Who is Saban's replacement?

[Slowpoke Catracho]

My one concern with DeBoer is whether we would become all offense- no defense kind of team like Washington has been.

Maybe he needs a better pool of defensive players.

Does anyone really know the Deboer doesn't know anything about the Southeast, blah, blah, blah.... etc? CNS was an outsider to the area before he came to LSU and look what happened to him. There are a lot assumptions being made about someone that's just coaching football. He's not running for public office. Bottom line: If you can win football games, I'm in! RTR!

Adding to that assumption, Alabama recruits itself, it has for the last 15 years after the 2009 NC. Some on this site act as if he has to sell Alabama all over again.

To be fair, Washington isn't Alabama...

To be THAT GUY, our roster of the greatest recruits ever assembled lost to a team that Washington beat, and lost to a team with only two five stars on its roster.

Oh the Alabama fan base sometimes

That twitter account looks fishy.

143 followers. Yes

As if things weren’t complicated enough.

This is the type of coach I would prefer. But again, not an elite recruiter:

Is it even possiable to be an elite receuiter at Kstate. And i like Kstate. Dad was stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas feom 85 to 89. Went to a few Kstate games during that time. I know that timws have changed since then but still it's Manhattan Kansas.

If there is still no coach next week, we are in a lot of trouble. Again in this day and age you cannot drag your feet on this.

Not for us...

Saban going to LSU is not an apples to apples comparison. If a LSU coach that’s a good coach gets the bulk of the best players in Louisiana, he can compete

Maybe he needs a better pool of defensive players.

The reason I mentioned it was because:

2020 Total Offense: Fresno State 16th 2020 Total Defense : Fresno State 85th
2021 Total Offense : Fresno State 15th 2021 Total Defense :Fresno State 31
2022 Total Offense :Washington 2nd 2022 Total Defense : Washington 74
2023 Total Offense : Washington 12th 2023 Total Defense : Washington 92

Only 1 respectable season on the defensive side of the ball for DeBoer.

 

[Joefus]

Welp that should take norvell out of the running

 

[Jack Bourbon]

Can we just pool together some money and try to coax Saban back

 

[Bpilktree]

He did just sit there at Washington when it came to recruiting, that's my point.

He brings in 16 four starts in 3 years at a place that has shown they can bring in 16 in one year. That's sitting around on recruiting.

He was hired in December of 2021 he has had 2 recruiting classes The 2022 class is already committed by the time he gets the job so you can’t say he didn’t get anyone this year. It takes time to build a culture especially one that has been bad a few years unless you are a Deion or big name guy with some name and experience you are not being a major recruiting person for at least 3-5 years. So what he did at Washington doesn’t mean much to me in recruiting because he just wasn’t there long enough to see how he is as a recruiter. If he comes here and can keep some of the good recruiting people we have here that already have connections in the south he should be ok. At Washington he had an empty cupboard and in todays game you don’t have time to bring in freshman and try to win sometimes so he brought in some experienced guys through the portal.

Kinda funny considering Michigan walked for cheating

Yes, but it's relative. Apples and oranges to Alabama.

Dont think it will take that long

Just stated on Finebaum that Nick Kelly of Tuscaloosa News reports DeBoer and Norvell are top 2 candidates. But; a "wild card" candidate is Tommy Rees?? I can only see Rees getting on the list as a Saban recommendation? Thoughts?

Nothing against Rees, but if it's him we are in trouble

If its Debour, Norvell, Rees.....we're in trouble.
