Per Press Box radio show Lanning has been confirmed to be on campus this morning so it looks like he’s our guy.

I was told if Lane Kiffin posts a photoshopped pic of him riding an elephant wearing a straw hat with the script “A” on Instagram, then that is a subtle signal he’s taking the job. Ya’ll keep an eye on it….

My list:

1a) Sark - Been here, knows the Culture, has had success in the SEC as an OC and the BIG12 as a HC

1b) Kiffin - Been here, knows the Culture, and has been successful in the SEC as an OC and a HC

3) Ryan Day - Really good HC with a lot of time to become Great - sorry B1G

4) Kalen DeBoer if he brings Ryan Grubb

5) Kirby for the MELT

I was talking to one of my friends this morning about the mess with the transfer portal, the NIL and what it appears CFB is turning into. I told him my "bold" prediction is that Dabo will retire in less than five years. He's just not cutout to do what it takes to successfully function within the current landscape of college football.

A friend of mine said most people are assuming Sark is happy at Texas. He is from Texas and said he believes the politics/booster interference at Texas is much greater than at Bama. I don't think money will be a big issue. Sark knows he could win at both places. I guess it comes down to where you feel most comfortable.

Yeah, if he's still there and "walking around the campus" it is either a done deal or about to be. But I've been so wrong before about things that I just knew I was so right, so here we go!

Yeah and I am surprised his vegas odds are that high and that he's even seriously being mentioned as a candidate for the Bama HC job.

He refuses to adapt to the changing landscape and he's been involved in more than one behind the scenes controversies ie $100 handshakes under Dubose and Sign Stealing at Clemson.

Imo Kirby is a more realistic candidate and he's about 1000-1

I'd bet he will modify his offense for more balance in the SEC. Gotta be able to run as well, and I bet Sayin will be factored in
well, I'd hope whoever we get as coach would consider that for sure. Not all would, but it also might mean not bringing in your OC, who might not be that apt to change or might only really know the spread. I don't know these things to be true of Lanning or his OC. Just could mean Lanning, if he's the guy, might not bring all his Oregon staff with him.

And I wouldn't blame him one bit.

"Mutual parting" is what ESPN is reporting about Kraft and BB. According to ESPN he still wants to HC.
Danggggggg..Talk about messing with The Barners & the rest of college football collective heads..

Having the best 3 HC's to Coach any level of football in the history of the game would make their heads all explode..😂😂

Yea, five years ago coaches had to suck up to kids to get them to sign on February. Now you’ve got to suck up to them, the ones on campus, the ones at other universities just in case, and still somehow manage to coach football in there somewhere.

I’d retire at that young age too, maybe go coach some football at a small high school somewhere.
