Hi Guest, we are working on updating the site servers and software. We're also 'forcing' everyone to read and agree to our site privacy policy and terms of service. There are no significant changes to either of these but the terms page does clarify a few things that are mostly in the legalese. You can just click the checkbox for both and continue using the site as usual! We'll update you more on the site upgrades VERY soon! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS for supporting the site and being an active participant!
Re: New Discussion Thread on Possible Coaching Changes...
Agree 100%. Kirby may be a great head coach right off the bat but odds are he will need time to learn on the job and I would prefer an experienced, proven head coach.

We didn't lose to the barn, we just didn't run out of time... in time.

Hey, let's not lose sight of the fact that a girl who never existed is dead.
Re: New Discussion Thread on Possible Coaching Changes...
Correct, but the point is we'd be taking a chance, maybe even a big chance. I love what Kirby Smart has done here, but I sincerely hope we're not in the position to have to take chances on our next coach, which is hopefully not anytime soon.
Re: New Discussion Thread on Possible Coaching Changes...
If Saban retires, or goes to the NFL, I think Kirby has earned strong consideration. But, if Saban goes to Texas? That's different because Kirby's agent would have orchestrated it, and who ever is going head-to-head with Saban needs to have the resume to do so.
Re: New Discussion Thread on Possible Coaching Changes...
I thought that was a ploy by them to get someone to help pay for the losses. Not sure if it was the Austin guy or who it was that asked whether or not that was even theirs to give away - it is majority owned by ESPN.

Hi. Greetings Tidefans. Believe it or not I'm a friendly Barner, Awburner, etc. I appreciate the discussions on this site and I understand angst among the group. CNS is an unbelievable coach and he has done so much for UA. I hope he stays right where he is and continues to make the SEC th best conference in the nation. He makes us all want to do better. .....no worries. It's all just speculation.

All that said, I certainly hope he stays.
I don't know. I think Kirby has earned a shot. He has been loyal to us. Luckily, we still have a coach
It's not a knock on Kirby, who has been a fine assistant and undoubtedly an asset for the program. But a school like Alabama with its resources, facilities and tradition doesn't have - or need - to take chances on unproven commodities. It worked out miserably the last two times we tried it (Dubose and Shula). I get that a lot of folks think Kirby would be our best shot to "maintain the status quo" that has been attained under Saban. In my opinion, that status quo goes out the window the minute Saban parts ways with the University. I think he's so far ahead of the rest of the profession that no one man could even attempt to replicate what he's accomplished the same exact way he accomplished it, especially not a career assistant. Given that, I think we make a clean break and bring in the strongest experienced head coach we can find. If that means a departure from Saban's methodology, then so be it. My short list would be pretty similar to Texas' short list: Jimbo Fisher, David Shaw, the Harbaugh brothers. There would be a few others I would consider quality hires.
All that said, I certainly hope he stays.

Tom Osbourn had just been an assistant at Nebraska.

Well Saban is in Texas right now... but he's recruiting Tony Brown.

Colin Cowherd tweeted:
"Was told by a great source (hopefully most are) Saban is still deciding at this hour. Weighing both sides carefully."
I can't blame him for weighing it out if this is true.

Re: New Discussion Thread on Possible Coaching Changes...
Are either tweets real or both jokes?
He tweeted this first: "Saban is such a tireless worker. It was just announced he will take both jobs."

Don't believe anything Cowherd says
