Home? What the hell does that mean?

it will be whoever Saban has ordained worthy. Prime would not be a bad choice and create a whole nother level of praise for racist uat

Does anyone else find it odd that ESPN broke the story and not a local sports guy?

It may be a clue as to what he thought about the fan base..

Ask Ray Perkins how it is to follow a legend. I bet he still has the brick

The brick was for Bill Curry.

Would be amazing to see what he could do with all that talent.

I noticed that as well.  He had a lot of disdain for the local media.

Like the talent he had at A&M?

Halloween being a holiday would be a MASSIVE feather in the state of Alabama's cap!

A Michael Myers mask would be funny.

A lot of speculation. Here are my thoughts.

 

Saban exits with a record of 5 wins 7 losses at Jordan Hare. WDE!

 

Brian Harson is available! hahaha

 

Dabo Swinney -- Nope! The rise of Clemson to national power occurred when he had his 2 great coordinators, Elliot and Venebles. Since they left, Clemson has tanked.

 

Dan Lanning -- He's guided Oregon to a solid team in the PAC12 with hellu defense and Bo Nix, so I consider him a contender

 

Kalen Deboer -- Got Washington to the CFP, but no SEC experience at all.

 

Lane Kiffin -- The crackpot has cleaned up his act and built a credible team at a 2nd tier SEC school. Offensive guy who, I'm sure, would love to be HC at Bama. But not a great recruiter, preferring to go portal.

 

Steve Sarkisian -- He is a known coach at Bama and his Texas team beat Bama this year and went to the playoff.

 

Kirby Smart -- Obviously successful at UGA and probably the #1 target for Bama, since there are rumors he is thinking about leaving for the NFL. UGA has become Bama2.

 

James Franklin -- He was successful (as success is defined at Vandy) so he has SEC experience, and has a good record at Penn State. But has been unable to recruit at the level of Michigan and Ohio State,

 

Mike Vrabel -- surprisingly fired as head coach of Tennessee Titans, but has had a very fine overall track record. But would he want to jump into the cesspool of college recruiting, NIL and NCAA s***? I doubt it. But Bama has money and he'd be able to continue the elite recruiting that Bama depends on and pull in pro coordinators.

 

Mike Norvell -- Took over at FSU and rebuilt the program to elite status. Very unhappy with being trapped in the ACC.

 

My personal thought / pecking order, just my opinion from the outside --

 

#1 Kirby Smart. After all, taking over from a very successful Mark Richt, Smart has built a power 5 powerhouse. But could Bama lure him away? Frankly, I think not.

 

#2 Norvell because he's proven success at the top power 5 program level and could be eager to leave FSU. 

 

#3 Dan Lanning, because his defense has become elite and he's losing Bo. Rumors on the discussion boards is that Lanning is their first choice.

 

#4 Sarkisian, who has pulled a moribund Texas program up to elite. And can also pull in players from Texas

 

Of course, I'm not privy to the kind of insider information that the BAMA search committee has access to. And I'm sure Saban let the university know that he was planning to retire long enough ago that their recruiting team has already been at work.

 

Go Harsin!

If I lived near there, I'd probably round up some random junk from my house and dump it over there. Nobody would know the difference.
