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

[NVGator]

Im not moving the goalposts. Stop being a troll and word nazi. The point is still valid, though it really wasnt that big of a point to begin with. He has no time coaching or living in the South. Its a huge culture shock, like McElwain at Florida...can be a bad fit. Dude is a winner though and nothing Ive really seen about him says he is a goofball like McElwain. Was just pointing out that he could be a Kyle Whittingham type who knows where he wants to be and $ wont lure him away given that he has stayed far west of the Mississippi for his entire adult life.

It takes a big man to admit when you’re wrong. I’m proud of you.

Apology accepted.

Fans are going to be calling for Deboer's firing even quicker than ours did for Billy. It's a massive step down from Saban, as massive as the Grand Canyon. He won't be able to handle the pressure there.

Welcome to the Meat Grinder DeBoer.

He's going to see football like never before.

You anticipate back to back losing seasons during their rebuild?

DeBoer already on the recruiting trail in the fine tradition of Washington state coaches.

Shoot I really thought they were going to poach retard Billy, hopefully he got another well deserved a pay bump.

No. We counter offered,-raise and buyout, so we got him. Crisis averted.

Well, count on at least 4 losses next season, let's start there.

Kiffin could go to Bama but I don't see that right now. Kiffin has full reign of the Ole Miss program. He can pretty much do what he wants. I could see Kiffin staying in Oxford a couple of more years and then going to Bama after the guy who follows Saban is fired. You don't want to be the guy who follows the legend. You want to be the guy who follows the guy who follows the legend.

Hard to believe they can afford that and believe he's worth being one of the highest paid in the game. Hope his luck runs out.

I'd be shocked if they get both the construction projects done. The performance center has been delayed multiple times already due to money disappearing when big things seem to happen since its controlled by the boosters.

It's safe to assume Kiffy was never considered.

I hadn't looked at the violations FSU is staring at until just now. Yeah, we don't want him...not with that kind of baggage... I honestly think we would rather have Billy N over him... but that ain't happening neither...

Edit: We'll pay you to take him as offensive coordinate. He's a good 'n.

Mass exodus out of Bammer. Portal floodgate, like a former Bama Alum. Run.....

I heard Billy just signed a 10 year extension worth 125 million.

So you're saying we can get him, and maybe even on the cheap?

Heard to say “It’s rolling, baby!” He’s a natural.

Looks like they hired the one guy who never worked for Saban.

Let's see how he does without a QB like penix

Yes, but I still feel like we got screwed out of this one. He would be great at UF with Lagway coming in.
