFL community laughed at him for taking the Houston job. I watched every one of their preseason games and they all said he won't win 4 games. If he has a chance to make his mark in Alabama history, I promise you he will do it.
 
The issue we have here, and it's a greater version of the concern people have with Dabo, is just can he make the step up and can he recruit better than he has?

The Pac-12 isn't an especially difficult conference, so the question is does he maintain that success at a higher level? Furthermore, does he not just adapt to the southeast, but does he recruit better?

He's never been a great recruiter from what I can tell, so he'd have to both adapt and improve. Every realistic possibility seems to have some big question marks, his isn't can he coach... but can be recruit the southeast (much) better than he's been recruiting out west? He's not going to have that same level of success without more 4 and 5 stars going against SEC teams...
That's fair, but has anyone been able to recruit great at Washington? Recruiting is a lot better easier at Alabama than it is at Washington.

Unless he wants to make his mark in NFL history.
