Nick Saban retires, replaced with DeBoer; elite players fleeing by the hour

[williston_gator]

Stat of the day: Under Nick Saban, Alabama had more players drafted in the first-round (44) than it had losses (29).

Napier scared him away. The “process” had him sh*tting bricks.

 

[Silverback Gator]

Auburn fans and Freeze are like "Yessss!!!"

 

[Bait'n Gator]

You reckon @Nalt has finished hate fuching his sister yet?

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Does this mean that Hamilton will NOT be the next DC at Bama?

View attachment 66322

Instead of new DC, he is new HC.

Never.

 

[Bushmaster]

Saban fuched your mom didn't he?

Raw

Just another sign of the death of college football. He finally had enough with NIL and the portal and said **** it.

I honestly don't believe Bama was paying as often and as much as some of us needed to believe pre NIL. Besides, they certainly weren't the only ones landing great classes. They sold honesty, loyalty, development, Bama tradition in the Saban era, and whatever else was needed. I could see how players that would have otherwise already committed and be solid were, since NIL, asking "okay, but how much you paying??" and with what players they had on roster and would sign able to move on if they didn't get to start it just becomes hard to keep the roster stocked. Did he really want to work even harder? I think he decided, enough is enough. FFS, he won 11 SEC Championships. Doesn't have a QB on roster that can keep them on top, so decides to fuche it and bolt. Can't blame him.

It would seem to me that Cousin Eddie would be the perfect choice. He is young, Offensive Minded, experience as a HC is the SEC and can you imagine what he could do with that ShotPut armed QB that is returning to Bama next year?

I agree mostly with this. I think Saban is a guy who loves developing and coaching and although Bama did benefit from the transfer portal, I do not think it was something that Saban thrived upon. Lame Kiffy is tailor made for the transfer portal and has shown an ability to be a plug and play coach. Saban is clearly not interested in having to be a plug and play coach.

I imagine every player they just signed is thinking, "sheet, he told me he would be here for three more years."

The portal is open after a coach leaves, so we'll see

If Harbaugh is staying I wouldn't rule out Ryan Day.
I think he knows the bucnuts will get restless really fast.

What a loser, goes 3 years without winning a championship and decides to hang it up.

The most remarkable thing of all is he clicked submit after writing this.

Saban fuched your mom didn't he?

Yeah right after he got done with yours and everybody else's.

This wasn't your best effort.
Regroup and try again

Yes. They just happened to have uncles who bought them Escalades or Hellcats.

Youre terrible at this, but I appreciate you trying. Keep at it.

Remember the sarcasm standards are high around here.

ALL DI schools were cheating at some level. The crybabies wanted to cry because their school wasn't very good at and hardly attractive without it.
