Who is Saban's replacement?

[TiderJack]

Feels like it will be DeBoer.

Worst case, Kiffin. No way he says no.

Both are offensive gurus. We will be fine.

Have heard Kiffin is unhireable due to past discretions.

This has quickly if not already becoming an embarrassment. Hope An announcement is imminent. I still like KD.

How many coaching searches at major schools have been wrapped up in less than 48 hours? Embarrassment? Seriously?

"I have fallen in love with this program, the university and the people who I get to represent:" Mike Norvell signs extension with Florida State, shuts down Alabama coaching rumors

Despite multiple media members pinpointing him as the next potential head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide, Mike Norvell will remain as Florida State’s head football coach, signing a contract that...

Only Alabama fans. Coach finishes second in the playoffs and he's not good enough for them. They want the guy who didn't make the playoffs, the guy who lost twice to the second place coach, and some clown who cried because his team didn't make the playoffs.

For the record, I wanted Lanning. I felt like he was young enough, felt like he was close enough to the Saban tree to keep things going, and he would be familiar with landscape.

There's a bumper crop of local talent next year in Alabama. If Deboer can come in, reestablish the physicality, hang on to a few assistants, have a good run into the playoffs, he will be fine in recruiting.

We are looking for a football coach. Do we want the guy who acted like a brat at UT and then deserted them for his dream job at USC after one year? Maybe we want the guy who was so effective at his dream job that he was canned and left on the tarmac. No? Maybe we want the guy who thanked Coach Saban for giving him a chance to improve his image at Alabama by being so unprofessional and unprepared that he was excused from his duties between the semi-final and final. By the way, that last one likely cost us a championship. That guy? Really? Those are my reasons without even mentioning the "other" stuff. Of course, I'm not in charge of hiring Saban's replacement, so maybe you will still get your wish.

isn’t he basically a younger version of Steve Spurrier? On the field, at least.

Some aren't going to be happy with ANYONE Bama brings in

Some were not happy with Saban or Oats.

Kiffin is trolling this in overdrive. He just RE-tweeted Isaiah Bond's announcement. I surely may be wrong, but it makes it appear that he's not been called and not even on a short list.

The landscape of college football is much different than it was just a few years ago. We no longer have a PAC 12, and now teams like Oregon and UW are in the Big 10 competing against the blue bloods that is Michigan and Ohio St and I can tell you Wisconsin is going to be right there when Fickell gets rooted in.

So, apparently Dan Lanning thinks he's in a place that can bring in enough fire power to compete in that super conference. Does DeBoer think the same thing about UW? Alabama does have the fire power and has the resources and the brand to guarantee that he can compete.

Or, he thinks the path is easier with the resources he has compared to the path and resources at Alabama. There's no Georgia and Texas teams in the Big whatever they are.

Yep. That's his job...and he's really good at his job.

 

[BigAlinKnoxville]

Correct. Rumor has it that he once coached at UT. If that's ever proven...

 

[CoolBreeze]

Saban retiring is a boon for the media. Headlines everywhere saying "Alabama misses out on another Coach," referring to Norvell. They are making the crap up man. So funny. Need some extra butter with this popcorn.

I'm telling you, if we get enough swing and misses, Byrne will be in a janitor's closet with the lights out making a call to Kiffin personally asking him "Which night clubs do you want your fake name setup?", then hanging up and going to take a shower.

No, and he wouldn't be considered due to past transgressions.............but if he could keep his proclivitiesn under wraps he might have gotten one

Fake account. He is not the @thebarnyard

Auburn guy as well as a troll.

I could see them calling him................and I think he'd hesistate for a moment to make himself look good, then say "I'm on the way"
