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

[Durty South Swamp]

The idea, that Bama's Admin already have a candidate IN the state of Alabama, trying to ink a deal mere hours after the GOAT say's hes done is so, is so, is, I don't know, it's so....
organized and SEC-ish.

You could almost call it.... professional...

 

[Durty South Swamp]

Oh boy you just hate to see it. Hopefully more of these morons melt downs are coming. Can't wait to see them fall back to earth just a little.

Willie is a national treasure.

They want to wrap this up in 3 days? I assume you keep a list of targets & Nick may have told them some time ago, but I’d much rather be sure than quick. It isn’t a plug & play job. They ran through 4 last time over 10 years to get to Saban. Dubose. Franchione. Price. Shula.

Popcorn time.

4.5

Can't forget about the Rich Rod saga.

Know someone close to this situation and they are hinting Dabo. They are being very coy about it so who knows .

Hopefully no one else will think of it.

Technically, since Price never coached a game there were only three. But hey, Price was "rolling baby" down in Pensacola for a night...

Yeah, upon further review Franchione left on his own to avoid sanctions and Price was fired for cause without ever coaching. They did give the other stiffs four years.

Steele (DC) probably knew something was up as to why he was going to retire as the DC as MSN reported.

I doubt two guys will well known heart conditions would be the top two on their list. Urbs is not cut out for it anymore. Just as almost all of us said he would flop in the NFL b/c he cannot handle losing more than one game a year, he could not handle the grind of potentially losing multiple games every season.

He handled losing 5 games just fine in 2010. Never saw him so relaxed.

Now would be a good time to go after bama's AD.
I'm sure he'd rather be searching for Napier's replacement over replacing a legend.

Yeah, and there were rumors that prior to hiring Saban Mal Moore tried to get the deal done asap but because he couldn't get in touch with Sexton because he was on an airplane, he made a "handshake" deal with Rich Rod. No ink was put to paper with Rich Rod so when they did get with Saban's agent they got to hire who they wanted, Saban.

Lanning staying at Oregon.

Oregon coach Dan Lanning: 'I'm not leaving'

Lanning was immediately mentioned as a candidate to take over for Nick Saban at Alabama.

Translation: "I just got a biiiiiiiiigggggg extension."

If there's any Power 5 school that had to be tired of losing head coaches it has to be Oregon

No, I think they're quite happy they "lost" Willie Taggart.

In retrospect. They weren't at the time.

Bama is in deep doodoo. Anyone after Saban is going to be a step down, and how many coaches want to follow a legend?

Lane Kiffin is the perfect moron for the job.

I hear Dan Mullen is available though

Would someone remind me what Saban said when he was at Miami when asked about the Bama job?
