Kalen DeBoer hired to Replace Nick Saban - CONFIRMED by Greg Byrne

No one will ever replicate the coaching career of CNS however this hire has me excited to see what will transpire. He needs our support for his system just like we gave to CNS. He will succeed, our players who buy in will succeed and our foes will continue to fear us. GB honestly I thought you would bungle this one, but you have come through with shining colors.

to CNS thank you for where you have brought us I will never forget everything you have done. But what speaks volumes about you and Miss Terry is the grace in which you made the unselfish choice to step aside and still remain part of the program you have built. It’s time to name the field after you. You are and will always be the greatest.

ROLL TIDE FOREVER!!!
 
Just now getting to post but I'm pretty stoked about this hire.

Said a couple of days ago I hope we go with a more offensive minded coach. It's the era, it's time so I'm so hyped about this guy and future offenses with pro style QBs like TS and JS.

Also, I'm really proud the ADGB didn't think he had to hire a CNS disciple. I've said more than once here that when CNS moved on it would be best to go with fresh blood.
 
Quite literally the absolute best candidate out there. Home run.

The haters want to run with the idea that Norvell, Sark, Lanning (what a joke) turned Bama down, when this man just beat 2 of them 3x this season, and Norvell has really proven nothing.
My take, it was reported that 3 agents representing coaches were in Tuscaloosa. Greg Byrne probably asked all three which of their clients might be interested in the job, Sexton probably knew Lanning and Sark weren’t interested, but put them on a list for Byrne so he could leak their names along with Norvell . I don’t think they were ever seriously considered, probably not even approached beyond Sexton, but it sure gave Sexton leverage for negotiating against those other schools.

I can't wait to see how he builds his staff. Hope Grubb comes with him.
I think Grubb will stay in Seattle; next HC at Washington.

Also hope he keeps TRob and a couple from the current staff. Wouldn't mind seeing Rees stay on as QB coach or something like that. Also hope he can pull some folks like Isaiah Bond back into the fold. Looking forward to the future now.
I like all of this.

Sexton could give Niccolo Machiavelli lessons on hard ball tactics

I figured the "I Believe" from our 1966 season was appropriate so brought this our from the cabinet to celebrate. The glass pre-dates me by a bit (from my grandfather), but I'm optimistic about our path forward. No one is Saban for sure, but right now it feels like we've set a positive course for the future.
