I'd be fine with Kitten since I do not think he is all that good...I mean he is like another Gus, going to win you some games but usually not the big ones. I just not sure he likes working that hard and Bama would be 24/7...guess we will see. I think it will be him for the simple fact he knows the culture there, he has been successful there and I don't see Lanning or Sark following saban. Kiffin is crazy enough to do so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a very good coach though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishoptf 699 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Here is Greg Byrne's quote from twitter..oops, sorry X...lmao ""As with any coaching search, our goal is to be thorough, but expedient. Our ideal candidate will be strong in recruiting and relationship building, player development, excel in Xs and Os and have the overall ability to lead this historic program. There will be plenty of rumors out there during this process. Next time I talk publicly will be to announce our new coach. If you don't hear it from me, don't believe it. Roll Tide!" Kitten is nowhere close to a strong recruiter..but again I guess we will see...whoever they get will be a downgrade IMHO, saban was really a one of a kind fit for them, just really ran a good program from a coaching and talent perspective...

bootskii 264 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 There is no doubt DeBoer can coach but not sure if anyone has seen Washingtons recruiting classes the past three years. 2022 - rivals class ranking of 89 2023 - rivals class ranking of 24 2024 - rivals class ranking of 46 It's widely known if you can't recruit in the SEC you virtually have no chance in this conference. Don't believe me go ask our last coach.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a very good coach though. That’s fair. I think he can do that though. If Dabo got the Bama job could totally see Chadwell at Clemson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigeraddikt 1,621 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) I think Lane, Dabo, and Mike Norvell are the 3 that make most sense re: hire-a-bility and mutual interest. The only proven HCs that would disgust me if Bama hired would be Smart (would make absolutely no sense whatsoever) or Urban Meyer, and I just don't see that happening, either.

Viper 3,139 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 22 minutes ago, AUwent said: Respectfully disagree. What DeBoer did is much more in line with what Meyer did than Harsin. You can make up for lack of regional experience as long as you have national clout. Which Harsin had neither of. I get the Meyer analogy. But he isn’t Meyer, yet. He would still be coming into a program completely foreign to him where prominent boosters have been waiting 17 years to stick their noses back into their business. Again, in that regard, he is similar to Harsin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But DeBoer hasn’t accomplished a thing in the SEC, much less the intense microscope bammer is. Sonny Dykes was a hot name too this time last year due to also reaching the title game. Let’s see what DeBoer does without his Heisman caliber QB and three All American WRs next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Deion had 2-3 proven years of recruiting and on-field success, I could definitely see it. Not sure Bama wants to gamble that Deion can lead a major program and coach as well as he can recruit. He hasn't proven that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win4AU 4,055 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 The local news just posted James Franklin and ND’s coach. Would love either one of those to end up in Tuscaloosa. Franklin has plateaued at Penn State. He’s going to start feeling heat if they can’t compete with Ohio State and Michigan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
