Who is Saban's replacement?

[Evil Crimson Dragon]

I as well, not only coaching ability but recruiting as well

Yep, and to keep him away from AU

 

[Cruloc]

I don't want to make too much out of it, but I feel like that is exactly what we've been doing the past 3 years.

Mainly because Nick Saban's coaching staff was gutted when Sark left for Texas.

That's exactly what we've been doing. Trotting out uber talented teams with inconsistent coaching. So much turnover on the staff will do that, its inevitable.

With Debour....and maybe Grubb as OC....TRob as DC....and his OL coach.....we should be a very sound team fundamentally.

Well, let's get to a presser announcing our new coach then we can fill out the staff.

Supposed to be presser tomorrow at noon

 

[CoolBreeze]

I imagine an official announcement will follow the team meeting

You are tearing it up bro.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

OK, we get it. Every one of your posts has been critical of DeBoer's recruiting.

Let's give the man a chance behind the wheel of a Ferrari....

he is just upset his buddy dabo wasn't hired.

Can’t listen to the Seattle station any longer, man , they are crying about the state of CFB. I mean they are really going off! A few days ago they were on top of the world.

 

[BearFoot]

So is DeBoer's name pronounced Da Bear?

If it’s not…it is now 😂

 

[PA Tide Fan]

I'm hearing lots of chatter that TRob has been promoted to D-Cord. This would be HUGE.

That would be outstanding.

I think if it is Deboer we are getting an excellent coach. He has won everywhere he has been. He won't recruit as well as Saban but who does besides Kirby? when Coach Saban first got here he didn't inherit a team full of 4 and 5 star players. He went to the SEC championship game in his second year with mainly a team of coached up 3 stars sprinkled with some 4- and 5-star young players he recruited in his first 2 years. Then the 4 and 5 stars started rushing in because he was winning.

That 2008 recruiting class was the start of it all. Getting Julio changed everything. Julio is probably the most important recruit he ever got. That class also had some guys that were severely underrated. Marcel Dareus was a 3 star. Donta Hightower was a 4 star and you could see from the first practice he was a high 5 star. Not to mention that class had 32 signees. Coach Saban was a master at that time of finding guys the recruiting guys missed on. Once he showed interest their star rating went up.

Kinda like to keep TRob though................give TRob the reigns

Gotta think he'll keep at least one person from the staff

 

[Rkharley98]

should we start a purple bama hat thread

That’ll go over as well as the orange hat thread.

Finebaum now reporting the team meeting, and it’s all but a done deal.

2018 comes to mind. We were so much more talented than everyone and basically said "Ok, Tua...go do Tua things." Defensively we had no discipline at all. We only managed to win so much because no one could block Q.

May keep more than one............It will be interesting to see who he keeps

 

[BearFoot]

I hope that's true.


I'll try to make this the last time I point this out, but in 2019 and 2018 Washington recruited well. This included 16 four stars in one year. So, the issue isn't he recruited poorly in Washington. The issue is he recruited more poorly than his predecessors in Washington.

I hope that gets sorted out, obviously. But only time will tell won't it. So we'll see, first mission is keep the existing guys.

Yes…please

Ye Olde Bama Bump...

Pete Thamel is reporting that DeBoer has notified Washington officials that he taking the Bama job RTR

 

[CB4]

Will be interesting to see what happens OC wise. Grubb has been mentioned as possible replacement for DeBoer at Washington. If he doesn’t get it, does he follow DeBoer to Tuscaloosa?

Life comes at you fast

Good luck, Coach DeBoer.
