WillMunny 1,380 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Very captivating time right now. Belichick and Saban, 2 eras ending, maybe Belichick to another team (Cowboys?), and a new coach in Tuscaloosa. I'm sticking with Kiffin to UA, and hoping for the most intriguing Belichick outcome: HC of the Cowboys. Stranger things have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Dabo Sark Lanning Norvell Muschamp Kalen DeBoer Kitten Mike Vrabel DeMeco Ryans Neon Deion Pete Carroll Rivera Bilicheck Write in_______________________ Add Prime time Sanders.

I would be thrilled if UA had any one of those coaches because they don't understand the UpDyke culture. Whoever is their next coach will have to show their fanbase that he doesn't bow before them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigeraddikt 1,615 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I’m borderline shocked that Saban and Byrne didn’t have an ironclad succession plan in place, or at least the timing of Saban’s announcement didn’t allow for a surefire succession plan. I mean, I love it, but I’m very surprised that he just mentally powered off career-wise in the middle of the workday yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPTiger 5,167 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I would love to know how many have already turned it down. I'm guessing it is 2-3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURex 2,018 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Lanning is not leaving Oregon Kirby would only leave UGA for a pro gig Carroll would not drop down to college Bellichek ditto Sark - why would he leave Texas? Deion at Racist U? hahaha Kiffin has too much baggage and a completely different coaching/recruiting philosophy Dabo only won when Venables and Elliott were running the show and he can't figure out the portal Muschamp dried up failure as a HC Deboer - why would he leave Udub? He'd use Bama interest to bargain for a new contract Vrabel - a prime hire in the NFL not likely to drop to college Norvell - Crappy situation at FSU so he'd be happy to leave, low buy out, Southeastern recruiting Franklin - not on your list, but SEC experience and solid (if unspectacular) performance at Penn State I would be really thrilled if they were to hire Kiffin or Dabo. Quick decline with either of those guys. I woukd be nervous if they succeeded in luring Vrabel. But I think they will end up with Norvell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURex 2,018 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Oooops! NCAA just dropped big penalties on FSU for recruiting violations. Would Bama want to go with Norvell Now? I think not. Is Bama left with Dabo or Kiffin? hahahaha How much fun woukd that be? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiefChewacla 10 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Why is deboer considered a good hire for them? Serious question… his background suggests a deluxe model of Bryan harsin .. not a cultural fit whatsoever. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno has a ring to it like Harsin, no south contacts, i really do not care since no matter who it is, it's not Saban...how long will it take for him to build up recruiting etc...Bama's path is littered with coaches before saban, hoping to return to those days, lol...:) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodford 3,660 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 DeBoer will take the Michigan job in a couple years after they promote their OC and that turns out to be a terrible decision. DeBoer wins everywhere but he better be ready to recruit like he's never done before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
