This is per Larry Williams at tigerillustrated.com Looks like it will be DeBoer. Here's a name being floated by some REC, Glenn Schumann Glenn Schumann - Wikipedia co-DC at Jawja, 33 years old........I hope that they hire him Edited January 12 by Elephant Tipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotsAU 1,343 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I got curious what Bama fans were thinking. So I went over to one of their message boards. Nick announced that he planned to keep an office in the athletic complex and stay close to the program. They actually seemed kind of annoyed by that because they think it might stop top candidates from taking the job, fearing that they’d have low control over their program. I think they are right. That might be why they haven’t been able to land some of their top candidates. Nobody wants a head coaching role where they have to indirectly answer to Saban.

But, just read he had an inperson meeting with Washington AD is why radio spot got canceled. It will be glorious if he announces he is staying put Edited January 12 by NWALA Tiger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong.🤷🏻♂️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I respect him if I were a HC I wouldn’t want him physically around the program unless I asked for it or input. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishoptf 699 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) I thought Greg Byrne said they were not going to get someone outside of the southeast. I think he is a decent coach, but he has no contacts in the south, I dunno that doesnt seem like a good fit but maybe Saban is going to continue to recruit...LMAO Edit he stated they wanted a strong recruiter...nothing about the southeast...oh well, I like the guy but not sure he is going to be a good fit there, which i'm perfectly fine with ROFL Edited January 12 by bishoptf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southeast. This is a win for Auburn if true. DuBoer is a good coach, but not much of a recruiter historically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aujohnson 304 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Interesting. He either hires folks he isn’t familiar with or he comes in with no southern contacts and relationships. This could get even more interesting. 🍿 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
