Wow.

Who's next? Kirby? Dabo? Lane?

 

[guaranteeed]

Lanning?

 

[guaranteeed]

Hes on game day next year I bet

 

[Inspekdah]

Wow.

Who's next? Kirby? Dabo? Lane?

Is it a better job than those 3?

Feel like Saban > Alabama

 

[KJ]

Going spend more time with Aflac and Prime

 

[pressitup]

he scurred 0u and tx coming into league?

 

[Inspekdah]

NIL was a great neutralizer for Saban and the rise of Georgia certainly made things difficult to keep having a monopoly on the sport.

 

[Inspekdah]

he scurred 0u and tx coming into league?

He just knows there's never going to be a dynasty like he had - so why at this point? Too many other teams with NIL competition with Bama now. He doesn't have a QB - not sure why. Run!

 

[CPA-hole]

I cant see Kirby leaving Georgia.

 

[twinkie13]

Lane makes the most sense.


Washington guy?

 

[CANT COMPLAIN]

No way Kirby goes.
Who ever takes the job it want last.
It’s usually the following hire that cashes.

 

[Brewers888]

Cristobal was once an assistant under Saban. It’s a joke Bama fans a bad one but a joke just the same.

 

[PNGFROM2003]

Lane makes the most sense.


Washington guy?

Shut ya mouth. Lanes a disgrace. Shhhhh

 

[PNGFROM2003]

Hope they find someone as capable as Les Miles. Lol.

More transfer portal and Kirby than NIL. Ever since NIL came along, Alabama has finished no worse than 3rd in recruiting. So I doubt it's that. Rumor is that Ms Terry has some health issues

 

[gps_3]

Wow.

Who's next? Kirby? Dabo? Lane?

I don't think it will be Lane. Saban never forgave him for the 2016 CFP stuff, doubt he will give his blessing and I have to believe his opinion will carry some weight, good or bad. Most people seem to think Lanning is at the top of the list. Not sure Dabo would come anymore, but who knows? And I'm sure someone will at least reach out to Kirby, even if they know the answer

 

[gps_3]

Though I do think NIL, and it's lack of regulation, was a big factor. He was all for players getting endorsements, but he was not supportive of what it has devolved into

Many of these guys would be well served to stay put.

What has it devolved into? (I dont follow it closely)

Paying recruits to visit, paying them to sign, basically just pay for play. It’s written as players can use their name, image or likeness for profit, like endorsements, autographs, etc. But the ncaa put its head in the sand and schools started pushing the limits on giving out $

Like that pic someone posted of juco kid in a lambo

 

[cubsker]

Just don't fuck it up with your version of Frank Solich.

 

[gps_3]

Rumors flying right now obviously. Not sure what to believe yet. Some of the best guys have reported that Byrne (our AD) told the team the new coach will be announced in 72 hours. Also hearing that Saban was interviewing coaching candidates yesterday and then retired today, giving some credence to the health rumors of his wife if it was just found out. Also a lot of smoke on Dan Lanning. Should be an interesting ride.

 

[Coverdatspred]

Getting old sucks. To see Carroll and Saban go in the same day is kinda depressing. Pretty sure by the sound of Pete's press conference though he still has gas in the tank.

 

[Frank Costanza]

Sucks, college football just won't be the same.

One of my favorite coaches, ever, in any sport.

Pete is insane.

Beacon of health. He looks unbothered as fuck

There's a reason he's still staying on with the team, guy with that motor can't just tap out completely but guessing he'll enjoy some spare time that he likely never has.

Has more time to look into 9/11 now

Let’s make some money…is Lanning worth betting on at only +200?

Oh no, Miss Terry sick?

 

[gps_3]

Oh no, Miss Terry sick?

Hopefully not, but I’m hearing it from several different folks, most in the medical community. One of those progressive degenerative illnesses

 

[Canes1]

Cowherd saying he got told Byrne wants DeBoer

Lots going on to only be +200, move to big 10 I'm sure is the biggest factor

Would think Dabo would be good with moving on if that's truly his dream job, not sure what their pecking order is from Bama perspective (the decision makers, not the base)

That said, SEC guy going to Bama as opposed to all that travel in the B1G would seem to make the most sense for Lanning. Crazy to think a job like Oregon could keep coming open the way it has/could be

 

[KJ]

Also I hate selfies but one with a Franklin ticket would be worth the investment

 

[twinkie13]

Cowherd saying he got told Byrne wants DeBoer

I don’t even believe him if it came to USC/Washington.

He know nothing about down this way

 

[Canes1]

I agree. Just thought it was interesting he said it specifically. He usually is more vague so he can say he was right.

Also, Clemson is the biggest and best job Dabo will ever have unless his attitude towards the portal does a 180.

I think the Dabo ship has sailed, on both sides

 

[Two Utes]

Save your money with a Cristobal bet.

 

[Canes1]

Lots of internet rumors that they are announcing the new coach tomorrow.

 

[braves]

I’d give Lou Holtz a call , can’t hurt

 

[Frank Costanza]

I think the Dabo ship has sailed, on both sides

Given his apparent disdain for the NIL, the ship has sailed on Swinney being (overly) sucessful now, anywhere. Especially in the SEC.

Not sure why he's even considered a viable candidate given his seemingly archaic mindset and resistance to adapt to CFB as it is in today's world.

 

[twinkie13]

Kiffin or Lanning. They said Saban was interviewing? Wonder if we get a shocker here? Any NFL names maybe?

Then Pete Carroll Oregon .. Boom , let’s go !

I read within 72 hours

 

[skanless13]

My money is on Dan Lanning.
