Who is Saban's replacement?

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

And some won't be happy no matter who we bring just to be an eeyore.

"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...

What the hell has Norvell done to warrant a $10million a year for 10 year contract. That’s asinine. I feel FSU will live to regret this contract. Sexton working the Bama job big time!

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.

It's my understanding that we would hire Tommy Rees before we hired Lane Kiffin. Not that Tommy Rees is a serious candidate, but sounds like nothing will change their stance on Kiffin.

It's a shame. He would be very very good here.

Apparently the coaches have been called into a mandatory meeting this afternoon.

Looks like something is cooking.

IMO, he is not even on the "long" list. My guess is that neither is Dabo. I believe that DeBoer has been Byrne's primary target all along.

I think Oregon will have the second best roster in the B1G next year after Ohio State. Not sure if that will translate on the field, of course. I think it's going to be tough for those west coast teams to go on the road in the midwest in late October and November.

DeBoer is a great offensive mind and amazing Xs and Os coach. But part of Washington's success this year was that they were loaded with experience -- tons of guys 5-6 year COVID guys. Kind of a perfect storm.

I'd get on board with the hire -- my big fear is just that there's zero indication he can recruit at an elite level which is still the single biggest priority for any program that wants to compete for national titles.

He'd need to build out a staff of great recruiters which I'd assume Saban will help him do.

One of the reasons Saban is staying on

How far down the list do we have to go to get to Hugh Freeze?

South until you smell it, then east until you step in it...

I bet Sexton has so much money that he has concubines on the same level as old testament kings.

This is the season of our discontent

'Opportunity of lifetime': DeBoer takes over Tide

Kalen DeBoer, who guided Washington to a Pac-12 championship and a spot in the College Football Playoff National Championship game this past season, was named the next head coach at Alabama, replacing the retired Nick Saban.

sources reporting they are negotiating a contract as we speak.

I have to ask.

I think that is the funniest post I have ever seen you make pal.

 

[CoolBreeze]

Good! Just looked at Norvell’s record vs. ranked opponents while at FSU.
3-10

Reminds me of Dennis the Menace with gray hair and a buzz cut.

 

[rolltide7854]

just remember 3 people CAN keep a secret. if two of em are dead....

I just want to put this on the record. I have no idea who we will hire or who is on the list.

 

[tidefan39817]

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

not gonna lie, I had to look that up....

Pretty sure a staff that knows how to recruit would be a prerequisite for the job. If Byrne hires DeBoer, then it will be under the assumption the DeBoer will do just that. There's no scenario where he's hired and Byrne is just like "He's a great coach, but gosh, I hope he can recruit".

Only in CFB can you get a $80 million contract extension the day AFTER your program gets put on probation.

Bryne is meeting with all the coaches. Saban just left the facilities. Sounds like DeBoer is the guy. Let's see
