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

[Silverback Gator]

Stricknine better give CBN a raise to keep him from taking over at Bama.

We are done. Napier has to be the first call they make. I knew Nape was too good to be true.

What a chicken shyt coward move by Saban. Right as NIL heats up across the country and levels the playing field, nullifying the huge bags-o-cash operation Saban and Bama have been running for 15+ years, he decides to run for the hills! What a fcvking puzzy! Couldn't handle getting his azz handed to him by Harbaugh!

Prepare yourselves...Urban is on the clock.

 

[Gator By Marriage]

Pete Carroll is available now.

Also 72.

Out of curiosity of who might want to leave I took a look at their '24 recruiting class. Looking more closely, it's an odd mix. While it is the #2 class (per Rivals), they have seven DBs signed, three OLs (only one of whom is a 4*), three 4* DE's (two in the 260# range and one at 220#) and one 3* DT. The signed four LB's, only two of whom are blue chippers and none of whom is over 220#s. For playing in a so-called "Line of Scrimmage" league, that's not a line of scrimmage class.

They also have a few good players from the portal.

Really wish we had half decent head coach to capitalize on this. Instead we have Butters 2.0 and all we are going to capitalize on is barbecue sauce.

No better way to cement your legacy than to set the next guy up for failure

Dis gon be good

Oh man! Just when it is all coming together for BN here at UF Bama is going to swoop in with a watermelon truck full of cash and stel him away.

A 32oz returnable coke bottle would suffice.

 

[Concrete Helmet]

Well a lot of people said Saban was the reason for this guy leaving UF.....It's all coming together just like I said it would....

 

[GatorInGeorgia]

They run out of deer antler velvet in Tuscaloosa so his O-line doesn't look as dominant as it did a decade ago? Is that the reason?

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

Anyone that cant come in to that situation and compete in year 1 is a failure.

That. Would. Suck.

 

[aka]

ESPN probably already has him inked to a deal

Or he's in his 70's, has more money than he knows what to do with, several great accomplishments, and the hard work and grind just isn't worth it anymore.

 

[aka]

That. Would. Suck.

And be hilarious at the same time.

 

[TN G8tr]

Might be a question for @GatorJ but can this recently signed Bama class hit the potal without penalty?

 

[gingerlover]

He’s the GOAT.

I wonder who they’ll hire. Pete Carroll is available now.

He knew how to do NIL before it was cool
