Breaking Saban retiring

[Fargo Husker]

The real question is…how many Bama transfers will we get now?

Kirby probably wants it @Dawgsauce

That 3 point loss in Atlanta hurts even worse now. Damn. My guess is Lanning or Schumann. Fingers crossed it isn't Schumann.

All of them

 

[Bootleg11]

The GOAT.

I used to think Dabo would take over when Saban retires but then he proved to be average at best without a generational talent at QB so it won’t be him. Should be interesting to see who goes there. I mean literally impossible to fill those shoes.

Dabo's inability to adjust to the transfer portal has really devalued his market.

 

[Goskers07]

Wow. Massive. Dude is an all timer, as much as I hated his teams. Well warned retirement for sure.

 

[Tezzer]

How many championships does he credit to his SEC bagmen?

 

[Steveweiser316]

I’m hearing Coach Prime is their top target or at least that’s the rumor we need to start.

 

[DanasMullet69]

Maybe Deion got him to join the staff as an analyst 🥴

 

[Poor_and_Stupid]

I’d be pleased if Lanning took that job. Currently Oregon is the scariest of the B1G newcomers.

Kirk Ferentz calling a press conference to say he will not be interviewing for the Alabama head coaching job.

With the exception of Georgia, is there any fanbase that can feel safe that their coach would stay if Bama came calling?

I'm not so sure Georgia should feel safe either. Kirby spent 8 years at Bama at DC. If Bama threw stupid money at Kirby in an offer, Kirby would at least have to think about it, right ?

For the record, Kirby probably stays at Georgia, but those insane fucks at Bama would probably give him something to think about if they really wanted him.

Good luck to whoever follows him.

 

[Juro]

I’m hearing Scott Frost to Bama.

Georgia and Michigan, right?
I'm debating Texas in my head. Tough to say Sark would say no if they offered him. It would be pretty crazy if he left and took Arch with him.

I imagine Sark likes Austin better than Tuscaloosa and I think UT is one of the few places that could pay enough to fend off Bama. But I think you're right - almost no school can feel safe.

Bama will reach out to Kirby, Lanning, Deboer, and Sark. I think Sark has the highest chance to jump, but Texas will match. All of those coaches will have agents to use that as leverage.

Makes sense for him to step away... it's a Big Ten world now.

We are going to see some absolutely silly contract extensions in response to this

 

[Steveweiser316]

Allegedly a hire has already been made according to former Bama players. I wouldn’t doubt that. I’m sure Saban has been talking to the AD - it’s not like him to not have a plan.
